Follow me

I have given my life to you. Now give your life to me. Do my will in word in deed. Follow me and I will lead you. Come after me and I will take you to still waters where there is rest. It is my will to give you the kingdom. Abide in me and allow me to abide in you. It is as you abide in me that my will for your life will unfold. It is as you abide in me that your life will truly become fruitful. It is as you hear my voice and obey that great battles will be won in the spirit realm.

Do not trust and rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge me and I will make your ways prosperous. Do not attempt anything apart from me or my grace. If you do that you will surely fail. You have not been made to do anything in your own strength. Seek my face. Seek my presence. Draw your strength from me every moment of every day and you can not be anything else but be successful. Follow me in word and deed for this is the complete work that I require of you.

Do not be afraid of the future for I hold the future in my hand. Do not look to the left of to the right in terror for I alone keep you safe in this evil day and age. Rest in me. Rest in my promises for you. I will surely bring them to pass as you follow me. Do not look to the right or to the left only focus your eyes on me.

Let your yes be yes and your no be no. Anything more than this is from the evil one.

I love you. Abide in my love by doing all that I command you. I am your strength, your strong fortress, your deliverer. Stand fast on my promises. Do not be moved. Refuse to give in to pressure from the evil one. Do not give him his way.

I will make your ways prosperous. I will make you a strong pillar of my strength if you hold on to me with all your might. Surely I will not disappoint or fail you. Surely I will lead you and guide you. Surely I will be your success.
