The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. This is a truth that that will carry you through your darkest days, My loves. Knowing that I Am with you brings a peace that passes understanding, and as you walk with Me, this peace increases. When a child of mine first surrenders their lives to Me, there is great joy as they have been freed from many things. But as time moves on the path becomes difficult and even treacherous at times, and your peace turns to strife and you don’t understand what is happening. This is the act of sanctification, which seeks to purify your heart into pure gold, suitable for a King. As you mature in your faith then you have peace upon peace until you find your joy no matter the circumstances you may find yourself. If you lack peace, it is not because I Am distant, but that you have been distracted. This is My calling to you today to focus on Me in you and let Me tackle all of the issues surrounding you, that you may have this peace that passes understanding.
John 14:15-31 (ESV) “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. 18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me. 25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
(1 Peter 1:6-7, Romans 5:3-5, Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 4:6-7)
