                        Brush Them Aside

I hear the whispering of many words -- words that have surrounded My 
servants, words that have been sent against My people to bring them to 
a place of confusion and despair.  Some have heard the words for so 
long that they have begun to believe them.

But I would say to you, this is the day to brush them aside as you would 
brush aside the buzzing of a mosquito in your ear!  For I have clothed 
you in armor.  I have given you a belt of truth around your waist.  I have 
placed the helmet of salvation upon your head.  I have given you the 
breastplate of righteousness to protect your heart.  I have shod your feet 
with the preparation of the gospel of peace.  I have given you the shield 
of faith to quench every fiery dart of the enemy, and I have given you the 
sword of the Spirit to go forth and smite the enemy.

No longer listen to the words that the enemy whispers in your ear but tune 
your ear to My Spirit and listen to the words that I would speak to you.
For My words are life and they are truth and they will bring you to a place 
of rest and peace in Me.  Brush aside those things that bring death to your 
soul. Rest in the truth, the truth that you are My child and that I will do 
all that I have said I will do.  Trust Me.  Turn your face once again toward 
Me, and I will indeed pick you up and set your feet back upon that path 
that the enemy has caused you to turn from.
