a Whisper…the steady current of power

“I am your Father who understands your pain, your weakness, your feelings of self-doubt, and unworthiness. When I look at you, I see one I love because my son is in your heart. He is your security and he will be your confidence as you trust him and embrace the power of his redemptive love for you. He is in me and I am in Him. You are in us through the Holy Spirit who is in you.  There is nothing that you cannot overcome.

The devil exploits your weakness in areas where you are vulnerable to try and make you feel small and insignificant. He is a nagging thorn always looking for ways to scratch your flesh as he endeavors to lure your focus away from me. He is the tempter, but you have been made a victor by my power which enables you resist succumbing to his crafty ways.

Every emotional wound, ugly words said by others, every irritation, whether you’ve had worry, fear, or anxiety, any of these things may be used against you. You must be on your guard and quickly able to identify these things, knowing the source of them before they attack your mind. Preparation is the key to a righteous response.

I have given you power to trample on snakes and scorpions and to be strong within yourself. You are royalty in my kingdom and you have been given authority over the enemy of your soul. He will engage you in this life, that is certain, and you will need to stand firm in the confidence and the security of your faith to put him in his place.

My child, you are so deeply loved by your Father. I have put my Spirit in you, so you will be strong, that you may know your life is precious to me. You may trust that I have equipped you to have victory every day of your life. My presence is with you always and my Spirit is the steady current of power that empowers you. Your life is safe within the boundaries of my love.”

I am a devoted follower of Christ who believes that when we have ears to hear, God will speak to us. He not only uses His word through the Bible, but he uses the Holy Spirit to communicate with us in many different ways, but mostly in the ways He knows each individual heart will hear Him. This blog is simply about sharing the whispers that the Lord has spoken to my heart during quiet times with Him. I give Him all the credit for the words shared on this site. If there is any encouragement for you, as there has been for me, the blessing is from Him. I pray that all who find this blog will hear his voice in these Whispers.
