                Run the Race With Patience

Run the race with patience and I will fulfil every promise.

The road to riches is wide.  The road to eternity is narrow with few 
distractions.  So keep your face set like flint, with eyes on the mark 
of the prize.  I know your every weakness; I know how to keep you.
Many things in your life have been on hold because I have been teaching 
you. I have been growing you up so you will know how to proceed with the 
blessing I Am about to give you.  I will cause you to move in a new realm 
of the prophetic.  My words will shatter the chains that the enemy has 
placed on MY people.  

You have been strategically placed in the body of Christ, so don't change 
your position without permission.  I need soldiers who obey orders and can 
endure hardness.  Be careful of the company you keep.  Remember, blessed is 
the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the 
way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 

Beloved, your life is a testimony of My love and faithfulness.  Continue to 
seek Me with your whole heart.  Don't look enviously at what I've given 
others, but keep your eyes focused on Me.  I Am giving you keener 
discernment -- use it lovingly and use it wisely.  Pray about what you 
see and don't be tempted to speak what you discern unless I tell you too.

You are the apple of My eye, clothed in My majesty. Give ear to what I say 
to you this day, My people.  Listen and ponder.  Listen and respond to the 
word of the Lord.  Listen and fight the good fight of faith.
