I am near, I am here.
Do not loose heart, but believe with your whole heart.
I desire a childlike faith of a child joyfully awaiting his father. I am not like any father you have ever known. I am good. I am faithful. I am generous. I am loving. I am compassionate. I am steady. I am ever present. I keep my promises; they are yes and amen.
I will lift you up. Stand up and get out of the mire. They are like tentacles that will not let go. Take up the Sword of the Spirit and be done with them. I have given you all authority. Say the words and you will be free.
Come and bring your bleeding heart to me. I will give you a new heart, strong and whole. I do not desire for you to limp around in this world, but to walk boldly nay, to run and fly.
Take it. Grab hold and claim it as your own. I have given you territory beyond what the eye can see. Step into it and live there.
My Kingdom has no bounds and is no respecter of person. I go where I please when I please. I have chosen you to be about my business, my Kingdom business.
Come now, hold my hand. Though your legs are weary, I will give you strength. Lean on me and I will make you strong.
Ssshhh, do you hear me? I am coming in boldness and strength. I am coming as a victor in power. I am your King and I am coming in the fullness of glory.
Lay your pain at my feet. I will replace it with jubilant joy and rejoicing. Ever let there be praise in your mouth. Your tongue will taste sweetness and goodness all the days of your life.
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.”
Psalms 34:8-10 NKJV
