Good morning,
My coming is imminent; our covenant is awakening you to your identity in this present darkness. My children have been in a stage of preparation; it has been a time of finishing all that I have started in you. Within you, all that I Am is waiting for your mouth to line up and speak with power into all of the areas in your own heart. I have been raising you as a part of the remnant. You are My workmanship, My precious ones. Rise and shine now to the authority that I have called you to walk in over your life and those around you. Speak life into your territory, your family, and assignment. I Am here from the heavenlies declaring who you are, and I need you to say so on earth. Do not lose yourself in the many cares of this season. We have been destroying cycles of resistance, and you are coming into a place of restoration and replenishment. Every season is shifting; some will receive renewed vision, others will gain greater insight and awareness, still others will see favor over areas that looked as if they would never change. Your time of crushing is about to shift to a time of scattering the wisdom you received during the time of testing. You know that I use everything for good, and nothing is ever wasted. These are not flowery words of encouragement, but strong words that will hold as you cross the boundary lines that were set as you were being tried. There have been times, and I know them, that you encouraged yourself. Times you could not tell your closest confidante what the enemy was stirring up in your life. In your weakest moments where all you could do was call on My name. I was right there, whispering to you that you would not fail. Knowing that you would arise from that place that the enemy thought he had destroyed you. I laughed him to scorn, for I know you more intimately than anyone. So, today you stand with more strength, wisdom, and confidence to run on. Very few know the depths of the darkness that you walked through, nor the tears that were shed as you fought your way to your high place. I did not orchestrate those times, but I have used every one of them to make you a formidable force against the darkness. Enjoy every banner that I will give you as a token. This is a new year. Remember this: You are My treasure, and whoever touches you touches the apple of My eye!
“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].” (Ephesians 2:10)
“Show me a sign of [Your evident] goodwill and favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because You, Lord, [will show Your approval of me when You] help and comfort me. (Psalms 86:17)
“But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Love,
Pastor D.
