Live In My Embrace

3/28/21

Live in My embrace and come out of that cave. You have been ensnared by fear. Come out of that cave. I bring with Me freedom. Come out of that cave. You’ve been trapped, chained and in bondage. Come out of that cave. Stretch your arms and stretch your legs.
Live in My embrace.

You are not an accident. I knit you in your mother’s womb. I created you with purpose and design. Every part of you, from your physical attributes to your emotions to your intellect and your unique gifts and talents. I created you for Me.

Seek Me First

3/26/21

Seek me first and see how I will work out the burdens and problems you face.

See, these burdens are merely stepping stones to the high places I have established for you. The high places I have intended for you to exist in.

But first you must go through these burdens to be made complete. To be made whole. To be equipped to operate in the high places.

Don’t despair, my child. I have already placed in you what you need to be victorious.  

Step out. I’m not going to hurt you. I’m not going to let you fall. Look, see! I have given you hind’s feet. You will not trip or fall. I will hold you up. See, I have gone before you and prepared the way.

“For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:30

Beloved Daughter

March 7, 2021

Elizabeth, My daughter, I love you. My daughter, I love you so much. You are the Apple of My eye and My heart bleeds for you. Look into my eyes and see how much I adore you. Lay your head on My chest and listen to how My heart beats for you. Truly, I love you. It’s Yes and Amen for you. Ask what you will and watch. Watch Me give you the desires of your heart. Step into My embrace and rest.  

Daughter, I love you. I will touch your body and heal you. Yes, it is done. I will give you health, vitality, strength and long life. I love you.

Do not doubt the lengths I will go to bring you joy and gladness. It is not because of what you have done but simply because you are My daughter and beloved to me. I long to please you and fill your mouth with praise. Worship Me and rest in the knowledge that I lovingly care for you.  

Step forth in confidence because I will give you the land your feet tread upon. It’s yours. Claim it and enjoy it. Hold My hand for I give you victory. Victory over it all.  

There is no one else like you. I created you and knit you in your mother’s womb for My pleasure. You stand apart for I have made it so. Never apologize for My love and the way I bless you. Enjoy it. Be confident in it.  

Your Name is Always on My Lips

2/14/21

Beloved, your name is always on My lips.  Your name is written on My heart.  There is nowhere I will not go to search for you.  See.  Look in My hands.  I have your heart in My hands.  I hold your heart lovingly and tenderly.  There is nowhere that is safer than in My hands.

Truly you are Mine.  I have set a boundary around you.  I will never allow you to wander too far to the left or to the right.  My hand of protection follows you.  But see Me, for the path I have set before you is blessings and joy.  Ignore all other paths.  Do not even look in those directions.  Look only unto Me.  What I have for you is better and greater than anything else that may be presented to you.  Hold fast to my Word.  Hold fast to Me.

Even in your pain, darkness and turmoil, I set a banquet table for you.  Believe in your heart that I will take care of the burdens and worries.  Cast those at my feet and rejoice at my banquet table.  Do not let those burdens distract you from Me.  Come to My banquet table.

“Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest

    is my beloved among the young men.

I delight to sit in his shade,

    and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

Let him lead me to the banquet hall,

    and let his banner over me be love.

Strengthen me with raisins,

    refresh me with apples,

    for I am faint with love.”

Songs of Songs 2:3-5

The Lord is a Strong Tower

12/10/20

I hold you in my embrace.  Though you are flanked by worries and fears, I hold you in my embrace.  

I am a Tower, tall and strong.  I surround you with towers, walls and fences. You are fortified and protected. Only what I allow comes through. And I only allow what you can handle, but even then I fight the battles.  I hold you in My embrace with one arm and with my other hand, I hold my fiery sword.  With my right hand, I fight the battles and demolish the enemy.  

Stay in My embrace.  Even though the world may crumble, keep staring into my eyes.  Gaze at My countenance. That is where I want you, gazing at Me.  Keep your eyes on Me.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and is safe. Proverbs 18:10

River of Peace

12/2/20

I saw an image of a meandering river through a deep canyon.  The river looked serene and peaceful.  The sky was blue.  It was a beautiful image.  The impression I had was that the river is peaceful, but powerful enough to carve canyons.  There is strength in God’s peace.

Then I heard the Lord say, “I forge paths where there were none.  I go before you.  Stay at my side and follow me. I go before you and fight the battles.  Remember my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Armor of God

11/22/20

Put on the armor of God!  I am your helmet of salvation!  I am your breastplate!  I am your feet shod in salvation!  I am your peace!  Gird your loins with faith.  Fill your mouth with praise.  Lift your hands in thanksgiving.  Watch and see Me come in power!  Watch the Holy Spirit surround you and equip you!  Put on My armor!  It’s your lifeline and your protection.  The battle before you is great, but Greater am I than what you see before you.  Cover your eyes with faith and the truth of My word.  Put on My armor that you may not be dismayed nor your spirit faint.  I am always at work.  At work in your weaknesses to overcome fear.  I am your protector and your warrior. The enemy flees at the snap of My fingers nay at the whisper of My breath.  Sit at My feet and stay in My presence.  My protection is over you.  I am a strong tower. Run to Me!

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” Ephesians 6:10-18

Surrender

11/12/20

What I have for you is so much more than what you want.  Open your fist (as your fist was opened, I saw 100’s of white birds fly out from your palm).  What you desire is paltry and ashes compared to what I have for you.  What you want comes from the desires of your heart and what I have to give you comes from My glory.

Do not despair that I may ask you to surrender what you have held so dear and so tight.  Look!  Look!  It is of no worth.  The heart is deceptive.  It blinds your eyes.  Look beyond with a heart full of faith.

I saw a canyon full of treasures.  I saw you standing at the edge of the canyon looking down.  The canyon was full of a multitude of treasures all gleaming in the sunlight.
