Psalm 51:10,13 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me… 13 Then I will teach transgressors Thy ways, and sinners will be converted to Thee.

John 13:14-15 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.

May you return to the Lord Almighty, leaving each practice, each manner of thinking, each behavior that goes its own way and exalts itself against obedience to Christ, for then you will find that the Lord will return to you, drawing you closer as each stronghold is overcome and each independent trait is submitted to the Lord, for His words and decrees are eternal and stand established in justice in heaven as well as in earth. Zechariah 1

May you receive the kind and comforting words of the Lord after a season of discipline and a time of training, for He will return with mercy and build up with eternal stones what He has torn down of wood, hay, and stubble, and you will again see your life overflowing with His blessings of spiritual abundance and the fruitful harvest of the Spirit. Zechariah 1

May you rest assured that those spiritual powers who afflicted you, and influenced those around you to disdain and torment you during the discipline of the Lord, will be themselves afflicted and covered with shame so that they cannot come against any other child of God again. Zechariah 1

My child, I have given you that which is most precious to Me, My only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ. He with Whom I have had unbroken fellowship through eternity, He to Whom My heart is in unity, He in Whom My Spirit resides completely, He is the One Who has willingly obeyed My commandments fully and has been judged worthy to be My living Word, by Whom creation was spoken into existence and through Whom you have been given eternal life as by faith you have received Him and been renewed, revived, and regenerated.
He is the sacrifice of My covenant with you. His willing obedient life and death in the flesh has sealed the everlasting, divine, reliable, dependable, trustworthy, unfailing, unquestionable, unchanging, immutable, unbreakable promise to YOU which I have spoken with My own lips.
By My covenant of adoption with you, I make it possible for your release from the impoverishment of your oppression into the abundance of the Spirit that is My gift prepared for you.
By My covenant, the brokenness of your feelings and your thoughts, caused by the lies of the enemy, can be bound up and healed, bringing wholeness to your life.
By My covenant, the chains of oppression, which have held you back from what I created you for, fall away and you emerge from the imprisoning darkness that has hidden My truth from you, changing your mourning and depression into dancing for joy in My presence.
Come to Me, My child, in celebration of your acceptance through My Son, Jesus Christ, into your loving family!

May you draw near to God, learning to dwell by praise and in faith in the heavenlies, that you will be ready for the time when the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for that is when he who accuses the brethren day and night before God is hurled down to earth, having been overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony, since you, following Jesus' example, no longer regard your life enough to shrink back from death to self. Revelation 12

May you turn to the Lord for rescue when evil men of violence devise wicked plans in their hearts and stir up war against you every day with tongues sharp as a serpent's and the poison of vipers on their lips, for He will keep you from the hands of the wicked and protect you from those who set traps along the path to snare your feet in the cords of their net. Psalm 140

May you proclaim to the Lord that He is your God as you cry for mercy to the Sovereign Lord, your strong deliverer, Who shields your head in the day of battle, that He would not grant the wicked their desires or let their plans succeed, lest they grow proud. Psalm 140

May you know that the Lord secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy, for then the righteous will praise His name and the upright will live before Him, while the heads of those who surround you to cause you trouble will be covered with the trouble their lips have caused, being thrown into the pits, never to rise, as disaster hunts down men of violence, not letting slanderers be established in the land. Psalm 140
