My child, all of the Father's promises toward you are fulfilled through Me, the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, and confirmed by the 'Yea' of your testimony to the glory of the Father and for the maturing of My Body in loving unity.
In Me is the assurance that you will not lack any good thing, for all good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the Light of the world.
In Me is the comfort that though you experience temporary afflictions which flesh is subject to, My touch causes them to work for the unending good of your soul and the everlasting strengthening of your spirit, developing the unchanging image of My character in you and laying up eternal treasures in your service of My perpetual kingdom.
In Me is the confidence that you are accepted by the Father Who delights to be your God, giving you His everlasting love, His gracious presence, and His divine protection.
In Me is the promise of full pardon and complete justification, adoption as a son of God, everlasting salvation and total redemption through your belief and active faith in Me and the One Who sent Me.
In Me is the gift of the Holy Spirit of God, Who indwells you, abiding with you to provide illumination in this world of darkness, revelation of the truth of My Word, faith, comfort, strength, and assistance, as well as access to My provision of grace and mercy to quench the condemning thoughts from spiritual principalities toward yourself and about others.
In Me are found all these exceeding great and precious promises, ancient and unshakable, free and unconditional, immutable and irrevocable, appropriately suited to every situation and circumstance that you may ever find yourself in. They are established in the new covenant which I made with you, and sealed with My own blood, making them safe and secure from change or short-coming, and certain since I cannot lie nor will I repent of My word to you.
In Me is the authority and power, the defensive and offensive weaponry of the spirit, to speak to those spiritual principalities and powers of darkness in the heavenlies and say, “No, you will not cross the established boundary!” for the blood of My covenant has drawn the line separating light from darkness. I have assigned the hosts of heaven to empower and enforce your word and your will when you say, “No,” and stand, resisting the inimical spiritual authorities and casting down every imagination and high presumption that exalts itself against the truth of the Word of God.
Through My love, I have made you more than a conqueror – you are made an overcomer; you are one who not only patiently bears afflictions and persecutions, but glories in them, growing in joy and faith, as you walk with Me in the fellowship of My sufferings.
In Me, My lovely and precious one, is the hope which springs eternal in the knowledge of Who I am, and Whose you are.
May you ever walk in the motivation of God's love, for it never fails, always protects, continually trusts, ever hopes, persistently perseveres, never ceasing as prophecies must, never stilled as tongues will be, never set aside as knowledge shall be, but ever guiding us into the perfection of God's purpose and will. 1 Corinthians 13
May you put childish ways behind you as you mature in God's love, speaking, thinking, feeling with ever-increasing clarity and maturity as you come to know God, even as He knows you. 1 Corinthians 13
