                     Faith And Confidence

Child of Mine, I know that you have faith in Me, but did you also know 
that I also have faith in you? 

I have every confidence than you can stand firm in the face of those
temptations that used to beset you. That is because My Holy Spirit has 
been at work in you to change and transform you, so that you might have 
victory over things that used to beset you.

I know that you can accomplish all that I have asked you to do, even
if the request seems overwhelming to you. That is because I have spoken
My truth into your spirit and you can do all things through Christ Who 
strengthens you, as per Philippians 4:13. That is right, little one. I
have given you everything that you need to fulfill your destiny. That is
why I have faith in you-- faith that you will rise up to the challenges 
that face you, faith that you will latch on to the provision that I have 
already made for you, and faith that you will succeed in all that I ask 
you to do.

You are not an accident, you were carefully planned and chosen. You are
an amazing person, because I have made you that way. Yes, My indwelling
Spirit has been at work in you to refine you and to transform you. He
has been breaking off all of the enemy corruptions, contaminations and 
deceptions that have held you back. My Spirit is releasing you to be 
precisely the person who I have designed you to be: strong, bold, 
faithful and able to do all things in My strength and in My anointing. 

Do not allow yourself held back by the lies of the enemy any more. 
Embrace who I have created you to be. Embrace the calling and destiny 
that I have put on your life. Then rise up in My power and go accomplish 
all that I have given you to do. 

As you go, remember this: Child of Mine, you do not go alone or in
your own strength. I go with you and I empower you. You will succeed. 
I have confidence in you.
