“You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself. Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My special treasure among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Exodus 19:4-6.
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place. Since you are precious in My sight, since you are honored and I love you.” Isaiah 43:1-5.
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God says:
You have been through fire and water, it is time to leave that all behind and stay attached to the vine. Let Me bear you up on eagles’ wings and bring you to Myself. The good news is, no matter what you have done, it is never too late to attach to My Son, for it is My will that whoever beholds Him and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I have commanded Jesus to raise everyone who believes in Him on the last day. John 6:40. The ransom has been paid for all, you have only to receive Him and all He did for you becomes yours. I have sealed you who have received Him as Lord in Him and commanded Him to raise all those I have given Him on the last day. Ephesians 1:13; John 6:39. It is the redemption of possession to the praise of My glory (goodness). And I seal you in Him with the Holy Spirit, who regenerates and quickens you. Ephesians 1:13; Titus 3:5-6, Romans 8:11.
My servant Paul was fascinated by the grace that comes to you from Me in Jesus. And he told you that of first importance was that Jesus died for your sins and was raised on the third day. 1 Corinthians 15:3. And that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and through Him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Moses. Acts 13:38-39. Your sins were all imputed to Him by Me, punished with divine wrath and justice, and then I raised Him free from sin with all sin gone, accounted for, and the condemnation and penalty taken care of. And even if you should fall back into sin after you are born again, do not fear, MUCH MORE does His blood of the eternal redemption belong to you when you are His, and will continually cleanse you. If you confess your sins to Me, I am faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse of all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9. This is eternal and continual.
Let Me share a prophetic psalm with you that will give you revelation in the area. The revelation of My Word gives light. And in My Son you are walking in the Light of the truth. He is the way, the truth and the life.
In Psalm 94 you read: “If I should say, ‘My foot has slipped (this would mean you have sinned or done evil, whether it was in anger or just careless and not intended to cause harm),’ Your lovingkindness (chesed), O LORD, will hold me up.” Psalm 94:18. Do you see I am on and at your side, holding you up and not letting you give up and retreat in shame. We are in this together. I never leave you or forsake you. When you have messed up, the harder you cling to Me the better it is going to be. I can get you through anything. Like David. Do not run and hide from Me as Adam did, draw closer and closer and do not let Me go so that I can vindicate you. Like Jacob, he would not let go until he got blessed.
And the psalmist continues, “When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.” Psalm 94:19. You may be having anxious thoughts that seem to be multiplying at a rapid rate, especially with the fear that is in the world at the present time, but look to My Word and I give to the weary a Word that will rouse them. You will find if you just sit down and inquire, I will give you just the Scripture you need to sustain you at the moment. David loved to inquire in My temple and now each of you are My temple, filled with the Holy Spirit and My Kingdom is within. And the psalmist had earlier declared in this same Psalm: “If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would dwelt in the abode of silence.” Psalm 94:17. Never to rise. But I have raised you up with Christ from that dark abode to the realm of Light. As My beloved John wrote to all of you, “I am writing to you, little children because your sins have been forgiven for His Name’s sake.” 1 John 2:12. For His Name’s sake. Not yours. It is by Him taking the punishment for your sins. It is by My imputing all sin to Him and making Him be sin for you so that in Him you are made righteous with My own righteousness. It is all for His Name’s sake, and I have given Him My Name. So it is I, even I, who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43:25. And I have exalted His Name above every other name and I have given His Name to you. Acts 4:12.
My Son is the good Shepherd who gave His life for His sheep. And He leads you in paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake. But Satan is roaming about looking for someone to devour, for he is the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but you are to resist him by My Word. Jesus told you that you would have trouble in the world but to take courage and cheer up, for He had overcome the world. And with Him in you, so can you. Do not retreat to defeat, stand strong in Me and the power of My might and speak the result you want. It will come to pass. I have put My Words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of My hand so that you can speak and establish the earth. But you have to speak and not stay in the abode of silence letting Satan, the world and the flesh take the life out of you.
You may be in what you see as many trials at this time. Challenged by each new day and you are getting weary. But My Son told you the solution for that, and it is not to wander off and try harder. The answer is His welcoming words, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.
Come to Him and He is the new and living way to Me. And after you have suffered for a little while, I, the God of all grace, who called you to My eternal glory in Christ, will MYSELF perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. 1 Peter 5:10. I am faithful and I will do it. Do you believe that? If you do, there is nothing that can take you down, for if your foot slips, I am there with you to raise you up and uphold you upright by My lovingkindness, that is, My grace, My mercy, and My glory (My goodness, presence and power). When I am with you there is no one and nothing that can conquer you, you will always rise again. You know why? If you are in Christ you are already seated with Him in Heaven and He is at My right hand. And no one can snatch you out of My hand. But please let Me help you and do not retreat from Me with a hard heart because then I can never take you into your promised land and knock out all the giants with you, in you and for you. Selah.
I love you. I will never leave you or forsake you no matter what. I am with you for eternity. And that never ends, from faith to faith, from glory to glory, ever higher, ever stronger, ever more secure, and ever more faithful in love. You will know even as you are known. Start now.
