                          Trust Enables You

Child of Mine, I want you to learn to trust Me. That will enable you to
step out in faith to obey the things that I command you to do. That will
empower you to walk in your destiny.

Trust Me to take care of you. Have I not promised in My word that I will
provide all of your needs? Do you think that I would lie to you about
something like that? Of course not! It would go against My very nature
to lie! Haven't you read in My word that I am a loving Father who loves
to give good gifts to His dear children.  How could you even imagine
that such a Father could abandon you or not take care of your needs?

Child, I want you to trust that I am both willing and able to take care
of you. I will provide for all of your needs.

Trust that I know what I was doing when told you about the destiny that
I created you for.  Trust Me that when I tell you that things will work
out well for you, then they will--no matter how bleak circumstances may
look. Remember how I told Joseph of his destiny in a series of dreams?
No one believed what I said about him, not even his own father. His
brothers were moved with jealousy and hatred, and they sold him into
slavery. Even though he was treated unfairly, that did not change the
destiny that I had prepared for him.  Things looked very destitute to
Joseph when he was thrown into prison by the lie of his master's wife.
But I say unto you, dire circumstances could not keep Joseph from his
destiny, and they cannot keep you from yours.

Child of Mine, I want you to believe the promises I have made to you,
for I will surely keep them. I want you to believe in the destiny that I
have called you to, for I will surely accomplish it in your life. Trust
that I have a  good purpose for your life and that I will prepare you for
it. I will equip you and I will empower you when I send you out to walk
in it. Child of Mine, I am a trustworthy God.

You tell Me that you already know how trustworthy I am. You even recite
it back to Me in your worship songs.  But child, I want you to live it
out!

I want you to allow My supernatural peace to surround you when the world
all around you is chaos and turmoil. I want you to obey Me when I tell you
to do something. Don't argue with Me that you are not qualified. I already
know all about you, and I am the One who decides whether or not you are
qualified. So child of Mine, trust My decisions regarding you and trust
the instructions that I give to you--they are for your good and for your
peace and your joy. Trust that I want you to be happy and that I am able
to accomplish this in your life.

Child of Mine, trust Me enough to obey Me and do what I tell you to do.
That will enable you to step out in faith. Then you will see the miracles
happen and you will see the mountains move. You will seem Me glorify My
name through you, and you will step into the full measure of the destiny
that I have prepared for you.  So trust Me, child of Mine, trust Me!
