                             Confidence


Gain Confidence in me.  In the fact that I have sent you out.  That I am 
and remain your Father.  I am the one who has separated you and called you 
unto me.  You are not to place your confidence in men but in me.  I will 
set you into place, and I will heal the broken places in your heart.  I 
have commissioned you as a warrior, and I will send you and call you as I 
see fit into battle.  I am also the one who places you in the body where I
see fit.  Do not fear, for I am always with you.  In hard times and in good
times, see my hand at work in your life and always for you.

Trust me.  Trust me.  Trust me.  You can have confidence in me.  I am who I
say I am.  Read my Word, learn about me and my ways.  I never change.  I was
I am and I always will be.  You will not stumble and slip if your confidence 
is rightly placed in me.  And know this... that I who have begun a good work 
in you will be faithful to complete it!  You never need to fear that I will 
not be faithful.  I am a faithful father, even when you aren't faithful.

Place your confidence in me and not in your own flesh.  I alone am worthy of
your confidence and trust.  For I alone do not lie.  I alone and completely
true.  I alone am the way the truth and the light.  I am the way to the
Father.  I am the true vine.  Abide in me.  Live in my light.  Live in my
Secret Place for there you will finally be at home.

Gain confidence in me.  In my power.  In my anointing.  For I will not leave
you hanging.  I will never forsake you.  And I will never call you into a
battle that I am not beside you in.  Pick up the weapons of your warfare for
demolishing strongholds and pulling down principalities.  Put on your armor
and stand strong.  You share my authority.  I have given it to you.  This
day you can march forward, standing strong on the Word of the Lord.

Fully dressed, warriors of the light... move forward in authority.  I love
you.
