Battered and Torn but not Destroyed

And the Lord says, “Even that which the enemy had shall be your reward. You have stood the test and now I say you shall pursue, overtake and recover all. You must not fear for I Am with you and I Am on your side. I see you being battered and torn in your storm but I Am He who speaks to the storm and it must be still. When I have accomplished that which I have planned you shall emerged fully victorious and though you are battered and torn you shall not be utterly destroyed”

1 SAMUEL 30:17-20 “AND DAVID SMOTE THEM FROM TWILIGHT EVEN TO THE EVENING OF THE NEXT DAY, AND NOT A MAN OF THEM ESCAPED, EXCEPT 400 YOUTHS WHO RODE CAMELS AND FLED. 18DAVID RECOVERED ALL THAT THE AMALEKITES HAD TAKEN AND RESCUED HIS TWO WIVES. 19NOTHING WAS MISSING, SMALL OR GREAT, SONS OR DAUGHTERS, SPOIL OR ANYTHING THAT HAD BEEN TAKEN; DAVID RECOVERED ALL. 20ALSO DAVID CAPTURED ALL THE FLOCKS AND HERDS [WHICH THE ENEMY HAD], AND THE PEOPLE DROVE THOSE ANIMALS BEFORE HIM AND SAID, THIS IS DAVID'S SPOIL.”

You will See!

There are a number of ways the Lord speaks to me. One such way is by connecting seemingly meaningless words and then repetitively bringing them to my attention on signs, billboards, license plates, freight trucks. I believe this is because I spend so much time driving. I do not believe in coincidences and as a student of the Word and partaker of the Ministry of Holy Spirit, I take very seriously the promptings of the Lord to lead and direct my life along His ordained path. It is only by obedience to the little things as citizen of the Kingdom can God begin to trust us with keys that will unlock the Kingdom.

One such word that the Lord began showing me on license plates about 6 months ago is “EYE”. The Lord then began speaking to me about spiritual sight and our need to “see” into the realm of the spirit so that we can apprehend direction and guidance in these difficult times. So when I began having multiple “EYE” sightings on license plates over the last few days I again began to seek the Lord for further revelation. Most of the time when a word is being developed in my spirit I don’t share it until I have a clear interpretation from Holy Spirit. I had not shared this multiple “EYE” sighting with anyone and then yesterday as we were driving my husband said to me, honey look at what is on that license plate. I looked up and there it was again, “EYE”.

Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Amplified Bible) “Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch or shoot of an almond tree [the emblem of alertness and activity, blossoming in late winter]. 12Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.”

And the Lord says, “You will all begin to see. I Am pouring out My Spirit on all flesh and even those who have missed it in former seasons, and even those who have eyes but in former seasons have not been able to see because they have allowed their senses to become dull, I say, you will now begin to see. Divine revelation is being poured out. I say to you again and again, let he who has eyes, see what the Spirit is revealing and let he who has an ear, hear what the Spirit is saying. As you begin to see you will realize that amidst all of your struggle, even while you were being tossed to and fro by the your storms I have been in EYE of the storm and I declare that I Am alert, I Am active and I Am watching over My Word to see that it is performed and perfected just as I have ordained.”

Do Not Back UP!

I know that the enemy is seeking to zap the last of your strength, but, you must be encouraged and know that My strength shall never fail you; for in your weakness My strength is made perfect. You must know even as your physical and spiritual arms grow weary that you are not holding on to Me I Am holding on to you and the Arm of your God shall never fail you. I Am coming and I Am going to overwhelm you with My love to bring courage, strength and hope for the glorious day that I have planned for you. I see you; I have not lost sight of you and I Am aware of the circumstances that are causing you great strain. I Am aware of the battle that is waging in you and around you. But, I say to you, now is not the time to back up or back down. Do not allow the enemy to cause your emotions or your natural circumstances to stagnate you. The simple reason that you are faced with such opposition is because you are a force to be reckoned with. The enemy knows that you are a battle axe in the hand of your God and your very life is a threat and an assault on the enemy’s kingdom. You must receive the revelation NOW of your value to the Kingdom of God. I say again, I have not lost sight of you; do not lose sight of Me and do not lose sight of the dreams that I have placed in your heart to bring hope for your tomorrows. I see your tears as you cry out and I see your broken heart and even now in your brokenness I Am perfecting you. My love will overwhelm you; it will empower you to press in and to press on. Even as you press forward I say, wait with patient endurance, for you are not waiting on man you are waiting on God and they that wait upon the Lord, they shall renew their strength, they will be strong like eagles soaring upward. As life burst forth from a dead, dry seed so shall it be for you. Though you feel dead and dry I have allowed your circumstances and trails to create the right atmosphere and soil in which you will burst forth and mature into a fruitful tree who will offer shade and nutrients to the Kingdom. Do not be afraid, do not fear. I say keep pressing, keep pushing and whatever you do, do not back up.”, says the Lord.

