                    My Tower of Strength

Behold the Lamb who took your sins away is standing by. I will become a 
roaring lion to protect My children. You need not fear the works of the 
enemy. I have already proclaimed to you that there will be wars and rumors 
of war. But just as the Hebrew children's livestock was protected when 
the Egyptian's livestock was destroyed, so I will protect and make a 
distinction on My own children. For you were bought with a price. 

Do not think that now it makes no difference for I have always protected My 
own. The price I paid was not in vain, My child. I gladly paid it for you. 
Just put your faith and trust in Me. You MUST NOT fear for that releases 
spirits that go about and cause distrust and dissension in My Kingdom. Fear 
breeds more fear. But child, you have been put in the forefront to be the 
example to others. You will be used to calm the fears of your brethren. 
For I see in you My tower of strength. You do not see it but the trials you 
have been through have produced an endurance in you that even the gates 
of hell cannot prevail against. Stand strong in Me, My precious child, My
tower of strength. Surely I will use you. Yes, surely I will use you.
