I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron Isaiah 45:2

Don’t try to fight the enemy on your own strength, for the Lord will do that for you with every power He has. If there are crooked ways in your life, and I’m sure there is a couple, He said He’d make them straight. Allow God to fulfill His promise, and this way, even if it takes some time and some rocks need to be removed out of the way, He shall destroy all bronze gates and cut the bars of iron.

When the Lord most high has finished His first work, He will grant us the hidden treasures. The truth is that there’s a lot more to the gospel than we imagine – things that the servants of the past sought to know, but they weren’t allowed to. Life with Jesus is a lot more interesting; it is the purest spiritual reality. The Lord has made us know the Father, and through that, He has granted us with treasures that make us complete.

Besides these treasures, there are also the buried riches. When the divine grace reaches you, the Lord grants you the opportunity of straightening your path and lifting your head to look to what He has put in front of you. Without taking your eyes from Jesus, you will have access to the riches of the divine grace. With the presence of the Lord most high in your life, you will assume everything that is already yours in Christ.

All this is given to you with a purpose: to understand that He is the Lord, the God of Israel. The moment you understand this, your life is completely transformed. God doesn’t call you silly names, like the devil does; He doesn’t call you a defeated person, but He calls you by name, as an overcomer. Therefore do not be weakened by the everyday challenges, but live the intense and abounding Word that the Lord most high sends your way.

The Lord does all this because of His son, who loved you and me up to the point of dying to buy us back to the Father. He gave you an overcomer’s name, and a victorious last name. You will begin to know Him in the same proportion as when you start trusting His Word. The more you enter the Lord’s presence, the more you will be surrounded by it; this way, you will be equipped to be different from those who are called wicked.

The eternal God wants you to know Him as your Lord. Don’t accept the thought that He can’t give you what He promises. The Lord most high says that He can do a lot more than that, for He will fulfill even the desires of your heart (Ps. 37:4). No one can stop Him from acting on your behalf. The Lord promises that He will give you the necessary authority. All this so that you may know Him as the God who loves you and who is willing to be alongside with you in everything.

In Christ, with love,
