Escape the clutches of the evil one, and run speedily towards Me. For many have taken hold of a way of life that may be detrimental to their well being if they do not repent and cry out for mercy from Me. Many have given into addictive type behaviors accepting them to be the normal when all they are doing is robbing them of their health, both spiritual and physical. They have been feeding on things that are purely addictive behavior.

Examine the way that you live. Are you seeking Me whether these things are pleasing to Me, or don't you care to know My opinion and approval. For once you give way to these things, it is very hard to break away without My grace to deliver you, even of the desire to do them. Once you break away, keep a guard up not to fall back into them, for the enemy goes about as a roaring lion seeking all that he can devour.

Don't you know that I delight in the well being of My children, for I promised you the abundant life? But your idea of what this is, is far from what I have planned for you to have. For I plan that you are to prosper and be in health as your soul prospers, but you must be in My will to do this. Seek My face early, and I will show you the way to go each day and will give you the strength to resist the evil one's schemes to distract you from the path I have called you to. For all he wants to do is to corrupt you in all ways, even in the way you eat, sleep, rest, what you give your mind to. Every area he is constantly trying to bombard you from all that will bless you. But you must resist the enemy, and he will flee. You must be strong to even crucify the lusts of the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life. Put up your shield of faith, and block the fiery darts of the evil one. Yes, use your mighty sword of truth and light against the lies saying that you can't change these ungodly habits.

For you are the temple of My Spirit, and you must guard what you allow in through the eye gate. It isn't what you put in your mouth that defiles you, but that which comes out of your mouth. So guard your heart to keep it pure. Cast off all forms of defilement. Do not ignore any trace that is not pure within. Do not sweep it under the rug, but allow My light to purge every trace of impurity.

For this is the day of the latter rain outpouring, and you must display a testimony of faithfulness in every area of your life. Do not ignore your own appearance. Be concerned with areas of intemperance and even of gluttony. Do not try to fill a void with food. You are to be seeking Me in the secret place, and I will supply all your needs and heal the hurt within. Yes, this is the day of the latter rain outpouring, and you must be vessels I can move through. Nothing standing in My way. So commit every aspect of your life to Me, and I will set you free. I will bless your health and finances if you place it all in My hands.

For I am your loving Father, and I care for you. Let go and let Me be your God. Quit trying to do it all yourself for you see you aren't making any progress. You go around the same mountain too many times trying to escape it. Give it to Me, and let Me crush it to powder, and give you the desire of your heart, the abundant life, says your God.
