I Will Not Fail
I am wondering why I am feeling so lost the last couple days. It seems that the heavens have gone silent and I’m fighting discouragement more than normal. Ok, it’s been raining a lot here, and I also pulled a muscle in my back; but, it’s more than that.
We all are engaged in a battle of faith. It is really a battle of two kingdoms–the kingdom of this world against the Kingdom of God. That, I believe is what I’m feeling more than anything.
And,in it all, I am sensing the Lord saying: “You have been spending so much energy and time thinking about so many issues not of My Kingdom. You have allowed the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and boastful pride of life be the focus of your attention. You have allowed the cares of the world to wear you down. You have allowed fear to enter your gates and doubt of My purpose for you to take away your joy.”
“This must not be so, My Child. For, I have called you to a different life. Now, more than ever, abandon the old. Abandon the former ways for they do not have any hold over you. Abandon the old thoughts for they do not provide any wisdom for the life I’ve called you into. Abandon every old pattern of behavior and belief. None of these will give you what you are looking for. Give it all over to Me. You do not need any of it any longer; for, you are Mine and I have given you My Kingdom. A Kingdom in which there is absolutely no lack.”
“You know all this. I’ve told you all this before. But, I AM reminding you because I have so much I want you to accomplish for Me in the days ahead. And, any distraction, any diversion from the path I’ve called you to, will slow you down.”
“Stay close to Me in the days ahead. You do not know the path; but, I do. And, I AM preparing a way that is glorious for you. A way that is prosperous, and wonderous in its beauty.”
“There will be attempts to hinder your progress; but, they are not from Me. Resist them. Press forward, and you will find new vision. Like one climbing a mountain path, suddenly coming upon a break in the forest; and, seeing the grand vista open before him, is renewed in strength and joy, so too will you suddenly be renewed.”
“Do not be discouraged. Do not fear. I AM with you and will countinue to pour out My Love and Provision in ways that will truly carry you forward. Trust Me in all things. Watch and see what I AM about to do for you, in you, and through you.”
“The days ahead are GLORIOUS. Trust Me, I will not fail you.”