Psalm 34:18 (NLT) “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Psalm 51:17 (NLT) “The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.”

Isaiah 40:31(CEV) But those who trust the LORD will find new strength. They will be strong like eagles soaring upward on wings; they will walk and run without getting tired.”

Germination has Begun

As I was seeking the Lord in prayer today the Lord said to me, “Don’t stop now the germination process has already begun.” When the Lord gave me the word germination I did some research and this is what I found:

If a seed is not allowed to germinate (sprout) within some certain length of time, the embryo inside will die. Each species of seed has a certain length of viability. Some maple species have seeds that need to sprout within two weeks of being dispersed, or they die. Some seeds of Lotus plants are known to be up to 2000 years old and still can be germinated. Assuming the seed is still viable, the embryo inside the seed coat needs something to get its metabolism active to start the embryo growing. The process of getting a seed to germinate can be simple or complicated but it is basically the breaking out of the radical of the seed from its covering (the seed coat). Seed germination occurs when the seed is provided with proper care, food, water and temperature. This is the first step in the plant growth. A small radical or baby plant emerges out of the seed in this process. Seed germination is an irreversible process. Germination includes the changes that take place from the time the dry seed is provided with suitable conditions to when the seeding becomes established as an independent. Various changes take place during germination. When you look at a seed you are looking at the seed coat. As people wear coats for protection from foul weather, seed coats perform much the same function. They provide protection against entry of parasites, against mechanical injury and, in some seeds, against unfavorably high or low temperatures. Inside the seed coat is the embryo, an immature plant with all the parts of the adult plant. A close look shows leaves and a root -- they may be tiny but they are the beginnings of a plant. Germination is a fascinating process. Seeing a tiny seedling emerge from a dry, wrinkled seed and watching its growth and transformation, is observing the mystery of life unfolding. The first sign of germination is the absorption of water -- lots of water. This activates an enzyme, respiration increases and plant cells are duplicated. Soon the embryo becomes too large, the seed coat bursts open and the growing plant emerges. The tip of the root is the first thing to emerge and it's first for good reason. It will anchor the seed in place, and allow the embryo to absorb water and nutrients from the surrounding soil.

What struck me was the incredible parallel to the working of Holy Spirit in our lives. And the Lord says, “Don’t stop now the seed has taken root. Before you can see the fruit of the seeds that have been planted in you ; you must first know and understand that the roots must first grow down deep. Your time of germination has arrived. I have set everything on course and it shall not stop until it has been completed in you. The enemy has increased the noise that is trying to convince you that nothing has changed but I say to you today not only are you still viable and productive, but everything that you need to bring forth life is already on the inside of you. And at just the right moment and under the right conditions you will burst forth and produce life out of what once seemed dead and unproductive. And even for those of you who have seen little growth I say to you today you must allow My Living Water to flow through you, giving you all you need to grow and mature into My expressed image so that I can launch your into your destiny. I have begun a good work in you and I am committed to you to bring it into its fullness. Be confident in this; once the root is set in place you will be anchored, immovable and steadfast in Me and I will allow the divine access like never before. I have kept you for such a time as this and you are like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever you do shall prospers.”

On What Else are you Basing your Confidence?

Isaiah 30:15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it."

“Do not allow the enemy to undermine your confidence as you press into your desire for total dependence on Me. On what else are you basing this confidence of yours? For your confidence cannot be in man, nor your flesh, nor this world. Find your courage and confidence and press into the new so that you can leave the old behind. You must free yourself of the old desires that are self-seeking and trying to overwhelm you and force you to forfeit the destiny desires that I placed in your heart when we danced together in the secret place. Gain confidence in Me. Put your trust and reliance in Me. For I Am He; the One who has never left you or forsaken you. Yes you have lost much in the last season, but there is no measure of loss that can compare to what I have planned for you from before the foundation of the earth. Yes, let your soul take refuge and finds shelter and confidence in Me. Yes, in the shadow of My wings you must take delightful refuge and be confident until calamities and destructive storms are passed. As you transition you must keep your focus and keep your eyes stayed on Me for I will keep you firm and strong and I will be the Light unto your path so that your foot is not caught in a trap or any hidden danger. You have come to a new place, a higher level and as you come up higher you shall find your confidence as you submit to reverent and worshipful fear of Me. This is a season that I Am commanding you to get lost in My Presence so that you can find your place of peace and joy. Turn and return again to the communion we shared when I was your first love. As you return to Me in confident faith trust and love through devoted prayer, fasting and worship I shall direct and establish your way confidently. Choose this day. Again I say, on what are you basing this confidence of yours?”

