THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD; I SHALL NOT WANT!

Thank you dearest Jesus for being our Lord and Savior. You are the beloved shepherd of our lives. You go before us and because of your presence we fear no evil! Your rod and staff protect us from our enemies and your Spirit comforts us.  We know you will keep us from the devouring and deceiving forces of hell that surround us.  You assure our hearts because we trust in the integrity of your perfect heart of love and you guide us by the infallibility of your hands. “So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands” (Psalms 78:72).

Then the Spirit of the Lord began to speak: YOU HAVE BEEN PLAGUED BY THE EVIL ONE AND SEEMINGLY OVERCOME BY YOUR ENEMIES, “BUT NOT FOR LONG!”  I THE LORD AM YOUR SHEPHERD, AND ANOTHER SHALL NOT RULE OVER YOU! YOU HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL AND YOU SHALL BE REWARDED!  FEAR NOT THE STRONG IN BATTLE, BUT FEAR THE LORD WHO HOLDS ALL THINGS IN HIS HANDS.  I ALONE AM “ALL POWERFUL” AND I GIVE POWER TO THOSE I CHOOSE. I BLOCK AND REMOVE THE FORCES THAT STAND IN YOUR WAY.  I GIVE OVERCOMING POWER TO THOSE WHO STAND WITH ME. YOU ARE CHOSEN OF THE LORD, AND YOU ARE SEALED WITH MY SPIRIT AND MY LOVE.

I HAVE CREATED THIS DAY AND ALL OF ITS CIRCUMSTANCES. EVERYTHING IS WORKING ACCORDING TO MY PURPOSES. THROUGH THE WORK OF THE ENEMY I WILL BRING FORTH A PEOPLE TRIED IN THE FIRE AND MOLDED INTO INSTRUMENTS FOR MY GLORY.  OUT OF THE ENEMIES “SHORT-LIVED” SHOUTS OF VICTORY WILL COME FORTH A WORK THAT WILL BRING ME PRAISE AND WORSHIP FOR ETERNITY. THESE ARE THE CHOSEN ONES WHO WILL RULE AND REIGN WITH ME.  YOU ARE BEING TRANSFORMED NOW TO RULE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS OVER A FLESHLY PEOPLE WHO MUST MAKE THE CHOICE BETWEEN ETERNAL LIFE AND DEATH.  YOU ARE MY AMBASSADORS NOW AND IN THE AGE TO COME. THE WORLD WILL PARTIALLY DRAW THEIR OPINION OF ME THROUGH YOUR WORDS AND DEEDS.  BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS DONE IN MY NAME, YOU WILL BE JUDGED FOR EVERY IDLE WORD AND DEED AT THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST.

THIS IS A SEASON I HAVE CREATED.  IT IS A SPECIAL SEASON AND WILL RESULT IN MANY SOULS BEING SAVED.  THE EVENTS WILL OPEN EYES AND EARS TO HEAR THE WORDS OF TRUTH.  MAN WILL REACH HIS EXTREMITY AND CHOOSE HIS RULER AND HIS DESTINY.  THE SHORTNESS OF TIME IN THIS SEASON WILL BRING MY CHILDREN TO THE END OF THIS WORLD AS THEY HAVE KNOWN IT AND INTO MY ETERNAL KINGDOM.  ONLY THE RIGHTEOUS CAN ENTER MY KINGDOM. “’Behold, I have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,’ says the LORD” (Isaiah 54:16-17).

Let us pray: Holy God, we bow our hearts before You and confess that You alone are God and You are our God forever! The world is at war with all righteousness because many have called “evil” good. We renounce the god of this world who would rule over us, but we choose God the Father, and Jesus Christ His Son to rule our lives. We say with all our hearts, “May Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

Prepare us to fight the good fight of faith! We will overcome satan through our faith and trust in You. Our choice is made!! We are washed in the blood of the lamb and freely give our lives to You for Your work. Come and rule over us. Bring us into total agreement with Your commandments and purposes for our lives. May we bring glory and honor to Your name.  Send Your Holy Spirit to lead us to victory over the enemy of the souls of all men. We praise and thank You for being our Lord. May You alone receive glory from our lives.  Amen.

“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I come quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.  He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name” (Revelation 3:10-12).
