The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. Hold tightly to Me and the enemy of your soul will never be able to touch you. With great faith you will stand against the enemy as I hem you in on every side. These go together, My loves. Your resolve to press into My love, and My love for you, surrounding you tightly. This is cause for rejoicing, My precious children, for you are elite in the earth and you belong to Me and Me alone. I share you with no one, for I Am a jealous God, not wanting you to stray from our relationship even for a minute. Yes, perfection is not expected while you are still in the flesh and in the earth, so when you stray, quickly turn back to Me that our relationship be restored to full force against the enemy of your soul. There are consequences for sin, and the longer you stray from My way, the longer the enemy has to set his hooks into you and keep you away from Me. But the moment you realize what is happening, turn back to Me, repent and you will already be back into My full care. Keep your faith strong in Me at all times, My loves, so that you are not prone to stray into great troubles that await.
Joshua 1:1-9 (ESV) After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. 5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