Proverbs 3:26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.”

Proverbs 29:25 “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever leans on, trusts in, and puts his confidence in the Lord is safe and set on high.”

Jeremiah 17:7 “[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.”

Hebrews 10:35 “Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward.”

Luke 17:6 “And the Lord answered, If you had faith (trust and confidence in God) even [so small] like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots, and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.”

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]”

Hebrews 4:16 “Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Hebrews 6:18 “So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.”

I Am sending the Autumn Rains

"I Am sending the autumn rain! This fall will begin a downpour of My Spirit, Power and Presence never seen or experienced before by those of this generation. I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh in unprecedented ways! Yes I will pour down My blessings and your land will yield a bountiful harvest and you shall see truth, righteousness and justice spring up in the earth ushering in manifestations of the Kingdom. This shall be an abundant rain which shall bring restoration and confirm My love and faithfulness to a people that have grown weary in their seasons of drought and barrenness. It will be a refreshing rain, washing away the dredge of discontent and hopelessness. It shall be a display of My commitment to you as Jehovah Jireh; your God who provides even in the barren wilderness. No dry place shall be left untouched for I Am pouring down righteousness and the earth shall be completely saturated. So abundant shall be the rain that some will become overwhelmed and they will cry out, ‘Lord, Lord don’t you care that we drown?’ But I will again say don’t you know that you have been built upon a Rock; your foundations is strong, do not be afraid the rains will not overtake you. For those who have been sure-footed and fixed upon the Rock you shall not be moved but you shall see Me in the rain and you shall know that it has not come to destroy but to build you up and propel you into your new season. I will speak to the rain and it shall yield My will for your life. Your perspective must change if you are to receive the blessing of this rain. Do not allow the enemy to deceive you into believing that the rain is just another storm come to overtake you. You must remember that I Am He who speaks to the wind and the rain, ‘Peace be still.’ The rain has come to lift you above the barrenness that has sought to keep you in bondage. In days ahead you shall receive a new revelation of My power over all that I have created and My ability to use all things to produce blessings in your life. I Am the God who restores; a season of restoration shall begin this fall and it shall continue into the spring where rains of abundance shall fall and you will know and understand that I Am God who always satisfies.”

Joel 2:23-24 “Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem! Rejoice in the LORD your God! For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness. Once more the autumn rains will come, as well as the rains of spring. The threshing floors will again be piled high with grain, and the presses will overflow with new wine and olive oil.”

Through the Eyes of Grace

I was seeking the Lord for a breakthrough in a certain area of my own life when He spoke the words “through the eyes of grace". As I reasoned this with the Lord He simply said to me, “It is through the eyes of grace that I saw you and continue to see you as you navigate on the journey of your life in Me.”

“As you press on and press in you will need to see through the eyes of grace. This is the way that I see you and now I require that you look through eyes of grace to get to your next level of your assignment. The eyes of grace moves you forward. The eyes of grace give you heavenly and divine perspective. Through the eyes of grace you will see from My point-of-view. I have gifted you and your trials have trained you to make you a Body with great ability and great authority. You have become a people who are now capable to carry out that which I have called you to; you are now well qualified for your work. As My emerging leaders you will need that one thing that sets you apart and that one thing it is your ability to look beyond your own understanding and rise up to see all things and all people through the eyes of grace. When you see, understand and move through the eyes of grace you become a vessel whereby My love, kindness, patience, long-suffering and gift of salvation is freely demonstrated through you to an undeserving world. As you filter your very life through the eyes of grace you shall be called a people of unusual wisdom, peace and love and then truly you shall be established as My ambassadors in the earth. I command you today, live, move and have you being through the eyes of grace", says the Lord.

Ephesians 2:7-9 “He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus. For it is by free grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law's demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]”

Think Vertical

Last week as I was driving I saw the most amazing bumper sticker which simple said “Think Vertical” I was floored by this because the Lord has been speaking to me about the immediate need for the Body to stop its wandering, cease from going around the mountain and to begin it vertical ascent up the mountain of God. I immediately discerned that this was a word from Him but I could not imagine how this bumper sticker would be a catalyst to usher me into what the Lord is saying to us in this season. Over the next few days as I sought the Lord various issues began to surface in my own life, all of which I am thankful for because I know we are in a season of pruning and God is doing a refining work in His elect and chosen. I began to hear the Lord speak key phrases which have blessed and encouraged me and I know they will encourage you also as you continue to press into your purpose and destiny.

