"No one has ever overdosed on encouragement."

WORD TO PONDER:  COURAGE  3/17/98

I desire to build you beyond your present state.  This can not happen without your cooperation.  Widen your heart, increase your capacity to receive what I have to say.

You separate us by placing walls of smallness around yourself.  You think that if I were to speak important Words to you or about you that this might build pride.  But this is a lie of the enemy, desiring to keep you thwarted.  He is very afraid of this hour for he knows that I AM building a mighty army, fully equipped with weapons of destruction.  The enemy will do everything to keep your perspective small, fearful and full of defeat.

By way of comparison, if you were to draw a tree depicting what you consider your stature, you might think of a tall hedge or a fruit tree.  But I say taller, and even taller still.  Picture the strength, might and majesty of the tallest redwood trees, and then grow taller.  The might and power of your spirit man can grow as tall as the tallest mountains.  But I need your cooperation to receive the Words I speak into your life.

When I speak Words of courage and valor and bravery and might into your life, then swallow them.  When I speak your calling, then receive it.  When I say you have authority, than practice it .  When I say you can pull down strongholds, then believe it.  When I say you can move mountains, then accept it.  This doesn’t happen overnight.  It happens by steps and degrees of your willingness to believe and practice what I give in perfect increments.

What I AM building is an army that can face giants in the land.  With the power and dominion of who they have become, this army will ultimately defeat those giants.  They will grow to surpass all odds and all obstacles no matter how tall. For they have grown taller than the obstacles.  They have chosen to believe My Words spoken over them.  Believe it, when I say a mighty army, I mean a mighty army.

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.  And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.”  (Malachi 4:2-3)
