“Breakthrough and shift are happening in the midst of what appears to be a breakdown. Though you are at the end of yourself, this is exactly where I desire you to be. This is so you will know that it is Me and Me alone who delivers you and rescues you.

Psalm 44:3

It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.

“I am giving you great joy in exchange for deep sorrow. The process has been messy and painful, but truly it has not been in vain. I’m so proud of how you’ve kept the posture of your heart and how you’ve continued to fight the good fight of faith, even though the trying circumstances you have faced seem to appear opposite of My promises that I speak over your life. Nevertheless, it has been My right hand that sustains and upholds you even as you’ve been in the deep waters, feeling as if you were going under. I have preserved you, keeping you afloat amidst the waves and raging storm. I have allowed you to walk through the fire without being burned. I say to you, ‘When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze’ (Is. 43:2).

“Truly nothing has been lost. Instead, strength, trust, and a greater resolve has been formed and gained. Yes, even your very enemies have prepared you for the promotion that I am about to bring forth. What the enemy has meant for your harm I will use for your good. Your best days are just ahead of you,” says the Lord.
