"Then He stood up and told the wind to be silent, the sea to quiet down:  "Silence!" The sea became smooth as glass. The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"  Matthew 8: 26-27 ~Message and NIV


+ My love, the only way for you to be discouraged is if you believe that your weaknesses are stronger than My Power to transform you. How could that ever be? I know everything about you. Let not your heart be troubled. Cast off everything ...every thought of defeat and overwhelm...and cast every care on Me. Rest. Release the swirling sense of dis-ease...this sense of failure at even getting "you" right! Lies. Lies. Lies!! Let go! Listen to My Voice alone. If you do not feel healed and made whole by what you are hearing...you are listening to the enemy I gave My all to destroy and silence. Come to Me, My little one. I speak to every storm. I still every unspoken raging whirlwind that seeks to batter you down. Rise up. Let Me be your Savior. Run to Me. I'm here...ever waiting to heal you and free you from all self- condemnation. I want you to say yes to yourself today. Say yes, then fix your heart, mind and all your energy on the GOODNESS, BEAUTY, TENDERNESS AND POWER OF the Father. The Holy Spirit will help you in every way. You belong to Me. I will not ever let you go. I want your mind totally renewed. I want you whole...functioning in and through My all-powerful, able Holy Spirit, who has been given as a supreme Gift to enable you to walk in a high and spacious place...high above all the powers of darkness. Rise up, My love, like an eagle. Use the storms to rise higher. Know that the enemy has nothing in you. You are Mine! Rejoice. Relax. Rest. Relinquish every thought of defeat. Victory is yours because it is MINE and you are IN ME! Live this day in high praise and joy. My joy indeed is your strength. Use it! Declare it! Abide in it! Operate out of it! Rejoice and be glad in this day of your Lord. Green pastures are before you...restful waters...total protection from all danger. Come My beloved one, taste and see that your Lord is good. I will not let you be put to shame. I will make your face radiant...glowing with My yes....then you cannot help but shine My Love over all you meet.
