Word of the Day
Don’t forget My beloved, nothing has changed. I have not changed. I am always with you as your Good Shepherd in the good and the bad. Be it mountains, valleys, or plains makes no difference to Me. I am agile and able to traverse all without missing a beat, a step. As I have told you before, I have already been where you are going, scouted out the path, and made a way (Exodus 23:20). Do not fret. Do not look to the right or left where shadows dwell. Trials and tribulations come to all men but the righteous are never forsaken nor do there seed beg for bread (Psalms 37:25). Neither should you. Stand up in every valley and proclaim the Bread of Life. Shadows of any kind must flee.
Without Me you cannot navigate the things ahead without falling into the cracks and crevices along the way. You must follow attentively with focus and set your face like flint. There is no other way.
Like sheep on the mountainsides, you need guidance in order not to stumble and fall. In the valleys you need My faith. No matter what you are facing My assurance to be yours, to provide, to restore, to lead has not changed. In this day and hour I have intensified these assurances in your life and I have come to escort you with valiant victory out of all the past and its shadows. I am leading you into My light and glory. Surely I am shining, pointing out the way.
I conquered death Hell and the grave, pronouncing them as only a shadow without power to hold (Revelations 1:17-19). Having eradicated the power of death and diminishing it to only wisp of darkness without power, how much more will I do to vanquish the shadows of your life? The only way they have power is if you can be convinced by one father of lies to believe so. Once again, this is where My Word comes in to play. My Word and I are inseparable. When you have My Word and plant it in your heart, faith arises and you have Me. My presence accompanies the Word and I accompany you. The lies of the enemy have to flee
Look up and see Me, the mountain from which your help comes from (Psalms 121:2). Look up and behold the Mountain and the valley will grow dim. Shadows will flee in the light of My countenance. In spite of the fact that shadows lurk everywhere and even though they try and drift within your line of sight, do not for a second pay attention. Remember, they have no substance. The color RED has stripped them of all substance and power and has given it to you. Rise up; remember I made you a light, a city on a hill. Stand up and declare to the silhouettes of darkness in your life, “You are only a shadow!”
Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep and guard you on the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared (Exodus 23:20 Amplified)
Prayer
The Lord is always with me and I am not afraid. I am quick to hear and quick to follow all instructions He gives me. He is escorting me in paths of righteousness and victory. I keep my eyes focused on the light of His countenance, His Word and all shadows have to flee. All aspects of death have been conquered by Him in my life. I embrace the Cross and all it stands for. I do not listen to the lies of the enemy. I hide the truth in my heart and it sets me free. I am set free from the law of sin and death and live according to the Spirit. My face is set like flint toward the Mountain Jesus. I stand up in the mighty name of Jesus and say to the shadows of my life, “Flee!” Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. Do you have any specific shadows of the past which need to be addressed? Take whatever appropriate action necessary; repentance, forgiveness, etc and then speak the Word to it. Trust your Good Shepherd to defend you.
2. Have you tried to navigate the circumstances of life in any way without His direction?
