             You Will Rise Like The Noonday Sun


Child, I have seen you in your distress. I have seen you in your 
nakedness and despair of your soul. You lie down in defeat and 
woundedness of the heart. I see your wound; the dagger that is lodged 
in your heart. I see all your pain in this trial--but I also see your 
destiny.

I am the Lord your God and it is I that have summoned you. I chose 
you and I delight in you. I have clothed you in white, and in My 
righteousness. You can not come by it on your own, but only by My 
blood.  Yes, it was My bloodshed that made you clean, and it is by 
My hand of righteousness that I now uphold you in this trial.

You will rise like the noonday sun, and I will cause all to come into
alignment with My kingdom plan. You will stand in My glory and My 
honor. I am pure and without sin; and I am clean and free from guilt.

I will wash over you by My Spirit in purification and newness of life. 
I will restore the years the locusts have eaten and bring you into 
your freedom. Yes dear one, do not despair that I have forsaken you 
in your day of trial. As I have said in My word, you will come into 
your time of difficulties, but you must remain cheerful in Me because 
I have already overcome the world.

Am I not the maker of the heavens and the earth? As I breathed new 
life into being, so will I breathe new life into the despair of your 
soul. Look up to the heavens in anticipation and expectation of Me. I 
will surely meet you. Yes, you will rise in Me for I have already 
written the beginning to the end. 

I am the Alpha and the Omega. I will turn your days into rejoicing. I 
will draw you nearer to Me, and you will commune with Me in an increase 
of love and purity. This will be at a much greater level than you did 
before. You will hear My voice and know that it is I that speaks to 
you. I will give onto you My wisdom and understanding. You will have 
a discerning heart and you will know the hope to which I have called 
you. You will see Me in depth and clarity, and your heart will leap 
for joy in it.
