Do not believe every word you hear as though it is from Me. I have promised that I will never leave you or forsake you, that I am for you and not against you, that I laid down My life that you might have life abundant. Do not believe the negative words spoken to you by the enemy.
When I walked on the Earth, I taught My disciples that when I return I expect to see those who are Mine walking by faith and not by sight. You know that it is because of unbelief that those who wandered in the desert did not enter the promised land. And so it is today, that I require those who call themselves by My name, to believe the promises given that I will supply your every need and that I am a rewarder of him who seeks Me.
Many are they who would counter the word of the Lord to His people in this day. Many are those who would agree with the enemy in his attempt to disqualify those who have put their trust in Me. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. All things are in My hands. All authority in Heaven and Earth belong to Me. Am I not capable of presenting My Bride without spot or wrinkle before the Father? Am I restricted in any way? I formed the Heavens and put the stars in place. I spoke, and the Earth was fashioned. Do you not believe that I am able to reconstruct that which has fallen by the wayside? I am able to make the blind to see, the cripple to walk, and the leper clean. Nothing is too difficult for Me, so I caution you to turn a deaf ear to those who would try to rob you of your joy, to those who would try to dissuade you from believing that I am able to do all for you that I have promised.
I said that I would build My church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Will you believe that I will not leave you desolate, but that I am at work moving My pawns around on the board to line each one up according to My plan? I have given you authority to trample upon scorpions and to crush the enemy underfoot. Your greatest enemy is unbelief. I admonish you in this day to believe the promises of God, to trust that even that which the enemy meant for evil will be turned around for good. Eye has not seen and ear has not heard of the wonderful things I have in store for those who love Me and are called according to My purpose. Yes, you will suffer trials of many kinds, but as My word admonishes, count it all joy, for even in the trials, I am building My church, refining, and producing character.
I have not forgotten you, nor have I forgotten My promises toward you. I came to give you life and life more abundant. All My promises are “yes” and “amen,” so come into agreement with them and do not side with the accuser of the brethren who stands before the Father and accuses day and night. Understand that I stand before the Father on your behalf, and that I will not lose any who are Mine.
In this day I caution My people to keep your eyes on Me and to trust and believe that I will surely deliver you out of all your afflictions. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. Trust and believe that I have fully paid the price of redemption, that the blood I shed on the cross at Calvary was enough, that there is no other sacrifice needed. A day of judgement is coming. Those who believe will be covered, but those who do not believe will be found guilty, so put your trust in the One who is able to keep you from the wrath that is to come and rejoice that your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Herald the good news that Jesus saves. Let the testimony of your mouth give account to the one-time sacrifice for all sin and do not give in to the lie of the enemy that My death and resurrection fails to prove you innocent. Who will believe My report? Who will give heed to My counsel? Those who put their trust in Me will not be disappointed.
