What would I with hold from them that walk uprightly before Me?

I go before you and prepare a path for you. My will is that you walk in that path. Within My will you are shielded from all harm. Do not be fearful when you hear the roar of the devourer. Do not turn, for I delight in those, in who perfected love has cast out all fear.

What is the mountain before you but substance of My creation. Speak to the mountain, it has no choice but to bow to My will. As said My prince Michael to Satan, "The Lord rebuke you".

Within you is Life and Resurrection if I and the Father dwell in you. If you are sealed (mark of Sonship, accepted of God, proof of being genuine) with the Holy Ghost, proof of birthright rests upon you. Who or what can resist. Doubt not that My words accomplish what it was sent forth to do. My words are life and truth to the dividing of spirit and soul.

How is it that a thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right? For you have taken Me as your shield. You have believed the promise of My words. Only those who believe will stand. But, I say this to you, do nothing before its time. Do not be moved by any flesh, but by faith alone. I take no pleasure in the death of the unrighteous, but I delight in truth, justice and the ways of peace if possible. Yet there can be no agreement with death or Belial (Satan), no covenant between spirit and flesh, no agreement between light and darkness, no communion between what is clean and what is unclean. Within Me is no variance, no tolerance for flesh or the arm of man. Life is in the Spirit, My Spirit. Do not faint or pull back, do not falter for My pleasure is in those who will not bend, who will not be broken.

The Lord gave this for understanding:

2 Samuel 12:13-23
13And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. 14Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. 15And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. 16David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. 17And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. 18And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead? 19But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. 20Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. 21Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 22And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? 23But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

David, having a heart toward God, understood the mercy of God and saw the unwavering consequence of sin. Sin brings death. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. And, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But, sin brings death. In the times to come, our understanding, in the light of the death of oh so many around us, some who we know and love, must be one of worshipping God in Spirit and in truth. We must not give in to emotion or be tempted to care for or hold to the traditions of men. What is acceptable to God is to submit our will completely, die to the flesh, knowing that He is perfect in all His ways. Thanking God for righteous judgment, for seeing with our own eyes the end of the wicked, the foolish and unbelieving. As David's example, why should we morn and fast, they are dead, while they were alive they had a chance, now I will be clean, worship God and eat for the Lord is with us.
