A word from the Lord:
The enemy will never let up. His malice and deception will pour forth more and more. But My glory streams from the hearts of those who are undaunted, who stand courageous and bold before the threshold of this new day.
The keys of death and hell were entrusted to Me, for I endured, and I finished my race with joy. Please continue to endure, push through and be carried by Me. Then you will find yourselves both reinforced and reinforcing those in the valley and on the heights, shouting encouragement to the yet undecided, so My army can rise and take back what My arch enemy has stolen.
But no more. This thievery must stop, through the spiritual awareness of My people, heightened by their heightened thoughts and their humility of mind; for the battle is Mine, the war is won, My church is being built and My kingdom will come.
“‘Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.
Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you.
Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it.
For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” ‘
Joshua 1:6-9 (ESV)
