Good morning,
I woke up from a dream about me being in a river. The river was tempestuous. The river had strong currents flowing all around me, pulling me down and churning me back out again. The river felt alive and angry with me. It was as if the water would ball up its fist and knock me down time after time. I felt as if I would be swallowed up by the river. I was afraid that I was going to drown. I screamed out to God, “Please help me, you know I don’t really know how to swim!” In that moment, I woke up, and Holy Spirit spoke these words to me:
There is a river so recognizable that it doesn’t take great eyes of faith to see it. I have placed it right in the dry places so that my people will be drawn to it. All of those who are led by My Spirit shall come to receive all that the river contains. It contains life for every area that needs salvation. It will give complete deliverance, wholeness, healing, and liberation. Do not fear this river; it is not one for destruction, nor will it overtake you. This river is a conductor for life. To bring My life to every part that seems to be dying or failing in your life. I see and know all that is going on in your life, and none of those things have taken Me by surprise. Fear not, I Am here with you. You know that I will never leave or forsake you. Do not be weary in well doing, I have spoken that you will reap if you don’t quit, faint, or be persuaded to stop. I give you My grace to be strengthened with might by My Spirit in your inner man, which causes you to rise and go forth. When you are weak and tired, Spirit will always be there to give you everything you need to recover and walk on. Keep walking, you will walk into the deeper things of Me. Know that I will never abandon you or leave you lacking. Right in the midst of chaos, I Am peace. As you cast your cares, pray without ceasing, and not allow anxiety and worry to overtake you, I Am there to transfer all My power in place of those weaknesses. I give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise in the place of heaviness. This is My grace, My ability over and upon your inabilities. You have all that makes Me your God. I always come alongside to carry you, so hold your head up high. Step into My river, it will continue to rise high above whatever tries to take you under. It can not overcome you, as long as you continue to walk in My grace. The world and all that is in the world recognize that you are an overcomer because you remain hidden and inaccessible to the plans of the wicked one. Do not be weary, I see you walking. Flow in the river of My grace.
“Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness. And rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19)
“For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” (Galatians 6:8-9)
“But He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
