                 I Will Breathe New Life into Your Vision

My dear precious Child, I know that you are weary and I know that you feel
like there is no more strength or faith left in you right now to believe
again in the words and the vision I spoke to you so long ago. I know that
you have seen many false starts and then you saw what little that seemed
to get built fly away before your disappointed eyes. You have become
discouraged and despondent and now you sit too weak to stand up again even
one more time. But even now in your weakness and your inability you will
see that I am able to breathe new life into the vision that I have given
you, and that there is nothing you can do in your own strength to ever
create or build what I have called you to do in this world. I am the Vine.
You will see and believe that all your strength and all your ability comes
only from My strength and My ability.

Even as Joseph lay in the dark prison after so long, you too have waited
in your time of loneliness and isolation, and you have said "what's the
use in all this?, it always just comes to nothing". But I would tell you
this day that I have wrought a death in you so that My new life can be
breathed into you. And even as Joseph finally gave up his striving and
surrendered to My sovereignty, now you too have come to the end of your
striving and plans. Now you will see that like Joseph, My power and words
can also take you from the prison to the palace in just a day. I would call
you this day to trust in who I am, and in My heart of love for you. I am
the same God that sought you out and saved you. I am the same God that
filled you with My Spirit and set you before My people to minister My
words to them. I am the same God who has never left your side, not even for
a second during this long period of purification and transformation.

I have pruned you down to the roots, so that I could heal you at the root
level. I needed every area of your heart and life examined and exposed so
that there would be no area or place of weakness that the enemy could
exploit once I began to move you forward in greater power and anointing.
Even as Joseph trusted in who I am, I want you to trust in who I am as
well, and that I am able to bring new life into that which seems as though
it is utterly dead. Do not look at the desolation of what was lost, but
rather look at all I have changed and healed in you without all the normal
distractions of life that hinder good growth. Look at the stability of
character you now have, and look at My heart that has been fully formed
in you. Even now My breath is blowing and what you thought was dead will
indeed be blown back into life. Even now, new rains of My Spirit are
beginning to fall upon the dry ground you thought was too far gone to ever
bear fruit again. You are My secret weapon hidden for this day and for this
hour to destroy the works of the enemy. My precious child, trust in who I
am and that I am able to breathe new life into all that I have spoken to
and promised you so long ago.
