Good morning,
Yes, you have braved many battles, fought many wars, and come forth victorious by My mercy and grace. For I have given you beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Why, so that you might be called trees of righteousness planted deep in My word, fully rooted, immovable by the circumstances and the sway of the world, and the winds of change and the slight cunningness of the enemy that comes to try to dislodge you to cause you to be removed from the place that I planted you in. But you have remained faithful to My Word, always going back to My promises. This is what I have for you, the Few, the Proud, the ones that stay steady on the course, the ones that remain faithful, the ones that keep My Word uppermost in their hearts, and minds. Every time that the enemy tries to come and steal a promise or steal My Word from you, you go back to My Word, and renew again, the hope and promises that I have given you so that you might remain faithful and steady, regardless of the things that are going on around about you. For this is My people, a people that have been purged through the fires of life that comes forth as pure gold. They will go through but they come out victorious every time. This is My people, says the Spirit. They are not afraid of the challenges that the enemy will try to bring against them. They stay faithful and steady in My Word. This is My people, a faithful people that will not be altered by circumstances or situations. Instead, they face them right on knowing that I, their Father will see to it that in everything that they do, they will remain and be victorious in every circumstance and every situation. This is My people, a people that have become hard to the ways of the world but pliable in My hand. This is My people, says the Lord, the ones that will not be removed and will remain when I come I will find faith in this world and it will be these people who have remained steady, faithful, and trustworthy. Always looking to My word as their final answer. This is My people.
“Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.” (Psalm 101:6)
“The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].” (John 10:10)
“For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.” (2 Corinthians 4:17-18)
