                                Stand

Why are My people acting as if they are defeated? Do they not know 
that I am the God of all creation? Do they not know that I am the 
maker of heaven and earth? Do that not know that with a word from Me 
all things may change?

My children, look to Me for I am the author and the finisher of your 
faith. I AM the great I AM. I have promised to fulfill all your needs 
according to My riches and glory. You have heard Me tell  you that it 
is coming. Your release from this storm is coming. Children, it IS 
coming. Do not give up hope now. Do not give up right before your 
breakthrough. The enemy wants to come and steal your faith, but I say 
to you let your faith arise. Stand on My word. Confess My word. The 
more you confess My word the stronger your faith becomes. Ask Me to 
help your unbelief. Am I so cruel that I would give a stone when you 
asked for bread? No, you then though you are evil would not do that 
to your children. Why do you believe that I would do that to you whom 
I sent My Son to die for?

The battle continues to rage and what I ask of you, My children is to 
stand on My word. Stand firm with the belt of Truth buckled around 
your waist. My word is Truth. My Truth sets you free. I am the Truth. 
I am the Way. I am the Life. Your freedom is found in following My 
way. Stand firm. Stand tall. Use the authority that I have given you 
in Jesus name. Use it and release My power and authority into the 
earth. The day is coming. Your storm is ending. And great will be 
your reward, you who have withstood the testing of the raging fire. I 
have purified you. I have cleansed you. And the day is coming when 
all will know that you are a vessel of honor. You are a vessel to be 
used for noble purposes. Come, lift up your eyes to the heavens. Look 
to My face and not to the circumstances around you. Look to Me, for 
peace and joy are found in one place - My face.
