ISAIAH 25:8-9 (2025)

ISAIAH 25:8-9

He will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken.

It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God;
we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

---- mine,

There is a time in every life for seasons of mourning, grief, and loss, as well as seasons of restoration, joy, and peace. During these times of trial, do not give yourself over to excessive grief, as this will lead to despair and acute distress, and this has no place in the lives of those whom I have called to be My own. There must be times of suffering in every life; only then can you be pruned. In the crucible of suffering, all the dross is burned away. Sorrow endured in the right spirit will make you more and more in the image and likeness of the One who created you, redeemed you, and continues to sanctify you. I AM the God who saves. I AM the same yesterday, today, and forever. By the power of My love, I have called you from darkness into My own marvelous light. Fear nothing, ---- my own, except the loss of your soul. Pray constantly with confidence and faith, and I assure you that I will do all that I have promised to do. Have faith and you will see God accomplish the impossible in your life and in the lives of those you love and pray for so ardently.

ESTHER 14:19, 15:9, 11 & 5:3 - 2025

ESTHER 14:19, 15:9, 11 & 5:3

O God, more powerful than all, hear the voice of those in despair; save us from the evil man’s power, and deliver me from my fear.
“What is it, Esther?” he said. “I am your brother. Take heart.
Come, speak to me.”

The king asked, “What is it, Queen Esther? Tell me what you wish. Even if it is half of my kingdom, I will give it to you.”

---- mine,

I hear you, I always hear you. Be not afraid. To give in to your fears is a sign that you do not trust Me to watch over you and those you love and to protect you from evil. I AM more powerful than all the powers of evil arrayed against you and those you love. Pray, hope, and do not waste a single moment in anxiety, which kills hope. Instead, be as a little child weaned, and lying serenely in its mother's lap. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, I have conquered, I have vanquished, I have set into motion powerful forces from My heavenly realm that are working in your favor and in the favor of those you love and for whom you are pleading all the time. I AM God, nothing is too difficult for Me. Trust Me! Trust My Word and remain always confident in the power of My love. Listen to My Word and obey it. Keep your heart far from sin and never let the light of faith grow dim. Faith has the power to level mountains and fill valleys. To all who are grafted into My Body, I give life in abundance in this life and the fullness of life with Me in heaven. Fear not, fear has no place in the lives of those who call God Abba, who call the Son Brother and Bridegroom and have the Holy Spirit as Helper, Advocate, and Guide.
