"I am the One who rescues you from your prostitution!
I am the One who sets you free!
You cannot set yourselves free by working harder!
"You have no power to leave your bondage,
and you have no other 'way'
but to let Me do the work for you.
"Come, let Me do the work for you.
Rest in Me and trust in My hand.
I will free you from your captivity."

"I am stronger than your hardness!
I am your root, and I am mighty to save.
I am He who overcame the world,
and I am He who lives within you.
I am He who overcomes the world
and who overcomes the evil one in you.
Because I overcame, you also will overcome.
I am He who began a good work in you,
and I am He who is faithful to finish it.
Trust in Me more than in your unchangeableness."

"The names of My children are in the book of life,
not because they understand how to obtain My approval,
but because My Son is the One in whom I am well pleased.
"My children, put your confidence in My Son!
Rest in His righteousness.
Rest in His righteous acts and in His works on your behalf.
Let Me credit His deeds as your deeds,
for only His righteous works can cover your nakedness.
There is no other sure covering than the blood of My Son.
"Do not look to your own deeds to keep your name in the book of life,
for as your deeds could not write your name in the book of life,
neither can your deeds keep your name written there.
"My Son has engraved your name on His hands;
do not leave His hands by trusting your deeds.
Do not look to the book of deeds, but to the book of life—
My Son is your life!"

"I am your peace—your place of rest
from temptation, confusion, struggle, and sin.
"Be still and know that I have redeemed you!
I have accomplished your sanctification on the Cross.
"Rest in what I have done for you, not in yourself.
When you need relief from the waves, look to Me."
"You are in Christ Jesus,
who has become for us wisdom from God—
that is, our righteousness,
holiness and redemption."
(1 Corinthians 1:30)
"My children,
I know you believe that you can see,
and that you can see more 'light'
than others who call on My name.
Come, let Me touch your eyes, My children,
for you have not seen as clearly
as you have been told.
Come, ask Me to open your eyes.
Ask Me to remove any veil you may have.
Ask Me to lead you into all truth.
Ask Me to be the light of your world.
Ask Me to reveal to you
the glory of the new covenant."

"I am the wonder of heaven!
I am the glory of the Father!
I am the character and the heart of God!
"There is no other light
than Him who is the Light of the world.
I am the complete counsel of God.
I am the very Word of God.
"I am the gospel.
I am the good news.
I am He who has finished all the work
necessary for your salvation.
"Do not let anyone deceive you!
Do not be led astray by another gospel!"

"I am the One who calls you to come to Me
with your needs, your griefs, your hopes and your cares.
I know that you worry I will not hear you
if you don't pray 'correctly' or long enough
or with enough feeling in your heart.
My child, I know you want to stay focused on Me
and bring your needs to Me without being distracted.
"I want you to know that I always hear you, My child!
I hear you even before you call!
I know you want to give Me your everything,
but the more you try, the more you see how weak you are.
"Do not be ashamed, My child,
for I gave My everything because I knew you couldn't!
I am not upset or disappointed that you have been unable
to attain perfection in prayer as you think I want you to.
Instead, I am overjoyed and delighted in you, My child,
and I rejoice in any attempt you make to pray.
"I just want to be with you, My child.
When you come to Me in prayer,
I want you to rest in My love for you
and to know that I have already heard you
and am already caring for your needs.
I am strong in your weakness!"
