                   A Message For The New Year


Dear one, I am the alpha and the omega, and I exist in all times at
once. I have seen you and I know all that will transpire in your life
from the time that you were born until the day that you die. I have
already seen every choice that you will make. I have heard all that 
you will say and I know all that you will do. I know the good and
the bad. I know your stands of faith, your acts of obedience, and I 
also know every failure you will make. And knowing all of this, I 
have a great love for you and nothing can separate you from My love. 
Yes, dear one, you are completely and totally known--and you are loved. 

The enemy of your soul would tell you lies to condemn you, to make
you feel small and to make you that that you have somehow disqualified 
yourself from My love. He does this to torment you and to keep you
from walking out the fullness of your destiny. But he is a liar and
the truth is not in him. Do not listen to the things that he whispers
in your ear. He does this in hopes that he can cause you to distance 
yourself from Me. 

Instead, draw close and believe Me when I tell you that you are 
completely and totally know and loved. Do not start this new year 
under the shackles of the enemy's lies and condemnation. Instead let 
it be a year of liberty and breakthrough for you. Know that My desire 
for you is that you walk in liberty and in victory, and in deep
intimacy with Me.

Today is a day that, in the thinking of man, signifies a new start.
Dear one, let us make this day a new start in your thinking as well,
that you might draw closer to Me without hesitation, knowing that
I will not reject you or push you away. Come to Me with an expectation
that I will include you in My plans, that I will release My power and
My anointing into your life, and that I will bring breakthrough and
victory into your situation.

Let us walk together this year in the light of My great love for you. 
Put aside the things that hold you back and step into My victory--for 
I have ordained you to be an overcoming one.
