My child, I will restore all that was lost. I am moving in the earth to establish My purposes. The enemy has had his way for too long. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, is anything too difficult for Me? The Lord your God is in your midst. A victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy. He will be quiet in His love. He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy. 

Jeremiah 32:26   Zephaniah 3:17

A storm is coming that will try to shake and rattle your faith, but I am your strong refuge. I am your Rock. Come to Me and you will find shelter from this storm. You don’t need to fear, just trust that I am in this to bring about good. I do not allow the storms to devastate you, but to draw you ever closer to Me. Be strong and courageous. Keep your eyes on Me. I will not only bring you through, but you will be refined, shining ever brighter and your faith will be so much stronger. Trials build character. My goal is for you to be a pure and spotless bride. I finished this work on the cross. It is no longer you who lives, but I live in you. Allow Me to live through you. Die to self. Die to your rights. Die to your dreams. Die to your passions. Let Me live through you. Let Me speak through you. You can only do this if you are fully surrendered in ever area of your life.

My child, oh how I love you. How I long for you and cherish the time we spend alone. Just you and Me. How I long to pour out My heart to you and show you My glory. How I long to be one with you and enjoy the intimacy that is ours alone. My desire is to pour out My joy, My peace, My strength and My power. I freely give you these as you come and commune with Me. Come My bride, come into a deeper place with Me. Let Me have My way with you entirely. For in this you will experience true fulfillment, oneness, wholeness and completeness.

My child, I am calling out to you. I am extending My hand for you to grab hold. I know you feel like you’re falling, like there is no hope or end to this current situation. But I am here in the midst of this suffering. I am drawing you closer to Me. I am leading you out from this world into Mine. I want you to experience My kingdom here on earth, but you have to let go of your attachment to this world. Let go of the old and experience the new, high calling I have for you. I love you deeply. Grab hold of My hand. You are protected and safe with Me. 

I have brought you into a deeper place with Me. A quiet place. A place that at times seems uncomfortable, but the place of silence is a good place. I want to soothe your soul. I want to wash over you, to cleanse and purify you. Let Me do this work My child. Continue to submit to this purification process. For it will last but a season and then I will bring you into a season where you will see much fruit. The harvest is ripe, and I have caused the fruit of many years of your hard work to ripen. You will joyously bear much fruit in the season that is coming. Your heart will be glad and the season you are in now will quickly fade into a past memory of a sweet time spent at My feet. Rest assured My child, I have everything under control. You do not have to fear or fret, but only trust that in due time you will look back and smile because you will see My purpose accomplished. Take heart, be strong and courageous. 

My child, I am with you in the storm. I calm the seas and give you peace. I hear the cry of your heart, and I have not forgotten My bride. You will be refined by the fire but not burned. You will come out of this without even the hint of the smell of smoke on your clothes. Keep believing. Keep praying. You will prevail and be victorious. I am your dread Champion.

“But the Lord is with me like a dread champion;
Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be utterly ashamed, because they have failed,
With an everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.” Jeremiah 20:11

“Oh give us help against the adversary, for deliverance by man is in vain. Through God we will do valiantly, and it is He who shall tread down our adversaries.” Psalm 108:12-13

We should live in such a way that the world will believe that God exists and sent Jesus to save them. John 17:21

The joy of the Lord is your strength today. Take time to focus on your blessings. While the world is in panic mode, you have My peace. You have the assurance of My promises. Set your mind and keep it set on Me. In the world you have tribulations, but take courage. I have overcome the world. John 16:33

My child, the enemy takes great pleasure in attacking your identity. He wants to keep you bound and imprisoned in guilt and shame.  Jesus took your sins on the cross and when I look at you I see you through His blood. You are purified, made right and without sin. Know who you are and whose you are. Shake off every lie the devil tries to throw at you. “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21
