                              Faith

The battle rages and what appears as failure is just that, appearance! 
Always remember appearance is deceiving, many things are not as they 
seem.  Never battle evil with evil, that only feeds it. Defeat it with 
good and use My love, it never fails.

My call to you is faith. If you could see as I see, you would have no 
need for faith. Trust Me as I part your own Red Sea. Good for evil is 
My call for you. Set your sight on Me, immerse yourself in My Word, 
walk in confidence for I am with you each step of the way. I shall 
never leave you nor forsake you. I called you before you were born, I 
have protected you and kept you safe at each turn. I have guided you 
and kept you close; you are precious to Me. 

I hear your cries and I will answer you. Be still and wait on My time, 
for in My time no sorrow will be a part of your miracle, only My joy, 
My peace, My rejoicing. I will increase My Holy Spirit in you, your 
anointing will deepen and your love increase. 

Walk without fear, evil has been defeated no matter how it appears. My 
answer to you this day is faith. Rejoice in your wait, for each day you 
are restored a little more and soon all that was taken shall be returned 
in great measure.
