                    Stand Strong In Me

My plans for you are for good; they are for you to prosper and succeed 
in Me. Yes, you are at this time standing in the middle of the storm, but 
I am there with you. Things may not have turned out like you thought 
they would, but now you are finally in the place where I can manifest 
My divine order. I have set you on the path that is right for you. 

I assure you that you never have to doubt My love for You, for I am a 
God who delights in giving good gifts to His children. Look to Me and 
trust Me, for as you do, I will cause My goodness to pass before you. 
I am gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loyal love 
and faithfulness. 

This storm is only for a season, so allow My fire to go over you and 
purify you. I desire to consecrate you completely to Myself, and My 
holy fire is going over you; it is refining you and causing you to become 
the golden vessel that I intend you to be. I will demonstrate My 
faithfulness to you, even while you go through this process, even in
the midst of this storm. I want you to know that I have every intention 
of bringing you through it and into victory.

Remember, My path is not a path broad and well traveled and only a few 
are willing to travel it to the end. Many give up right before the 
breaking of the dawn, but I do not want you to be among those who give 
up. Keep on standing and moving forward in Me, despite what your 
circumstances look like. While you press on, I will open your eyes, and 
I will grant you greater understanding regarding My kingdom. My fire
will burn up the stubble, hindrances and blocks in your life, and My 
Spirit will flood into those areas and cause My divine order and 
presence to flow into them.

Once My refinement is accomplished in you, you will stand in the place 
where My kingdom manifests. You will stand in the place where My will
is done, in and through you, as it is in Heaven. So stand strong in Me 
and in My power, Knowing that you are not paying this price without 
reward and victory.
