Jeremiah 17:7-8

Category: Empowerment

Strength to submit

Daughter, submit and come with me.

“Submit” is not a word you like, but

It is not what you think.

In submission, there is power.

My power.

My power serves

The weak,

The meek,

The ones who serve.

My power does not serve those

Who believe they don’t need it.

My power does not dominate for selfish gain.

My power defeats evil.

My power lives in you, daughter.

When you submit to it,

You have it.

You have it to do good,

To love,

To share light.

Submission is not

An act of weakness.

It is the way to strength,

Real strength,

In me.

No one is stronger.

Why wouldn’t you want that strength

To dwell in you?

Daughter, let me dwell.

See Psalm 32:8-11; Isaiah 55:8-9; Matthew 10:38-39; John 13:1-17; John 14:15-26; Romans 8:5-17; 2 Corinthians 3:4-5; Ephesians 5:21-33; Colossians 3:18-24; James 4:5-8; 1 John 4:4

Made for it

Daughter, ease your mind,

Ease your heart,

For I am with you.

Trust me

With what you’re going to do

Today, tomorrow.

Tomorrow is safe with me.

Don’t believe you will

Ruin it.

When you are with me, it will be

Everything you hope.

And more.

I want to give you abundance,

But remember,

It comes from me,

Not you.

Remember that

With me,

Anything is possible.

With me,

You are

Whole, complete,

Everything I made you for.

But only with me.

See Deuteronomy 31:6; Isaiah 41:9-10; Habakkuk 3:19; Matthew 19:26; Matthew 6:25-34; Matthew 28:16-20; John 14:12-14; Ephesians 3:20; Colossians 2:8-10

Me with you

Daughter, you are mine,

So let’s start this day together.

Let’s go forward, me with you.

Stay with me, and

Don’t give up.

Be part of movement that matters,

That only goes

Forward.

Let me care for you – it is

What I want to do.

Let go and let me.

Let me work it out,

Today and every day.

It’s easier than you think, daughter.

Letting go is easy when you trust.

Trust me,

Let me,

Try me.

Just for you

Daughter, stay with me

And I’ll take you

Where you never thought possible.

You’ve always thought

Your destiny isn’t possible.

It isn’t possible for

Someone like you.

The truth is

I want someone just like you for

This assignment.

No one else can fulfill it.

It’s made for you.

I designed you for it,

For today,

For tomorrow,

For all your days.

No one can do the good things

I have for you.

I made them

Just for you.

The whole time

Daughter, seek me.

Seek my ways and pause

When you stray.

Pause and remember

Who takes care of you,

Who is right here.

I am always

Right here.

I never leave,

Never make you go on your own.

Daughter,

Never believe

You are on your own.

I am moving and thinking

And wandering and walking

With you,

The whole time.

I love you

The whole time.

Stand

Daughter, why should you be afraid?

Why should you think you are so

Unimportant?

Oh, daughter, put those lies away,

Cast them to hell.

Daughter, nothing

Will change my love for you.

Nothing will keep me away from you.

Remember your right standing.

You have right standing with me,

So stand up.

Don’t cower.

Don’t shrivel or waste away.

Stand.

I don’t give up

Daughter, the tasks I give you are not burdensome.

They are designed for you and me,

Together.

I don’t give them to you and leave.

I don’t give up on you.

I don’t give up.

Did I give up on my children in the desert?

Did I give up after the wickedness, the flood, the idolatry?

Do I give up now?

Daughter, I am working every day,

In you, in all my children, simultaneously.

It is beyond your understanding,

But that does not make it less so.

See Genesis 8:20-22; Deuteronomy 8; Psalm 102:26-27; Proverbs 3:5-6; John 15:1-11; Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 and 13:7; 2 Corinthians 1:17-20 and 6:1-2; Philippians 1:6 and 2:13; James 1:2-4 and 17-18; 1 John 5:3-5

Empowered

Now you are released, daughter.

I know it’s been hard.

You want it all to be right.

You don’t want to be false.

But don’t worry.

Remember who guides you, who sees you,

Who protects you.

You are armed today.

You are empowered by me.

Your enemy has no place.

Remember how I said I have authority?

Authority over you and your spirit that your enemy

Desperately wants.

He wants to stop me.

But he can’t.

I have all authority

In heaven and on earth.

So don’t listen to the lies.

Listen to the truth and

Believe it.

Believing is your best armor.

You are a warrior with my armor.

With me, you are strong and know your place.

Don’t ever let anyone make you think otherwise.

Now go forward, knowing you are protected and

Empowered.

Be empowered to love,

To believe,

To walk where I have you,

To run when you need to,

To fight,

To pray,

To read,

To think,

To write, to be

My daughter.

See Matthew 6:25-34 and 28:18-20; John 8:42-47 and 10:10; Ephesians 3:16-21, 4:17-24, and 6:10-18; Philippians 4:13; 1 Peter 5:6-11; 1 John 2:12-14, 2:18-28, 4:4-21, 5:3-5, and 5:18-19
