I am your river in the desert place. I am He who girds you with strength and makes your way perfect (Psalms 18:32). I am He who quenches your thirst and gives you all you need to endure to the very end (Isaiah 48:21). I am He who quenches your thirst and gives you all you need to endure to the very end (Isaiah 48:21). Though circumstances and situations may not change instantly or even quickly, I have given you everything you need to overcome. I the Overcomer live in you. What you feel, think or experience do not determine the validity of who you are in Me…of who I am in you.

Beloved, you are never separated from Me. In order for separation to happen, I would have to leave…to come and go depending on your actions or attitudes. I would have to be only a fair-weather friend. That would not be much to die for now would it? Where would your security be if I were only a fair-weather friend? How could I set you in a large place or be your strong tower (2 Samuel 22:20)? I am unchanging, immovable and invincible to the very end (Isaiah 41:4).

Listen to My voice. Hear it say, “My grace is sufficient for you this day and every day after. My favor and loving kindness…and My mercy are sufficient to enable you to stand against any opposition…even opposition from within your own thinking”. (2 Corinthians 12:9) So many times you focus on your weakness somehow thinking it surprises or dismays Me. Actually the way I think is quite contrary to such thinking. I think only on what is pure, lovely and upright.

In spite of all the prayers you have prayed and all the doings you have done, you still struggle to overcome. In spite of all My promises about prosperity in every area of your life, including the financial, you still wonder at times where I will get the resources to meet your emotional and physical needs.

What you do with and in the time given you is eternal and goes on forever. You could say the true nature of who you are and what you do is cloaked in the illusion of natural time. This illusion can tell you there will be no consequences for speaking words of death. This illusion can tell you there will be no long range eternal effects released when you speak as I tell you to in agreement with My Word. Whatever the enemy can tell you in relation to the value of your time and words in order to render you ineffective he will.

Beloved, beautiful one, help has come…help has arrived; therefore’ watch what you say. Do not nullify the victory by confessing negative words or thoughts. Do not listen to the distracting thoughts of the enemy. Do not let him form overshadowing clouds of doubt and unbelief in response to all I have

Time has come to live by Heaven’s economy and not the economy of the world around you. Things that look successful on the surface as far as the world is concerned can be found to be unclean, impure and without any lasting depth when looked at more closely with discerning spirits. Even the natural supplies of the earth itself can run out as has been evidenced in your time, while in Heaven there is always more than enough…more than you have begun to imagine. It all depends on the perspective from which you are viewing things.

Beloved, once you were part of the world and now you are a whole new race…a whole new being…a whole new creation( 2 Corinthians 5:17). You are not of this world but are a citizen of Heaven. Your true abode…your true home is Heaven. Don’t look for Me as somewhere out there afar off when I dwell in you. You contain the fullness of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and have been set apart for Me (Colossians 1:6 Amplified; Ephesians 2:19).

Know this, I do not drive you…I lead you…I bring you out by the one and only way, through and in Me. I have already gone before you to prepare a way…to prepare a place meant just for you…suited just for you. Do not be compelled to follow the law for it is a hard taskmaster and will drive you to perform. Follow Me…follow grace and you will fulfill all in love.

Beloved, you have been crucified with Me and are now hidden in Me. What does hidden mean? Hidden means to be deliberately concealed. Concealed means to be kept secret or out of sight…to be prevented from being found…to be covered, cloaked, or veiled. This means you are concealed by Me…cloaked by Me…covered by Me in a deliberate, purposeful, calculated and premeditated way. Your concealment was not by chance nor is it subject to removal.
