I have walked with you through the time of wilderness wandering, My child, and kept My hand upon you, drawing you from your former life and its appetites and cravings.
Carrying you to an isolated wilderness, My dear one, I have cared for you and provided for you all that you have needed. Though it takes many people to raise a child in the natural, I have been to you all that you have needed during this time: provider, guide, teacher, coach, encourager, advisor, watching over you and allowing no enemy to come near you during this time of shedding the old and gaining the new.
As you have dropped the burdens of the old ways, willingly for some and reluctantly for others, I have given you the tools you will need as you cross into your promised land, and taught you by small increments to be effective with them. Give diligence to what I have shown you and practice faithfully what you have learned that you may be fully-equipped and mature when you enter into battle with the giants to whom I bring you, for by your obedience, they will fall in defeat.
Seek Me for the courage to go boldly forward in the work I give, dwelling in and searching out both knowledge and understanding of My Word.
Practice temperance in body and soul, word and deed, not fearing to express any extreme in My service, at My leading, but remaining content to dwell in moderation.
Let patience develop within you, buttressed by faith in Me and resting on confidence in My Word, that you may endure affliction steadfastly without complaint to others or depression and doubt within.
Desire godliness as you once would have sought great gain, for unlike wealth it holds promise for both the present life and the life to come, if you do not deny the power that is inherent with it – the privilege of dwelling in My presence and in fellowship with the Father.
Walk in brotherly love toward all of God's people, and express unto all men the compassionate mercy of God for each soul, for by these tokens will the world know that you are Mine, chosen and precious, beloved of the Father, having made sure your calling and election.
You do not travel this pathway alone, My precious one, for I have walked it before you, and the Comforter abides with you. All that you have need of is available upon request. Be strong, and of good courage, for you are well able to take the land.
May you give adoration to the Lord for His grace in accepting you into the family of God, redeeming you from the destruction that was your just reward, and give diligence to make your calling and election sure, walking in all He gives you and celebrating the diversity of the gifts He places in the Body of Christ. Romans 9
May you seek, in true desire of heart and humble sincerity of mind, the justification of God and the righteousness of the Lord, not by understanding and learning or by custom and tradition, but through faith in Christ Jesus, the Son of God, embracing the truth of the Word of God in trust and accepting the gift of the Spirit of God in belief that He will give only good things to all who come in the name of Jesus. Romans 10
May the Lord answer you when you are in distress, and may the name of the God of Jacob protect you, sending you help from the sanctuary and granting you support from Zion, as He remembers all your sacrifices and accepts your burnt offerings. Psalm 20
May the Lord give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed, granting all your requests, for the people will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up their banners of praise in the name of God. Psalm 20
Though some trust in chariots and some in horses, may you trust in the name of the Lord your God, for they will be brought to their knees and fall, but you will rise up and stand firm because the Lord answers you when you call. Psalm 20
