“And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.” Ephesians 2:22 NIV

I AM FAITHFUL

As I was in prayer today, I heard the Lord say, “I am with you in the hard places and everything is in My hands! My child, know that even those painful and unrelenting areas of difficulties are in My mighty hands! All I ask of you is to yield and surrender those areas to Me. I am faithful to keep that which you have committed to Me! Others may not comprehend the weight of what you carry nor the cost of the oil… but I see! I see the resolve in you and the deep inner strength that has been cultivated and formed in you through times of adversity!”

DIAMONDS

“Yes, even as a diamond is formed by great pressure and underground heat, so it has been with you! Do not think for a moment that anything has been wasted. I can use it all for your best good when you yield it all to Me! I can cause water to flow from your most barren and dry places.”

“They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he made water flow for them from the rock; he split the rock and the water gushed out.” Isaiah 48:21 ESV

STEADY ARMS OF LOVE

I say to you today, “Who can stop the Lord Almighty? I see your weariness, nevertheless, My eye is lovingly upon you! I am the faithful God who neither sleeps or slumbers. My outstretched arms are steady and I am protecting you even now! Keep taking steps forward, for when you feel weak, That is when I am strong! Nothing that you have endured will be wasted! Like Joseph, what his brothers meant for evil, I used it all for his good and the good of all nations. Shall I not do the same for you?”

“You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.” Psalm 23:5 NLT

SOMETHING FAR GREATER

“Truly, I am doing a deep work in you! Yes assuredly, you will bear much fruit for there is purpose in the pain! I am working things together for your highest good, even though you may not see how everything will work out. Trust the process! Stay yielded and fully surrendered to Me! I am the Master Potter and you are the clay. I am forming you into something far greater than you realize! Keep trusting! Keep walking forward, for each step stretches and strengthens your faith! Be obedient, for I am with you!”

PRUNING

“This momentary discomfort of the pruning process is preparing, expanding, and equipping you for greater Kingdom purposes. Trust Me that your best days are still ahead of you! Great things are in the making and you can look forward to the great hope and future I have for you!”

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

“Resist the lies that you have been forsaken! I am close to you and My mercies and grace are being extended to you! Truly, I am with you in these hard places and I am holding everything in My strong and loving hands!”, says the Lord of Hosts.

“You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.” Psalm 139:5 NLT
