Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. Psalm 116:7.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Be at rest in Me, you who are the little flock of My Son, I have given you the good Shepherd to provide for you, to protect you, and to be with you always.
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:27-30.
And because you have loved Him and become one with Him by joining in Covenant with Him, through the redemption of His blood you have become one with Me. You are now My beloved child of predilection.
In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father. John 16:26-27.
You have become a member of the Body of Christ, a joint heir with your head, and one of the elect. And I have sealed you in Him by the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of your resurrection to a new and eternal existence with Me.
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession (Exodus 6:7), to the praise of His glory. Ephesians 1:13-14.
By choosing Me of your own free will you have predestined yourself to a glorious eternity reigning with Me in My Kingdom.
For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. Romans 8:29-30.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. John 11:25-26.
In fact, you who are born again in My Son are citizens of My Kingdom and have access to its blessings and provisions now and forever with no ceasing, ever increasing as your faith grows.
Do not live in fear, little flock, for it has pleased your Father to give you the Kingdom. Luke 12:32.
And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:5.
He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach—if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard. Colossians 1:22-23.
As He is, My Beloved Son and heir of all things, so are you before Me. By the blood of the Cross He has given you the gift of peace with Me, Colossians 1:20, and yourself for now you are holy, blameless, and beyond reproach before Me.
Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name. “They will be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “on the day that I prepare My own possession [Ephesians 1:13-14], and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. Malachi 3:16-18.
I call to all to bring you out of the darkness of sin and death to My marvelous light, to open your eyes to the light of My glory on the face of Christ to set you free from the dominion of Satan to My Kingdom that you will receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me. Acts 26:18. But I tell you that though many are called, few are chosen to be in that inner circle with Me, the secret place within Me. Why is that? Because so few respond to My call. In Abraham’s day, he was the only one who responded to Me.
Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. His soul will abide in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, and He will make them know His covenant. My eyes are continually toward the LORD, for He will pluck my feet out of the net. Psalm 25:12-15.
You can live in such great closeness with Me, two as one, so that you can speak with Me at any time and I am there listening and ready to answer. You have no reason to worry about anything because when you call I answer for I am right there with you, never to leave you, never to forsake you. I run your cup over with abundance and that abundance becomes your joy—the unfathomable riches of grace found in Jesus and received by faith.
When you choose to live your life in Me you are shielded with My good Will and encompassed in My love. Deep within My bosom your life is hidden in Me with Christ and the evil one cannot touch you.
For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. John 1:16-18.
We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them. 1 John 5:18.
With My right arm I embrace you and I put My left hand under your head. Song of Songs 8:3. And in My left hand are riches and honor and in My right hand is long life. Proverbs 3:16.
Though Christ had not died as yet in time, David saw the Messiah in the Spirit, just read Psalm 22 and you will see that he made an eyewitness account of My Son’s death to the smallest detail: the words said, the mocking, the division and gambling for his clothes, going to the dust of death, and the thirst, two thousand years before it happened. David lived close to Me, singing for joy under My wings till harm passed by. To be near Me was his good. And he described this encompassing closeness of My care for you.
O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O LORD, You know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it. Psalm 139:1-6.
I AM the one who is, who was and who is to come. I have you totally covered for good, for shalom and not evil, to give you a beautiful future and a certain hope.
I sing over you as one does at festivals. Zephaniah 3:17. Listen to My Song of Songs:
Loving Me will take away all the sins of yesterday and those yet to come, in My Son, in My Son. Forever you’re within My care, that means I am always there, making you My own, I’m your home, I’m your home. I planned you from the start, conceived you deep within My heart, forming you to be, just like Me, just like Me. Come and live your life in Me, I will set you O so free! I want you to know, I love you so, I love you so.
I love you. And your love for Me in My Son has made you My child of predilection.
I was brought low, and He saved me. Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. For You have rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. I shall walk before the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 116:6-9.
