The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. I hold you tightly and you have no reason to fear anything for nothing escapes My gaze. You may feel that the enemy of your soul is attacking relentlessly, and he tries. But he is very limited in his power when I hold you and you are surrendered to Me in all things. The closer you are to Me, the more freedom I have to work in your lives, for when you are still in the “world”, then it is in competition with My resources. Yes, I Am all powerful and can do anything that is in My character, but I will not overpower your own will. This relationship between us requires that we both act in accordance with My will and My way of doing things, but if you want to do things your way, then I must allow this, for I want you to want Me first and foremost. Everything is a choice, but not everything is life-giving. It’s up to you to choose the path that I have laid before you. And when you follow this path, you become a force to be reckoned with in the earth, as the enemy has very little power over you. Rejoice, My loves, for you are My prize of all creation!
James 3:13-18 (ESV) Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
