As a child of God, a member of Adonai's chosen family, you have the strength and power of the Almighty at your disposal. He has given you the power and authority of a prince in His Kingdom and through these, you prevail against your enemies.

Because you are born again of the Spirit of God, you are now becoming progressively more like the Lord Jesus Christ, who as the Lamb of God, had the might to defeat the kingdom of darkness. As a ram drives its enemies away with force and heavy blows, so Yeshua battered down the gates of hell. Now, you, as a member of Christ's church, know that the gates of hell cannot prevail against you.

However, as a human being, your strength is not unlimited. You need to take time for refreshing. Waiting patiently on God, tarrying in His presence, is the best way to experience this renewal. As you wait, you will find that the Lord will renew your strength. He will take your weakness and exchange it for His power.

When you maintain your hope and trust in the Lord Jehovah, He continues to extend His kindness, favor, and mercy to you. The Lord your God sees you as equal to His Son through the finished work of the cross; you are a joint heir with Jesus. In your humanity, you are still an inferior creation, but spiritually you are on the same level as your Savior. However, because of your human weakness, the Lord God daily bestows His grace and mercy on you.

Through Him, you have received deliverance and redemption from sin. Now it is God's will to give you increase and abundance in every respect. He always sees you enlarged and excelling. He desires to fill every area of lack, for He has heaps of treasures stored up for you alone. His exceeding riches are at your disposal, to multiply and nourish you. He wants you to have more than enough to supply your needs and to share with others.
