                 I Will Keep You Until the End

    "This is what God the Lord says-He who created the heavens and 
    stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and all that comes 
    out of it, Who gives breath to its people, and life to those who 
    walk on it: 'I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I 
    will take hold of your hand.  I will keep you and will make you
    to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles,
    to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and 
    to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.'"
	--Isaiah 42:5-7


I am with you, My children, as I have been and always will be. I am 
teaching you to trust Me and find Me faithful, for I will never fail
you. You need to know that I am trustworthy and believe it with all
your heart. 

Times are coming in which you will be tested and in which you will 
need to know that I am faithful and will not abandon you. I am refining
you in the fire so that you will not hesitate to follow Me when I call
you. And I will keep you, even as I am keeping you now. 

You will suffer no harm when you pass through the fire, for I, the 
Lord, will keep you. Do not be alarmed or dismayed, for I tell those 
whom I love beforehand of that which is to come and of My faithfulness 
to keep them. And they will bring Me great glory as they trust Me, and 
as I pour out My power and My glory in them and through them. 

Rest in Me, My people, for I will keep you, until the end."
