You are overwhelmed by fear, anxiety, frustration, stress and the like, but the only thing I want you to be overwhelmed by is My glory. That does not mean I am oblivious to your suffering and circumstances. Quite the contrary, for I am always with you.
Do you not realize that your peace is found in Me? And there is peace in the eye of the storm? Find your true north. Center yourself once again in Me. For I am training you in righteousness. Righteousness not only in outward behavior but in the inward dialogue that constantly bombards you.
You have been given all authority and you must exercise it. You rule and reign as a king and priest before Me. No longer allow the intruders to reside in your soul, but deliver them over to My judgment. For I am a righteous Judge and I say, "No Trespassing!" No longer allow these intruders to stay, but tell them in no uncertain terms to get out. Then replace them with the truth of My Word, for this is the only antidote to the lies that have come against you.
Therefore, stand firm and as you decree, My mighty host will do battle on your behalf. Refuse to bow to your feelings or circumstances, but stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Allow yourself to be overwhelmed by My never ending grace, for it is not by your might, nor by your power, but by My Spirit that you overcome. I will show you your part and then you must trust Me to do Mine. Until you do, you will remain overwhelmed by the enemy's devices.
Psalm 69:1-3, 13, 16-17, 29-32 The Passion Translation (TPT)
1–2 God, my God, come and save me! These floods of trouble have risen higher and higher. The water is up to my neck! I’m sinking into the mud with no place to stand, and I’m about to drown in this storm.
3 I’m weary, exhausted with weeping. My throat is dry, my voice is gone, my eyes are swollen with sorrow, and I’m waiting for you, God, to come through for me.
13 But I keep calling out to you, Yahweh! I know you will bend down to listen to me, for now is the season of favor. Because of your faithful love for me, your answer to my prayer will be my sure salvation.
16–17 Oh, Lord God, answer my prayers! I need to see your tender kindness, your grace, your compassion, and your constant love. Just let me see your face, and turn your heart toward me. Come running quickly to your servant. In this deep distress, come and answer my prayer.
29 I am burdened and broken by this pain. When your miracle rescue comes to me, it will lift me to the highest place.
30 Then my song will be a burst of praise to you. My glory-shouts will make your fame even more glorious to all who hear my praises!
31 For I know, Yahweh, that my praises mean more to you than all my gifts and sacrifices.
32 All who seek you will see God do this for them, and they’ll overflow with gladness. Let this revive your hearts, all you lovers of God!
