                 Secret Place Of Victory

My child, I have not called you to put your eyes on yourself, but on Me: 
the author, finisher and source of all you need. I have not called you 
to walk with Me in your own strength, but in Mine.

You have been crucified with Me, and the life you now live you live 
by faith and dependence on My finished work on the cross.

You left everything that kept you bound at the cross and you have been 
raised in a new life with Me. You are My righteousness and you are My 
new creation. You were resurrected in Me. You have what the Father has 
in Me. Nothing less. You lack nothing, just as I lack nothing, because 
you are in Me. As I am, so are you in this world.

Keep your eyes on Me, for I am your salvation forever, and the work is 
finished and perfect forever. When I died, I gave you ALL of My Father.
My blood has life and it paid for you to be free. Walk in your freedom, 
by constantly considering that My blood was shed so you can live in ALL 
My fullness. The moment you looked away from  yourself and fixed your 
eyes on Me with a heart of faith in My Blood that was shed for you, you 
became the Father's beloved child.

Receive My free gracious gift of love. You can't earn this gift, but you 
can honor Me by receiving it daily. Receive My mercy that is new every 
morning. I love you so much, My beloved, and I will keep you secure in 
My covenant forever!

I died for you, not because you loved Me, but because I loved you. 
Nothing you do--good or bad--can keep you away from My mercy and grace. 
Declare Me as your Savior daily through faith, and My grace will keep, 
deliver and lead you.

I am the Good Shepherd; let Me feed, guide and shield you. Accept that I 
see you without blemish regardless of your works, because of the work 
that I did on the cross.  

Don't let Satan condemn you. There is no condemnation for those who are 
in Me! Hold on to My love. It is not impossible for anything--good or 
bad--to separate you from My love when you put your faith in My love 
for you.

Remind yourself daily of My love for you as well as My grace and mercy.
Know the place I prepared for you to receive all of this is through My 
death and resurrection. Remind yourself daily and you will be untouchable 
in the Secret Place with Me.
