I Hold You Tightly

The Lord is saying:  My loves, I Am here, and I Am with you.  Do not doubt in Me, for I Am closer than a brother.  Do not fear, for I comfort you in your struggles.  Do not become angry when you are opposed by the enemy, for I Am your shield and buckler.  I Am everything that you need, and I provide for you in ways you cannot yet understand.  When you feel down and are surrounded by obstacles to the right and to the left, then stand still and I will show you the path forward.  Just as the prophets of old experienced troubles, it was then that they sought Me and I guided their every move; I Am doing the same for you in this time.  My return to the earth is close at hand and there is no need for you to seek relief or guidance from any other, for I hold you tightly and will never let you go. 

 

Rom 8:1-11 (ESV) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2  For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3  For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4  in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5  For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6  For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7  For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8  Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9  You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10  But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11  If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. 


Of Utmost Importance

The Lord is saying:  My loves, My children, listen closely, for I Am with you.  There is danger in the earth that seeks to end what I have begun in you, and you must keep close to Me in order to complete what I have for you.  If you are pulled into the enemy’s schemes, then you will be taken out of My will for you.  This is a very important thing for you right now, that you not be pulled away from Me and into your fleshly desires for the time is very short for you in the earth now.  When you are inclined to do a certain thing that seems good, bring it to Me for confirmation, that I help you in this because the enemy of your soul moves very closely the way that I do in order to move you away from Me.  The path may seem right at first, but then you notice little things that cause you to pause.  When these moments come upon you, do not discount as nothing, because you are in danger of being pulled astray.  This is of utmost importance for you in this time, for there is a way that seems right, but it leads to destruction.  If you are close to Me, then you will be protected from these.

 

Gal 2:11-21 (ESV) But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12  For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. 13  And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14  But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?” 15  We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16  yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. 17  But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18  For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19  For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20  I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21  I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. 


I Created Everything With You In Mind

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you.  You are Mine and I intend to bless you abundantly for your faith in Me.  You have lived according to My will, and I see all that you do.  Yes, everyone stumbles at times, and this is to be expected while in the earth, but it is the repenting that I see afterwards that warms My heart.  This means that you belong to Me, and you try to please Me in all that you do.  Well, now I intend to bless you more abundantly than you can imagine.  Because of your love for Me and love for others, I will now open the floodgates of Heaven and show the world what it looks like to truly live as the son or daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords.  Open your hands and receive what I have, and receive these with grace, knowing that you have done the things that I have placed before you, that you do them, and that the world is different because of this.  If the world didn’t have you, then it wouldn’t be complete, because I created everything with you in mind. 

 

Psalm 31:1-24 (ESV) To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! 2  Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! 3  For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me; 4  you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge. 5  Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God. 6  I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD. 7  I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have known the distress of my soul, 8  and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place. 9  Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted from grief; my soul and my body also. 10  For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away. 11  Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach, especially to my neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me. 12  I have been forgotten like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel. 13  For I hear the whispering of many— terror on every side!— as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life. 14  But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.” 15  My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors! 16  Make your face shine on your servant; save me in your steadfast love! 17  O LORD, let me not be put to shame, for I call upon you; let the wicked be put to shame; let them go silently to Sheol. 18  Let the lying lips be mute, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt. 19  Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind! 20  In the cover of your presence you hide them from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter from the strife of tongues. 21  Blessed be the LORD, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was in a besieged city. 22  I had said in my alarm, “I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help. 23  Love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride. 24  Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD!
