Son, when you speak the words I give you – you are My spokesman. You must influence people around you, but do not let them influence you! Your qualification comes from Me, so be very bold, and never shut up My Word! You will have troubles, but trouble will not crush you. You will be perplexed, but you will always have hope. You will get knocked down, but I will help you back up. This is why you must never give up.
Your present troubles are small and won’t last very long, and they will produce in you a lasting glory that vastly outweighs them! So don’t become discouraged by the troubles you see now; rather, fix your gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things you see now will soon be gone, but the things you cannot see will last forever. Remember, I have been with you in everything you have done. I have watched your every step taken, and you have lacked nothing.
Son, Satan is the god of this world, and he has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. His followers are unable to see the glorious light of My Good News. Their hearts have become hard so they cannot understand the truth. I gave them the free will to choose their own course in life, and they have chosen to refuse My Good News. Therefore, they have no hope. When there lives are based on foolish assumptions, the only conclusions can be wicked madness!
Lord, when I read Your word, I devour it. Your Word is my joy and my hope. Your Word is my strength and my refuge in the day of trouble! When Your Word rules my life – I am free!
