I Have You Surrounded

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. Keeping your focus on Me is a surefire way of keeping the enemy at bay in your lives.  When you feel attacked, turn to Me and I will protect you.  I have many angels assigned to you, many more than the enemy has, for only a third of the angels fell with Lucifer at the time of the rebellion, which means there are twice as many warring angels, guardian angels and ministering angels that are assigned to My children.  And when you are attached ferociously, I send more to surround you in your time of need.  My loves, if you could see into the Spirit realm you would be both terrified and comforted, for you would see a reality that you sense but cannot form pictures in your mind to describe.  There will be a day when you will see beyond the veil and you will see clearly the righteous angel army that was always around you, and you will praise the God of all Creation, for I Am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last and nothing escapes My gaze.  I see all, know all and behold all, so My loves, this is an encouragement for you today, that when you feel attacked, that there is a war in the spirit realm that has intensified greatly as we move closer to the time of Jacob’s trouble, which is Daniel’s Seventieth Week.  This is the time of testing for My chosen people, Israel, that they too recognize their Messiah and be saved by His sacrifice for them.  So yes, time is moving quickly to this moment, and I have you surrounded by My army as you seek Me in all things. 

 

2 Kings 6:8-23 (ESV) Once when the king of Syria was warring against Israel, he took counsel with his servants, saying, “At such and such a place shall be my camp.” 9  But the man of God sent word to the king of Israel, “Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are going down there.” 10  And the king of Israel sent to the place about which the man of God told him. Thus he used to warn him, so that he saved himself there more than once or twice. 11  And the mind of the king of Syria was greatly troubled because of this thing, and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not show me who of us is for the king of Israel?” 12  And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.” 13  And he said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and seize him.” It was told him, “Behold, he is in Dothan.” 14  So he sent there horses and chariots and a great army, and they came by night and surrounded the city. 15  When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16  He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17  Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 18  And when the Syrians came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness in accordance with the prayer of Elisha. 19  And Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” And he led them to Samaria. 20  As soon as they entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” So the LORD opened their eyes and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. 21  As soon as the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “My father, shall I strike them down? Shall I strike them down?” 22  He answered, “You shall not strike them down. Would you strike down those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master.” 23  So he prepared for them a great feast, and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the Syrians did not come again on raids into the land of Israel.

I Will Not Leave You Destitute

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. Why are you so downcast because of your circumstances, My loves? Why do you fret about things that are out of your control?  Why do you let such minor things cause you such stress?  All of these are not needed for a child of Mine.  Instead, you are to look to Me for these things as I will carry you through what has surrounded you.  Do not think that I don’t see your struggles, and do not think that I Am distant, for I Am with you every moment of your day.  Surrender your control to Me, that I may handle all these issues, and that you be freed of these worries.  Because you live in a fallen world, these struggles will not relent, only My power over them as you give these to Me.  When you see no way forward, there is always a way.  When your mind is in a whirlwind of uncertainty, I Am there to calm that storm.  When you encounter a chasm and you fear you will fall into the abyss, I uphold you with My righteous right hand.  You simply have no need to fret about anything, My loves, for I Am your all in all and I will not leave you destitute.

 

Heb 6:1-20 (ESV) Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2  and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3  And this we will do if God permits. 4  For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5  and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6  and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. 7  For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. 8  But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned. 9  Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. 10  For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. 11  And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, 12  so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 13  For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, 14  saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15  And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16  For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. 17  So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18  so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. 19  We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, 20  where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Your Daily Habit

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you.  I will never leave you nor will I ever forsake you. I have great plans for you, not to harm you, but to bless you and help you in every way.  You have nothing to fear, for I Am watching over your every step.  I remind you of these things because the enemy is very active now in trying to deceive you, My children.  As you have noticed, truth is a waning commodity in the earth because apart from Me there is no truth.  Deception is rising to a fever pitch in this time so you must be very careful, for even My elect are prone to these lies.  Your news cycles are meant to keep you off guard, for their deception is nearly complete now.  Yes, they may have some truth to pull you in, but ultimately their message is apart from Me and meant to lead you astray.  You hear many things, but few things are good and harbor Truth, as I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no one comes to Me except through My Son, Yeshua, who laid down His life that you may enter into My presence.  Only in Jesus will you find the truth of a matter, so this you are to do daily – seek Him in all things and read My Word.  This way you are so steeped in Me that the lies of the enemy will be obvious.  Much like a bank teller who handles money all day, they can easily discern counterfeits, and so it is for you when you handle My Word daily.  Make this your habit to read My Word.

 

John 14:1-14 (ESV) “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2  In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4  And you know the way to where I am going.” 5  Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7  If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” 8  Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9  Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10  Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11  Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. 12  “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13  Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14  If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
