                        Rise Up In Me
   
Arise, My child, and listen quietly to Me.  Sit still and know that I will 
do exactly what I came to do.  Know that not one thing that have brought  
forth in your life is to hurt you, but to prosper you.  I am doing great 
things right now, and everything that I have before you is so that you may 
grow in your faith.  Trust Me in that, for I am requiring great faith from 
My loved ones.  That type of faith can only can be produced through waiting 
and being persistent.  So be persistent in My word and in prayer.  

Know that I will send people in your life to help you, not to hurt you.  
Those people in your life who suck the marrow out of you are not from Me. 
If they are draining, then love them, but keep them at arm's length.  

It is important to Me that you learn to trust and believe Me.  Believe that
I will perform what I have said.  I want you to continue to rise up and 
conquer the issues in your life that the enemy tries to bring you down 
with.  Let My peace be in you, and continue to have a positive attitude 
no matter what situation you find yourself in.  Look for My glory in 
everything.  

Apply yourself; do your best in all things that I set before you.  I desire 
for My children to be an example for Me, to show forth My glory in their 
everyday lives.  Yes, I could do great signs and wonders; I could send down 
fire from Heaven. But the greatest sign I give to those who do not know Me 
is the lives of those who do know Me.  That is why it is important to Me 
that you learn to stand and walk in faith, trusting that I will keep My word 
to you and that I am Who I claim to be: the Lord God Almighty.
