Righteousness will go before Him and will make His footsteps into a way. Psalm 85:13.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Many of My people are in oppression. They are living in less than I planned for them. They are trapped with serving ungodly family members that hold them by guilt and human ties that alternate between flattery and accusations, or they are in ungodly jobs where they compromise their faith in what they are required to teach their students or in the billing or charging procedures of the business where they work, or they just feel trapped by their finances and responsibilities that they have tied themselves up in by unwise decisions. Too many people are using “stress” as an excuse for their poor behavior and allowing depression and ingratitude to creep into their lives and get a stronghold. They become irreverent complainers who speak stout against My Word and yet think they are doing everything right and I am treating them wrong. That was Job but he learned that the problem was his mouth and his stress that showed itself in fear and unease and he almost ruined everyone in his family and himself by getting right in the middle of the devil’s territory. But then I talked to him and turned it all around to work together for his good when he retracted the words of his mouth, forgave his friends, and realized I was not the one to blame. And though he was behind it you cannot even blame the devil. He cannot force you to do anything unless you agree with his words and take on his lying, fearful, and depressed nature.
So what is your answer to all this? How do you become an overcomer? Look back to your source.
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2.
That is where you will find the supply.
‘All you people of the land take courage,’ declares the LORD, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ declares the LORD of hosts. ‘As for the promise which I made you when you came out of Egypt, My Spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear!’ For thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the LORD of hosts. The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the LORD of hosts. ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ declares the LORD of hosts.” Haggai 2:4-9.
Do not fear. Enforce you right. I am here to deliver you and lead you out to lead you into your wealthy place.
You made men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water, yet You brought us out into a place of overflowing satisfying satiating abundance. Psalm 66:12.
But you have a part to, it is time to let go and forgive so you can truly go forward and live.
“Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19.
Be looking for the new. Maybe all these years you have stayed trapped in a tight place but now I am letting you out! How? Give the joyful shout and trust the good things I am about. The shout of victory took down the walls of what looked like an impossible fortress to cross. But they did have climb over or get across the fallen walls, no, I made the walls go way down deep under their feet and they walked over it.
What is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty! You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet. Psalm 8:4-6.
I have it all prepared for you so that you can walk it out. I told Joshua I would give him everywhere his foot tread but he had to go put his foot there. And he had to tread down the enemy.
You will tread upon the lion and cobra, the young lion and the serpent you will trample down. Psalm 91:13.
I have given you your promised land of overflow but you must take possession of your possession or another will take it by adverse possession. It is an illegal trespass but if you let it go on for years and years and do not rout that evil out, your possession becomes theirs. Too many of you have never enforced even one of My magnificent promises which are all “YES” to you in Jesus. You must actively say “Amen!” And take possession of the promise in your life by walking it out with Me. I am within you, My Holy Spirit abiding in your midst, in the very center and core of your inner man of the heart, so, as I told the people who I called to rebuild My temple and gave them full supplies, “Take courage and work for I am with you.” Come shake the nations with Me. Why are you so withdrawn in your self and your peeves when you could be on the forefront shaking the nations with Me?
“Behold, you will call a nation you do not know, and a nation which knows you not will run to you, because of the LORD your God, even the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you.” Isaiah 55:5.
It is time for you to live in My glory. Jesus prayed I would fill you with it as He shares His glory with you. And I answered that prayer. So how do you get filled with glory? You tap into it in praise and worship and you live it by releasing My Word which is followed by signs, wonders, and miracles—the glory. And nothing evil can endure in the presence of the glory, it falls to the ground never to rise. FILL YOUR HEART, YOUR MOUTH, YOUR HOME, YOUR WORKPLACE, YOUR LIFE WITH MY GLORY AND THE EVIL, THE ENCUMBRANCES, THE DEMONS, THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS, THE BINDING ADDITIONS, AND THE DEVIL HIMSELF WILL FALL OFF YOU AS YOU RUN INTO THE LIGHT OF MY GLORY.
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2.
And the way you do that is by loving Me and following My Words, for the glory is in the Words of My mouth once they get in your heart and your mouth. Jesus is My glory and He is My Word, He is all of God poured into humanity and then He is the funnel that fits the glory flow into you if you will just open wide your mouth to say My Word and enlarge your heart to receive it.
And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence, while You extend Your hand to heal, and [w]signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.” And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:29-31.
You can always know who is full of Me and is in love with Me, they overflow with joy and devotion, they are excited about Me and what I am doing. You cannot be with them long before I become part of the conversation. Not in a pushy or teaching way, but just as much a part of life as breathing. To them I am real. They include My input in the conversation. The worldly don’t know quite what to do with that kind of conversation.
So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the attesting miracles that followed. Mark 16:19-20.
People, though it was the first parable My Son told and I gave Joshua the instructions of how to sow the word in your heart and reap a harvest of the promises, just do not understand that My Word is seed that I sow into your heart and if you will receive My Word it will grow in you to produce the harvest of the promise it contains. But it comes in seed form. Remember, from the start to empower you to be fruitful I gave you seed to plant to produce the fruit.
“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:9-10.
Seeds produce fruit if you cultivate them. Be careful what you are planting with your words and what you are also watering and cultivating with your words. Remember the devil sowed weeds in a field of good wheat. They look the same as they grew but when it came time to produce, the weeds could not. They were useless—just cluttering up the ground and using up resources with no fruit. Selah. Now to see why you are judged for every idle word you speak? You are planting and harvesting unproductive weeds.
Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven [m]may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also. The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them. Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’” Matthew 13:24-30.
I love you. You reap what you sow. Sow and cultivate only My Words and you will always have a fruitful harvest. Plant it, grow it, enforce it, and share it.