And the Lord said, “You will be transformed by the renewing of your mind so I say to you My child, stay focused, pray and don’t quit because the prayers of the righteous availeth much. Look again and know that I have ordained each day of your life. And today you must know and understand by divine revelation that the battle is not yours so relinquish your need to control and allow Me to be Lord over every issue and area of your life. As you press into this season there will be obstacles that you will have to stand against; so you must be persuaded that if you are to share in My glory you must also share in My suffering. My Beloved, even as you are now feeling overwhelmed by this current situation remember that I will never give you more than you can bear and I have already made a way out for you My precious one. With steadfastness, you must prepare for acceleration because a season of advancement is upon you and there is no time to look back now. Don’t let the enemy bully you because he is a counterfeit and he goes around roaring like a lion seeking whom he can devour; he is a liar and the father of lies; there is no truth in him. I love you and I will rejoice over you with singing, I will wipe away every tear My beloved for truly weeping may endure for a night but your joy is nearer than you think because morning draws nigh. Above all anchor yourself in Me for I Am your firm foundation. My child, come up higher and look again from My perspective; your future is glorious for I shall complete My work in you. And I say, And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:7-9”

You are Chosen

And the Lord says “Just as I have chosen you for a specific purpose in My plan for the earth and as surely as I have an eternal destiny planned for your life the enemy of your soul has also chosen you and he has chosen you for a reason. My children in this season you must know that you are called out, chosen and favored of the Lord. And I have qualified for a specific task. I have ordained you with all of the gifts, talents and abilities that you will need to accomplish My will for your life. But, just as I have gifted you for My purposes and for Kingdom use; the enemy also seeks to abuse and misuse your gifts, talents and abilities for his own purposes. He sees all that I have placed inside of you and he is seeking to pervert them for his purposes. You must know Who you belong to and you must commit yourself and your gifts solely to Godly use. You must be determined not to defile yourself with the things that are outside of My will and you must be committed to submit yourself to My laws and My precepts which I have created to bring order to your life and to keep you protected from the perversion of the enemy.”

Read Daniel 1

Watch the Sign Posts Ahead

And the Lord says, "Watch your footing for there are a series of sharp shifts and turns ahead. In order for you to maneuver successfully your footing must be firm. You must be rooted, planted and grounded in the Word. For the sign posts ahead will be many and if you are not studying to show yourself approved as My workmanship, you will be unable to discern and divide between what is coming as direction from Me and what is from the enemy. The condition of your heart will determine the direction you take. This is why I say I must have your heart; turn your heart to me and be delivered into your freedom."

Joshua 24:22-24 “You are a witness to your own decision,” Joshua said. “You have chosen to serve the LORD.” “Yes,” they replied, “we are witnesses to what we have said.” “All right then,” Joshua said, “destroy the idols among you, and turn your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.” The people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God. We will obey him alone.”

1 Samuel 12:20 “Don’t be afraid,” Samuel reassured them. “You have certainly done wrong, but make sure now that you worship the Lord with all your heart, and don’t turn your back on him.”

2 Chronicles 6:36-39 "When they sin against you—for there is no one who does not sin—and you become angry with them and give them over to the enemy, who takes them captive to a land far away or near; 37 and if they have a change of heart in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captivity and say, 'We have sinned, we have done wrong and acted wickedly'; 38 and if they turn back to you with all their heart and soul in the land of their captivity where they were taken, and pray toward the land you gave their fathers, toward the city you have chosen and toward the temple I have built for your Name; 39 then from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their pleas, and uphold their cause. And forgive your people, who have sinned against you.

Jeremiah 17:5 “This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD.”

Joel 2:12 “Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored].”

Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'

Hebrews 3:12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

Announce a Time of Fasting

The Lord has brought me into a season of fasting and because He has called me to live a fasted life over the last 9 years I immediately realized that when I began this particular fast I was met with much more resistance and opposition in the spirit realm and immediately discerned that this would not be fasting as usual. With this realization I began to seek the Lord’s direction in His Word. He led me to Joel 2:12-13 “That is why the LORD says, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don’t tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.”

