What Lays Ahead For You

Dear one, I have good plans for you, and I want you to look eagerly forward to your future.
The enemy of your soul has been trying to make you weary, to steal away your hope and your joy. He wants you to believe that the future will be dark and dreary, and that all you have to look forward to is persevering in difficulty, affliction and trials. He wants you to forget that I have come that you might have life, and that it might be abundant--that is rich and full.

The enemy of your soul wants you to base your sense of well-being on the circumstances that surround you. He wants you to forget that I give a supernatural peace and a supernatural joy that transcend your circumstances. He wants to grind down your hope in light of the difficulty and despair that the world faces. But, dear one, I am the God of all hope, and I have both a hope and a future for you.

The enemy wants you to base your sense of self-worth on your what you do and what you accomplish, and on what others say about you. He doesn't want you to know how precious you are. He doesn't want you to be mindful of the great treasure that I have placed within you. He wants to tear down all the good things that I have been building up in you.
Guess what, dear one? He is not in control of your future--I am! The enemy of your soul does not control your destiny, nor can he prevent you from walking in it. I am coming alongside of you to help you, to empower you to walk in the fullness of every good plan that Ihave for you. I have made you an overcomer. My anointing and My miracle-working power flow through you--nothing is impossible to you.

I am the God who supplies all of your needs through My riches in glory. My will for you is good, My desire for you is that you be happy and fulfilled. I am not calling you to a life of suffering or making due with less than you need. I want to bless you in every way--physically,emotionally, financially and spiritually. That is what lays ahead for you, and that is what you have to look forward to.

Yes, dear one, at times I take you through short seasons of difficult growth. There are times when I force you to look at some aspect of your life or character that you do not want to acknowledge. There are times when I make you face hurts from the past--but that is so that I can break their power over you. I want to set you free from the things that hold you back and that inhibit you from enjoying the full measure of all that I have for you. I do allow seasons of discomfort for you, that you might grow. I do cause you, at times, to pass through the valley of the shadow of death. But I do NOT leave you there.

It is not My will for you to live out the remainder of your days in that valley of the shadow of death. I want to bring you to the mountain top of My presence--that is where I want you to dwell. My will for you is abundant life. That is what I want you to expect from Me and that is what I want you to look forward to in this coming year.
