                    Do Not Fear

Do not fear, My children, for I will tell you a truth: there is one 
who goes about roaring like a lion, but he is without power to harm My 
children. He has released a giant upon the world...the spirit of fear.
Yet I tell you, My Spirit is greater. I have always had those who would 
face the giants with Me at their side. I have always caused those who 
would face the giants of their lives and times to conquer them--not 
with the weapons of mankind and not in their own strength, but with 
the weapons and enabling power of My Spirit. 

Search the Scriptures, for you will find that all battles and victories 
begin and end in Me. You say, "How can that be? I thought You were a 
good God." I would say My goodness and love will not allow you to rest 
in a life of defeat and mediocrity. For you have been born to greatness,
just as David was, just as Gabriel, Abraham, Issac, Jacob and so many 
more. Each of them was told by people and circumstances that they 
were one thing, but in fact they were another. What they found out 
is that I--their Creator--had created them for greatness and a destiny 
that not just affected them and their family, but history and mankind 
as a whole. 

Oh My children, I smile when I look at where you will end up through 
the new creation in My Son, Jesus Christ. He is the Messiah and the 
Lamb that I have provided. Know and understand that when the lamb was 
brought before the priest for the remission of sins, it was the lamb 
that was inspected and either accepted or rejected. I tell you now--
The Lamb, My Son, has been accepted. Likewise, you are sinless in My 
eyes through Him. It is not by your works, for you can never be 
righteous in your own doing. This is why I sent My Son and this is 
why He was willing.

Know and understand that the Father, Son and Spirit love you that
much. We work together as one to maintain a steady working of My 
grace on what I have already see as done and finished. Look and see! 
Lift up your head and your eyes toward Me, for I am ready to unveil 
your eyes to see the face of love that is looking towards you, for 
there is a greatness that you have yet to know. Know and understand; 
it will come to pass if you will only believe and have faith that I 
have already accomplished all that is necessary. Yes, it is finished! 
Be blessed, My children, for I now call forth that greatness to 
tread on serpents, scorpions and all the power of the enemy of your 
soul and destiny!
