                        Follow Me



Do not be afraid, I am with you each step of the way. You will encounter many 
trials and struggles with the enemy.  But I am with you and I will guide you 
around or through, every trial and fiery attack,  that the enemy may throw at 
you. Do not trust in your own strength or wisdom. Many things are not what 
they appear. I desire to lead you around every trap and snare of the enemy. 
If you find yourself in a pit, know that it was of your own doing. Please 
reach out to Me and I will lift you up and put you right back on the path. 
Please do not stay there  suffering and feeling sorry for yourself. Reach out 
to Me,  I will lift you up and restore you. 

Do not trust in your own abilities. The enemy of your soul is counting on 
you being confident in overcoming in the flesh. This is why you continue 
to struggle and fall.  Allow Me to draw near to you.  I will guide you in 
the exact way that I desire for you to follow. Then you will be drawing on 
My strength and power, the enemy will be harmless to you. But if you continue 
to follow your own will and desires, the enemy will torment you without 
measure. 

I desire to give you peace and life more abundantly. But you have reached the 
fork in the road, where your heart's desire must become My heart's desire 
for you. The path will get steep and rocky, but I am with you each step of 
the way.  Do not wander off and follow the ways of your choosing. This is 
the time to stay close to Me and be an overcomer of the trials and struggles 
of life. It is not the time to be deceived by the enemy ......in trusting in 
your own strength and talents. If you do, know this........you experience 
much pain and turmoil. But you will always see Me waiting patiently to direct 
you as I desire.  Do not fear or worry, but make things much easier on 
yourself. Follow Me!  Do not follow the fleshly desires of your own heart.
