The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. Though you see many things happening around you, remember that I have you hemmed in on all sides. I Am your protector and keeper of your soul, and nothing can harm you if you are in Me, and I in you. This is a call for you to remember Who you belong to, and who it is that seeks your destruction. When I created the earth and Adam, who was My final masterpiece of the Creation Week, it was good. But then the chief cherub I created became prideful and sought to take credit for the Creation and be praised as god. At that moment he fell from his original estate and enticed Eve to partake of the “forbidden fruit”. Then Adam, realizing her error, also partook and sin entered the world. At that moment all of Creation fell from grace. I tell you these things to remind you that this is not what I originally intended, but that I had a plan in place to redeem fallen creation. I promised Adam and Eve that from her seed would come a Savior who would right these wrongs. What you are seeing in the earth now is the culmination of what sin does, as well as the good that comes from the Seed, which is My Son, Jesus Christ. All who surrender their lives to Him will be made good again, and worthy of being with Us forever in Heaven. If Heaven is your destination, then you are to have no fear.
Isaiah 41:1-20 (ESV) Listen to me in silence, O coastlands; let the peoples renew their strength; let them approach, then let them speak; let us together draw near for judgment. 2 Who stirred up one from the east whom victory meets at every step? He gives up nations before him, so that he tramples kings underfoot; he makes them like dust with his sword, like driven stubble with his bow. 3 He pursues them and passes on safely, by paths his feet have not trod. 4 Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. 5 The coastlands have seen and are afraid; the ends of the earth tremble; they have drawn near and come. 6 Everyone helps his neighbor and says to his brother, “Be strong!” 7 The craftsman strengthens the goldsmith, and he who smooths with the hammer him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, “It is good”; and they strengthen it with nails so that it cannot be moved. 8 But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend; 9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, “You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off”; 10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 11 Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. 12 You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing at all. 13 For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” 14 Fear not, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel! I am the one who helps you, declares the LORD; your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. 15 Behold, I make of you a threshing sledge, new, sharp, and having teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and crush them, and you shall make the hills like chaff; 16 you shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the tempest shall scatter them. And you shall rejoice in the LORD; in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory. 17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the LORD will answer them; I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 19 I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive. I will set in the desert the cypress, the plane and the pine together, 20 that they may see and know, may consider and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, the Holy One of Israel has created it.
(2 Tim 1:7; Psalm 27:1; Rom 8:31; 1 John 4:18; Rom 5:12)
