                The Winds Of This World

My people, you are walking against the winds of this world. There are 
times when you feel like giving up because the waves are so strong
as they blow against you. Know that as you walk against the winds 
of this world, you will be tempted to compromise. You will be
tempted to do what others are doing so you can overcome the winds. 
It might seem easy to turn and walk with the winds of this world. 
But don't do that. Instead, lean on Me and trust Me, and I will
help you. Yes, you will see the winds pick up, but walk with Me and 
do not fear, for I have overcome.

Remember, you are a holy people; you have been set apart as peculiar 
people, destined to triumph. Remember, My love, that I have overcome 
this world and these evil winds. So, do not be dismayed when the 
winds pick up; when you face unbelievable and incredible winds that 
nearly drop you to your knees. Do not give up and turn your body to 
face away from the wind. Continue on your course. 

Call on Me, for I am your shelter. I am your high tower, and your 
deliverer. I will take care of you. I may choose to calm the wind in 
an instant to give you relief. Or I may remove you completely and 
bring you to a place of calmness for a time. Or I may leave you where 
you are, but provide protection and safe harbor for you there, so 
that the winds do not prevail against you. But I will take care of you 
as you face those winds.

Trust Me, for I have overcome, and your destiny is set in Me.
