                                Fear Not

Be strong and courageous My child, and take comfort in knowing that 
I am your rearguard, and have your back covered. Pay no attention to 
the taunting heckles, and boasting from the spirit of fear with its 
venomous words. Do not lose sleep from its deceiving whispers of 
manipulation, as it tries to trip you up and cause you to stray from 
the race set before you. For I am calling you to be of a different 
spirit as My servant Caleb was, and to look down upon the giants of 
the land you are to possess.

Simply believe the message you have heard, for I am revealing My arm 
to you, and with it you will find the strength you need to stand and
overcome. For the words that have been spoken over you by the laying 
on of hands, and by the Spirit of the Lord are yes and amen in Christ
Jesus. These words will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish 
what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent them.

My child, choose to stand in the measure of faith that I have
given you. You may tremble on the inside and your knees may feel 
weak,  but simply remain standing, and I will not fail you. In 
other words: when the boat starts rocking because of the rough seas, 
do not be afraid. Or, even in your fear, take a step out onto the 
waters and watch the storm be silenced. For if you keep your eyes 
fixed on Jesus--the author and finisher of your faith--you will not 
sink into life's dark waters.

Take heart beloved, for I have not walked out and abandoned you in 
your present situation. But I am in the process of completing the 
good work which I started in you, and moving you forward into your 
destiny.
