                   You Shall Overcome

Child of Mine, don't you know that you have been destined to overcome the
enemy of your soul?  You will prevail against him no matter what he may
bring against you.  He will not be able to defeat you or to destroy you. I
can say this with confidence because I reside in all times at once and I
have already seen how your story ends.  I see your past and I see your
future.  Child, you have already won, you have already overcome--you just
don't know it yet because you are bound by time. It unfolds for you day
by day, but I can see it all at once. And when I look at you, I see one who
has defeated the enemy of your soul; I see a victorious and over coming one.

Child, you are going to win because a great authority has been given to
you.  This is the authority that My Son won when He died on Calvary and
rose from the grave, forever breaking the power of sin and death.  This
is the same authority that He gained when He defeated the devil.  He has
placed that authority in you, and it works even when you don't feel very
confident in it.  It cannot fail, because it is not about you, it is about
My Son and what He has already accomplished. This authority is yours because
you are His.

I have given you the victory. You enemy of your soul is already defeated.
He already knows he has lost, but he is a liar and a deceiver, and he wants
to convince you that he is mightier than you are.  He is trying to nullify
the authority that My Son has given you. He wants to scare you and to
confuse you with his lies. The only power that he has over you is the power
that you give him.  Don't allow the enemy of your souls to deceive you in
this, for I have destined you to be an overcomer and a victorious one.

Child of Mine, I have already given you the victory, just as I had already
given Israel the promised land before they left Egypt. Even thought they
did not physically possess it at that instant, it was theirs and nothing
could keep them from it.  I have given you the victory in the same why
that I gave them the promised land. It is yours and no one can keep it
from you.  Yes, at times you will have to endure hardship and frustration.
At times you will have to fight battles, but I will fight with you--I will
be your strength and your support. I know how the game will end, and child
of Mine, we make a winning team.

Yes, it is yours.  The night you are in right now might look very dark to
you.  You may feel weak and inadequate.  You might not have all the
resources you need at your finger tips, and you might not feel very brave.
None of that matters.  I have ordained you for victory, and I will cause
you to walk in it.  I fight with you and I will make you prevail.  Remember,
I have already given you all of the authority that you need.  I have
already seen how your story ends and I know what all must be done to get
you to that place of victory.

Child of Mine, you shall overcome for I am with you.
