Oh My children, why do you struggle so?
Much of your conflict is from trying to live your lives and accomplish your
work in your own strength. This will always lead to frustration and futility.
Have I not provided you with all the strength, wisdom and direction that you
need? Yet often you allow what I have provided to go unnoticed and unused,
while you attempt to accomplish supernatural feats with your very natural and
limited resources.

Take what I offer! Avail yourself of the manifold blessings and draw from
the storehouse of My treasures, lest you continue to grow weary and weak.
Never were you meant to walk in your own strength and knowledge; for indeed
it will inevitably meet with failure and disillusionment.

I am to be your source of strength, insight, comfort- whatever is needed
in any and all situations-I AM THE ANSWER!! Never will you find
the answer in and of yourself. If mankind were capable of producing and securing
the answers to life and living, in and of themselves, then would there have been
no need for a savior. Yet, I have provided you with a Savior- a way to rise above
the beggarly elements of the world and its ways, and experience the supernatural,
partake of the Divine nature and share in the Holiness of the Most High God.

It is not achievable in your own strength, not attainable by your own merits.
It is only as you PUT ON CHRIST and adorn yourself with the
redemption and sanctification that HE provided; purchased by His sacrifice and
resurrection. IT IS A GIFT! My gift to you. No longer allow it to go
unused. Take it, enjoy it, and WALK IN IT, and you will soon find
yourselves truly "seated with Christ in the heavenly places."
