                       A Solid Foundation 

Be still and know that I am God, and there is no other. Listen to My 
heartbeat. I have called you. Look not to what man would call you but 
what I have called you. It matters not if others do not recognize your 
calling. They will in My appointed time. I have kept you hidden for your 
training, so you would not be marred by too early an exposure into an 
unbelieving people, who would have crushed you as a tender young shoot. 
It was for My good pleasure that I have sheltered you and brought you 
into a place, a solid foundation in My Word, My principles, My Ways, so 
that you will not be blown this way and that by every errant doctrine, 
because you have been established in My doctrine and you recognize the 
false. Now you have a far greater power of discernment, to be able to 
immediately spot that which is "off". And this pleases Me that you have 
not asked for wealth or treasure, but like My servant Solomon you have 
asked for wisdom and understanding to rule wisely, to shepherd My 
People. 

This day I sharpen the gift of discerning of spirits My Child, I breathe 
new clarity into it, I quicken it in your spirit. No longer shall you 
vaguely recognize the presence of evil but you shall KNOW beyond a shadow 
of a doubt what spirit you are dealing with, and furthermore the 
strategies for dealing with them expediently. Your authority comes from 
the Throne of God. Let no man rob you of that.  

Stand strong in grace, let no usurper wrestle dominion from you. This is 
a test you must not FAIL! I have placed you and positioned you in spite 
of your own self doubts and feelings of unworthiness. Not because of 
what you could do but because of what you would allow Me to do through 
you.