And the Lord says, “Announce a time of fasting, call for deep repentance to see the manifestation of the Lord’s promised restoration. Though your wilderness has left you desolate of soul; this is a new level and will require an intensified consecration to keep you pressing forward unhindered. I Am causing you to look deep within your own heart so that I can cleanse you of those hidden impurities lodged in your soul. Yes, I have called you to a season to turn down your plates and submit your bodies to Me and I will sustain you. But there is another fast that I Am calling you to in this season that requires you to submit your souls to me; this is a fast that requires you to lay your hearts bare before Me. And, in the same way that you turn down your plates to bring your bodies under subjection, so you must also break open your hearts before Me; thereby pouring out the toxicity that has grown deep down into your soul because of your last season of trial and testing. It is a solemn time and in this season I Am requiring the pouring out of your heart. Empty yourself; cleanse your soul that I might fill you and refresh you. I Am requiring true repentance that can only come from a heart that will submit to being broken and poured out before Me. I Am the Potter and I can, and I will put your broken heart and battered soul back together again. This cannot just be lip service or self gratifying works of the flesh that causes men to see you and praise you. This must be a cry that is birthed in your soul for this is the season of the soul cry. Let everything that has breathe cry out. Your wailing produces a sound that is heard in heaven and that will evoke a response from My throne. I will awaken you in the middle of the night hours to pray. Watchmen it is time to arise and get back on your watch. As you watch, fast and pray there will be divine realignment, divine release, divine breakthrough, and divine advancement. I Am establishing a standard of righteousness and holiness in My Body NOW. Yes there is a remnant that desires to serve Me in truth and I Am setting you apart for My use. I Am the Lover of your soul and I Am calling you to pour out your heart so that your soul can be made into a dwelling place for My presence.”

Even as I began to pour out my heart before the Lord I found myself moving through a continuous cycle of pleading, desperation and then deep anguish. As my tears ran down I repented to the Lord for the many times that I have imposed my will over His will and; I confessed that I am totally willing to submit and forsake my will in order to apprehend His will for my life. I also used this time to let my Father know how robbed I feel because of the disappointment of not seeing the manifestation of so many promises that I believe were birthed in heaven and conceived in my womb by Him. I travailed and told Him how far out of my reach my dreams had seemed to become. In this moment I poured out my hurts, my disappointments and my hope deferred that has now made me heart sick. I even began feeling a bit selfish and ungrateful in my despair. I confessed that I know of His love for me, I confessed I know of His faithfulness towards me and His relentless pursuit of me. I told Him that I am persuaded that the good work that He has begun in me shall be completed. I could feel the warring of spirit and soul and even as my spirit emanated, “Lord they will be done” my heart was breaking wide open before Him. Then suddenly in the midst of my flood of tears I heard this gentle whisper, “I want to give you the desires of your heart.” And immediately the storm ceased its raging, my heart stood still, and I could feel peace begin to gently usher into my soul. I then said, “Oh my soul, wait upon the Lord for He wants to give you the desires of your heart.” And the Lord said, “Oh My faithful one, continue to delight yourself in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart.”

High Point

To celebrate July 4th my church family went on a picnic. As we were walking up to the picnic area off to the side the park staff was assembling a “mock” mountain for mountain climbing activities. For reasons I did not immediately understand I found myself fascinated by the sight of this large mock mountain. Not realizing that the Lord would later reveal to me why my attention was drawn to the mountain I dismissed it as just my curiosity. As we were leaving at the end of the picnic the Lord again drew my attention to the mountain, but this time, because the event was over and they were dismantling everything, the mountain was now laying on its side. I remember thinking how “strange” to see a mountain on its side.

And the Lord says, “The horizontal movement is over, it’s time for you to vertically ascend! I have positioned you high on a mountain for I Am raising you up to give you a new vision of your future. I declare that your perspective will change as you come up higher. No longer are to proceed on a horizontal path for you have been in a lying down and a reclining position for far too long. And I say to you today, no more going around the same old mountain for I have brought you through your wilderness place and I Am now bringing you up the mountain of your God. In the days ahead I will propel you on a vertical journey where you will advance through successive levels that were once insurmountable with great tenacity and strength. You must now ascend and travel on the path that I have ordained for you in an upward momentum that I have now released by My Spirit. Find your footing at a new place in the mountain and come up higher My beloved; so when you traverse the road ahead your feet shall be firmly planted on the path that I have ordained for you. You must be confident to maneuver in this new place through faith-filled submission and obedience. Your worship and praise will be as wind beneath your feet. If you are going to advance unhindered you must use your faith to climb this mountain."Again I say, be confident My child for you are being elevated spiritually and as you continue on in your persistence and endurance you will see the manifestation in this new place and you gain all the strength to keep moving forward. Come up higher My beloved.”

Let this be your confession of faith:

I am known by God. I have been set apart and I am chosen. God has put His word in my mouth and watches over it to make certain that it comes to pass. I will do what God has instructed me to do and I will say as He has told me to say. I will not be afraid for He has made me strong; He has fortified me in Himself. He will always be with me for He cares for me.

Adapted from Jeremiah 1
