Under the Shadow of the Almighty Quotes

“Am I Not Worthy of Continual Worship? Can you learn to thank Me for everything? I have called you out of darkness to experience the light. I have tremendous plans for you, and I intend to build you in My love. Yet I allow many trials to happen in order to grow you and stretch your faith. How can gold be proven valuable unless it is tested? Beloved, do not hate My tests, but accept them wholeheartedly. I have determined to bless you greater than the trial you may suffer. Not every trial have I desired for you. Not every hardship have I created. I create that which stretches you for growth. But there are deep hardships that are not given by My hand. Nor were they in My desire for you. Nevertheless, I have allowed them and will comfort you in the midst of them. I will be a shield to you and establish a new blessing for you once again. I am able to create good from evil. Consider the heart of man! For out of the wicked, I have brought forth repentance and life. Consider Job’s life. Who destroyed him? Was it My hand or the Satan, who pressed Me for an opportunity? It was My enemy, no doubt. And you have seen the blessing I gave Job afterward. You have seen the end I had desired for Him. Indeed, I am very compassionate and full of mercy. But Job, in the midst of his pain, praised Me. Can you do this? Can you thank Me for hardship? The hardship I do lay on a man’s shoulders is for eternal life. Now, having this wisdom, can you thank Me through your trials? Can you thank Me for them? When deep trials abound, can you still worship Me? I have only ever sought to bless you. Never has My heart been set on your destruction. So set your face to worship Me. Am I not worthy?”

“How many times have I told you? I love you; you’re beautiful; I forgive you! You don’t need to condemn your heart over past matters. Let’s move forward and away from those things. Sitting in self-condemnation is another type of sin. You are reflecting on yourself rather than accepting My forgiveness and the freedom it brings. Now I am setting you free. Go, be holy and sin no more.”

“When you became My child, you did not devote your life to Me; you dedicated it to Me, and now it is Mine. I deserve your all and all, and I require it of you. Desire to honor Me with the things you choose to do today. Open your heart up to Me and listen carefully for My voice. I challenge you to grow in our relationship. Be constantly attentive to My Spirit today and every day.”

“But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For ‘who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:15–16”
