SING, MY CHILDREN
I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
PSALM 7:17 O My people, My chosen ones, I love you with an everlasting love, and with the cords of My faithfulness I have bound you to Myself. I am not a man that I should lie (see Numbers 23:19), but all I have promised, I will surely do, so that the Father may be glorified in you, and that you may bear much fruit.
I have promised you My grace, in order that you may extend to others love like Mine, which flows forth in the face of hostility. When you were an enemy of God, Christ died for you. Calvary love was given not only for friends but also for enemies. I want to teach you how to love with Calvary love. Remember that I am in the midst of you when you praise Me.
Never let any kind of anxiety crowd out your praise. Do not be concerned for My reputation. I have withstood many storms, and I will survive this one. Human strivings are like the waters around Gibraltar. They have beat upon the rock, but they have not changed it. I am not disturbed, and I forbid you to be anxious. For anxiety produces tension, and tension erodes joy; and when joy is gone, victory is lost, faith is weakened, and spontaneity is destroyed.
The spirit falls ill. The salt has lost its flavor. Its savor is a saver. What can I use to preserve My work in your midst if you lose your joy? Rejoice always, said the Apostle Paul—and again I say rejoice (see Philippians 4:4). Let your stability be apparent to all, for truly, the coming of the Lord is near. Prepare yourselves, and be strong; for it is the Lord who upholds you and He it is who gives you the victory.

Sing, My children, and let the shout of praise be heard: For the Lord is mighty, and His Name is glorious.
