Oh My people, though there is much that confuses and baffles you, still you are not left to your own devices-for I have made available to you ALL of My resources: resources of wisdom, strength and stamina, courage and perseverance. All that you could possibly need or desire is made available to those of My household. Are you a member of My household? Then worry not about your needs or the needs of those you love, but rather come to My storehouse and take all that you need. There is no limit, no lack. There is no end, but indeed you may draw time and time again, for you can never exhaust My vast supply, and my strength is indefatigable.

I have told you in My Word that you are to 'walk by faith and not by sight,' and indeed it is imperative that you do so. For as the time of the end draws nearer, all that you see and have grown to depend on in this life will weaken, tumble and crumble away. But I would remind you that I REMAIN THE SAME-I DO NOT CHANGE! Do not wait until calamity strikes, but begin NOW to FOCUS ON ME AND ME ALONE! This does not mean that you are to be oblivious to your surroundings or the happenings around you, but that as the things of this world do begin to fall away, you can REST IN ME, knowing that it is My Word coming to pass, just as I have long warned you, and that I AM YOUR SHELTER, YOUR CONFIDENCE, AND YOUR STRONG TOWER.

My Word says, "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose trust is the Lord. He will be like a tree planted by the water which extends it's roots by a stream, and does not fear when the heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and it will not be anxious in the time of draught, nor cease to yield fruit." My people, your ability to bear fruit and prosper is not contingent upon anything that this world or this life affords you! Remember My Word: " I am the Vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples."

Remember also that My eye is upon you and underneath are the everlasting arms. Come what may, I AM YOUR EVERLASTING STRENGTH! Remember My Word which says: " What then shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us? He who spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; who is he who will condemn? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, 'For Thy sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.' BUT IN ALL OF THESE THINGS WE OVERWHELMINGLY CONQUER THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED US. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
