Remember, all is done not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit. Everything begins with a thought in the mind. This is why I have told you to take thoughts captive and to think on what is pure, upright and lovely (Philippians 4:8).

I am your defender and contend with those who contend with you. You are a loved overcomer, therefore, direct all your energies toward the destruction of the true enemy. Clothe yourself in the armor I have provided. Array yourself in the garments of purple and fine linen I have already given you. See yourself seated in heavenly places with…

Beloved, it is your time and you must come into a whole new way of seeing things. Come up here where I am and see from My perspective. Don’t be afraid or feel inadequate in any way.

Your soft heart full of compassion and genuine care for others is very pleasing to my eyes. I can’t help smiling at the very thought you have for the needy, the lonely, the broken. Yes, you love and long for restoration of all things in the lives of the downcast. This is My heart and yours as well (Isaiah 61).

The hard ground of your heart left behind by words and actions perpetrated by men who damaged trust and love has been healed in many ways.
