               Your Destiny Is Secure In Me        

Child of Mine, I love you dearly and I have loved you with an everlasting
love. There is no power that can separate you from My love, nor can it
remove My grace from operating in your life.  There is not a power in the 
universe that is strong enough to invalidate what My Son has accomplished 
for you on Calvary.

Because of that, I do not disqualify you when you fall short. I will 
convict you and I will work to transform you from within.  If necessary, 
I will chastise you to get you to repent and turn again to the right path. 
But I do not throw away the destiny that I have chosen for you, nor do I 
revoke the call that I have placed on your life.  Your destiny is secure 
in Me. I am not looking for an excuse to disqualify you.  No, child, that 
is not My way!  

There is another who's way it is--your enemy the devil. If you listen to 
his voice, he will get you to disqualify yourself for a season, that you 
do not fulfill the calling that I have placed upon you. It is his desire
to get you to give up and to stop fighting the battles that I have placed
in your hand.  He wants you to walk in defeat, but I want you to walk in
victory.

Child, do you think I have poor judgment? Do you think I am unaware of 
all that is going in your heart and in your life?  Don't you realize that
I know your weaknesses as well as your strengths.  Does it surprise you
that I have placed a destiny upon you and that I am willing to release 
kingdom resources to you to accomplish My purposes?  Your enemy is a liar 
and the father of lies. He would tell you that I don't know what I am doing, 
that I made a mistake in choosing you.  Child, I don't make mistakes, and 
yes, I have indeed chosen you.  So do not give up hope and do not be 
dismayed.  Do not listen to the lies of the devil and do not disqualify 
yourself when I have not disqualified you.

Know that I am all powerful and I am able to accomplish My purposes in 
your life.  I want you to choose to accept My good plans for you, and to 
believe that I did indeed know what I was doing when I selected you for 
them. Trust My truth more than you trust the accusations of your enemy,
the devil.  Allow Me to define you and to empower you.  Allow Me to give
you victory over those areas in your life where you struggle. Allow Me
to give you My sufficiency to overcome all of your shortcomings.  Allow Me 
to lead you; submit to My will as best as you are able. Any time that you 
realize you have fallen short, then run back to Me and receive My grace 
and My cleansing.  

Embrace the destiny that I have chosen for you and do not allow the devil
to talk you into disqualifying yourself from it.  Run to Me and allow Me
to clothe you in My grace.  Put your faith in Me and believe the things
that I have spoken over you.  Yes child, it is true that you are not 
sufficient or capable on your own.  But child, you are not on your own and
you were never intended to be. My Spirit Who lives within you will help
you, He will empower you and He will anoint you and He will thrust you
into the place of My victory.  I will cause you to walk in the fullness
of your destiny if you only look to Me and purpose in your heart what I 
tell you to do.

Child, rise up and walk in the full measure of your destiny in Me.
