Time To Draw Near

For the enemy is seeking all that he can devour, and he is doing it through the sin of unbelief. This is the only way that he can get you to fall into his snare is if you fall away from My truth and believe a lie.
Do not believe everything that you can see and feel for the enemy works in the sense realm, and you must stay behind the shield of faith believing only the promises of God. Walk only by faith and not by sight, and you will have the victory over every circumstance that the enemy hurls at you. This is the day of salvation, the day to choose who you will serve. Will you bow the knee to the spirit of fear and unbelief, or will you continue to trust in Me?
For I love you, My people, and I want you to draw near, for I want to feed you fresh manna that you may grow strong. I want to speak revelation to your heart that you may be illuminated with My words, but you must draw near and hide yourself within Me. Stay in the special place that I have assigned for you alone, for you are My child, and I want to feed you specific truths that you do not yet know. But you must be able to come before Me and be still and know that I Am God and that I Am in control of all things.
The enemy has no rights except those that you allow him to have. So be still and seek My face, and I will show you any area that is an open door to him. I will show you the iniquities not yet dealt with, and I will break off all curses. But you cannot do this on your own. I will show you the way, so draw near.
Watch and pray that you fall not into temptation for the enemy is seeking who he can devour through the spirit of lust and covetousness. Be content in that which you have, and believe My promises of prosperity and the abundant life, for I want you to have ample amount so that you can provide for others in need. Didn't I say you would not lack any good thing and that My people would not ever have to beg for bread? Bring all your requests to Me alone, and then I will put it on the hearts of others to provide for you when you are in need. I Am your Father, and I care for you.
Concerning relationships I want you to cast off all vain imaginations for the enemy is seeking to devour through the spirit of division. Believe the best in all people in the Body. Do not believe what you see or feel. Stand on My promises of love. Do your part to reach out to others, and be obedient to My law of grace. If you sow to the flesh, you will reap death, but if you live in grace you will reap everlasting life.
I loved you first when you did not know Me, and you were unlovely and covered in sin, but I saw you through My Father's eyes the finished product. He saw My blood covering you. So I want you to walk in My steps, and cover a multitude of sins with My love and My blood. See others perfect as I see you. Be one as I and My Father are one. Do not allow the enemy to divide you. Cast down your petty differences and crucify your flesh. Pick up your cross and follow Me.
For children, I admonish you, I encourage you to stay under My wing in the secret place. Believe every aspect of My word. Psalm 91 is for you to keep in your heart and to apply daily. Stay under the protection of My blood, and the death angel will pass over you. For this is the time of judgment of those who are independent of Me, not only the unbelievers, but for those called by My name who choose to believe a lie. For you serve who you truly believe, and many choose to believe the lies of the evil one, and cast aside My promises.
Be strong and be bold for the Lord thy God is with you. Do not be dismayed for I Am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness. And I want you to rejoice for you have the victory, and the enemy is under your feet if you only draw near.
