NO MATTER WHAT, REJOICE

March 12, 2010

This is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Remember that whatever you are going through I am there with you going through it with you. I have escaped the transgressions of life with victory so that you can do the same. I have carried the pain and torment so that you don't have to bear it. Cast all your cares upon Me for I alone care for you in a way that no one else can. So depend upon Me, trust Me, talk to Me in a way that you need to, in an open and honest way, because I understand.

I have been through it all, and I know how it feels to be rejected and betrayed by those close to you. I know how it feels to have friends who leave you when they are needed the most. I know how it feels when everything you trusted in the most lets you down. Remember that I went to the Cross for you when you never even knew Me or loved Me. I gave My life for you so that you would be free.

So when you go through the hard times, remember that I've been there and done that so that you would already have the victory over it, if you would only claim My victory as your own. I overcame the world, and I have prepared a place for you, a glorious place, a place in glory.

Glorify My name in every situation. Cast your care upon Me and rejoice for surely this is the day I have made, and surely you will rejoice in it!

NEW LEVEL IN TRUST

February 4, 2010

Be still and know that I Am God. Yes, the great I AM, and I am bringing you into a new place, a new level, if you will only trust Me in providing all your needs. Cast all your cares upon Me for I care for you. I am your provider. Do not look to your own strength in providing for yourself. Do your part by seeking, knocking, asking, and then look to Me to open the doors. Did I not say that I would provide all your needs for you? Then why do you doubt?

This is a new hour where I will pour out My power and grace upon you to strengthen you as you go through the fire of My purging love. Remain silent and watch what I will do in you and through you. Watch and pray and believe and trust in My faithfulness for I will provide for you all your needs and also will continue to give you the desires of your heart to go deeper in Me.

Look only to Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith. Do not waver in doubt and unbelief. I might be stretching you, but this is a needed work in preparing you for what is ahead. This is the end of all times. This is the hour of My power, but also the hour of the great falling away. So continue to be still and know that I am God and that I am faithful. Look to Me and waver not in doubt and unbelief. Cast all your cares upon Me and rest fully assured of My provision, My care, My oversight and protection.

Even though the bombs fly around you and even explode, you are safe in Me. Hide yourself underneath the shadow of My wing and draw close, My children, draw close!
