Oh My people, it is time for you to begin to opperate in the authority
that I have given you. Many a heartache would be prevented, many a trial
turned to victory sooner, and many an attack of the enemy circumvented
if you would but recognize, acknowledge and assume the authority of the
believer. If you are truly Mine, then you are called to be My ambassadors;
and as My ambassadors you have made available to you My resources,
My power, and My authority. What more do you need?

Many of you are being buffeted around as though you were poor,
defenseless orphans; when in reality you are CHILDREN OF THE LIVING
GOD! My people, this is certainly not My will for you, for I have called
you to be more than conquerors in and by Me. I have called you to
uproot, rout out, and set to flight the enemy and his ungodly forces; to
set the captives free and to remain undaunted in the face of opposition.
I have given you the ability, the power to stand My people, and the time
to do so is now. So stand firm, immovable, and give no more ground to
the enemy! He is a thief, yes, the chief of thieves, and he has been
taking what is rightfully yours. I am calling all of you My children to
clothe yourselves with My power and authority, and no longer go out in
your own strength.

It is not ability that I look for, but availability. There is not one
of you that I cannot use as you walk in covenant relationship with Me,
and allow Me to take you in My hand and work through you. Give Me what
you have, and I will give you what I have. I am the same yesterday,
today, and forever! I do not change My people, as some would have you
think. I can use anyone who makes themselves available to Me, yielded
and submitted to My Spirit. I am He who can make something out of
nothing. I am He who calls things that are not as though they were. I am
He who took and ordinally staff, a stick if you will, and turned it into
the Rod of God as an instrument for My work in the hands of Moses. I am
He who charged the ravens to feed My servant, and He who turned the sea
into dry land, and turned bitter waters to sweet. I am He who can raise
up children of Abraham from the stones of the earth. Is anything too
difficult for Me?

Give me your all, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to
you, and allow Me to fashion it into a tool for My work. There is nothing
that will be impossible to you as you are empowered by My Spirit. Remember
the words spoken by Jesus, "Truly, turly I say to you, he who believes in Me,
the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do
because I go to the Father. " My children, do not limit yourselves, for that
limits Me and My work in and through you. Allow Me to energize and equip
you and then you will see My power manifested in ways you cannot now
comprehend.
