                       I WILL LIFT YOU UP

Come before Me, My children, and rest in My presence for this is the day 
of salvation.  Yes, this is the day where I will pour out My glory upon 
you and teach you My ways in the midst of calamity all around you.  For 
these are perilous times for the enemy knows that his time is short, and 
his chief mission is to rob you of your peace and joy and love in Me.  
For yes, these are My fruits, and even so they are powerful weapons 
against the evil one.  These enable you to stand sure-footed no matter 
what the circumstances surrounding you.

Come, My children, and humble yourself before My throne of grace so that 
I may lift you up.  So many have allowed the enemy to rob you of your 
peace and joy, but I said that I have come to give you life and that 
abundantly.  Don't allow the enemy to rob you of My presence for I have 
all that you need in order to stand.  I have given you My life.  I have 
given you My armor.  Yes, My weapons of warfare are mighty, but you must 
worship Me.  You must come to Me often and rest in My presence.

Do not become discouraged if you do not hear My voice.  Just draw close 
to My side and rest.  Be still and know that I am God.  I will reward 
you if you diligently seek My face.  For I am God, and there is no other 
one like Me.  You can trust Me to take care of all your needs.  You can 
trust Me to speak to your heart and lead you and guide you into all 
truth.  For I have the fullness of grace and truth, and I am faithful to 
fill you to overflowing that you may bless My people.  I will encourage 
you.  I will comfort you and lead you by streams of living water.  I 
will feed you with fresh manna because you have been faithful not to 
leave Me through the fire....through the purgings of My love.

I have created you to be Mine.  I have ordained that you reap the 
abundance of My glory upon you.  Cast all your care upon Me.  Be anxious 
for nothing in all prayer and thanksgiving let your requests be known.  
And I will fill you with My perfect peace.  I will fill you with My joy 
and strengthen you. 

Draw near unto Me, and I will draw near to you.  Rest, be still, trust 
Me to complete My work in you for I am faithful.  I will heal you and 
prosper you and help you to stand always and to the end of time.  I have 
called you and redeemed you.  Now be all that I called you to be.  Shake 
off the shackles of fear and discouragement.  Rise up and be strong and 
let out a victory shout.  Sing and dance for you have won the battle.  
It is all in My hands. I am in total control of all things.  I am 
sovereign ruler of all.  The enemy is under your feet.  Now dance and 
sing and rejoice for the victory is Mine!!
