In whose heart are the highways to Zion!
They go from strength to strength,
Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
(Psalm 84:5,7 NASB)
God says you are blessed because your strength is in Him. “The Lord is the strength of my life….” (Ps. 27:1). God’s own power dwells in you. You have His ability, His force, His might, and His energy. All of God’s strength is yours.
You are daily increasing in strength. Every moment you are getting stronger and are going from one degree of strength to another. God’s Word is what builds you up and gives you strength.
God has not given you a defeated attitude, one that cowers in fear, but rather He has given you a “spirit of power.” (2 Tim. 1:7)
When you made Jesus the Lord of your life, you exchanged your weakness for His strength. As a result, you are now strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. (Eph. 6:10)
You have been strengthened with might by God’s Spirit in your inner man. (Eph. 3:16) Resurrection power is flowing through you by the Holy Spirit.
You have an anointing from God that breaks every yoke of bondage. (Isa. 10:27)
You never have to be afraid again because you know who you are. You know who Jesus is and what He has done for you. The Word makes all the difference.
You have realized that meekness is not weakness, but rather a total dependence on Jesus. He is strong. The government is upon His shoulder. (Isa. 9:6)
