                I Command You To Live!!!

Fire be upon you! Revived as the embers in a fire that seems to be gone out.  
I blow upon you and I renew your strength to go forth even now.  A fire that 
is covered will go out.  But a fire in My Hands is like the burning bush 
for Moses, it will speak of My presence and you will not be consumed.  For 
I am the vine and you are the branches.

Retreat into the secret place and I will speak My heart to you.  I will share 
those things that I desire for My people.  There's nothing that you can do or 
say that will change My love for you.  I have begun the good work in you and 
I will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.  Who or what can pluck you 
out of My hand?  

Fret not over the failed decisions you have made.  Rejoice in the follow 
through of My Swift Hand over your life and your ministry.  Your "Yes, Lord" 
to Me, is eternal in the heavens.  It is perpetually repeating in the 
corridors of heaven.  It shouts above the accuser of the brethren.  He 
brings dark clouds of confusion and doubt and fear that you can't do what I 
have chosen you to do, but My sonshine rises within you, the hope of glory 
and radiates, diminishing what the enemy says and the lies he has spoken
to you.  There is only light now, no lies. 

Receive only those words that I have spoken to you and about your destiny 
in Me.  Lift your shield of faith, that will repel the fiery darts that
aim for your soul.

You shall not die but live to declare the works of the Lord.  I command you 
to live!  I dwell within you and therefore stand fast in the liberty 
wherewith, I have made you free and don't be tangled again in that yoke of 
bondage.  I am with you always -- and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there 
is liberty and life!
