God made you the way that you are, you are tough as a boot. You are, you’d rather fight than switch—and God made you that way. Everything that He does is by beautiful design, and the Lord established you because of what is in your heart and what he deposited in your heart for a specific work and there’s a strength in you that is from the Lord. Now see if the enemy could get hold of that strength he would turn it and he would pervert it and turn it into something that would be destructive, but quite frankly, there is a real pillar of strength that God established in you for the house of God and for the body of Christ. There’s a strength and a stability, and you might say “Yeah, but I don’t know that I feel . . .” I’m just telling you what I see by the spirit, I see a depth in your spirit, I see an anointing in your spirit, and a grace about you. The strength that you have, is the strength that God deposited for other people. See the blessing of Abraham is not just that you are going to get a blessing . The blessing of Abraham is Thou shalt BE a blessing. So the blessing was given in behalf of establishing the covenant, that people could receive from the covenant through that blessing. So God has anointed you and deposited a strength with in you. There’s steel laid in your character. There’s a toughness about the core of your being. God made you that way. It’s a strength that is used for the body of Christ and to bring deliverance. You are going to be someone who will wade in and just scrap until ain’t nobody standin’ left. But God made you that way. On behalf of those, how many in the world has no one to stand up for them? No one to plead their cause? No one to say “This is the way”? No one, as a matter of fact, all of their life, all they’ve been told was the fact that they’ ain’t any good’ and they ‘won’t amount to anything’. But you’re not going to be like that, you are going to be a strength and a pillar to those that are round about you. And God is going to raise you up as a strength and a pillar n the house of the Lord and in the Kingdom of God and you’re going to do some mighty things. Don’t try to be like everybody else, as a matter of fact you can’t be, it would drive you crazy. And as a matter of fact, other people being the way they are kind of drives you crazy. But I’m just telling you, you be true to you. You be the way you are, but be that way with the love of God toward people. Let the strength be displayed through love. When the strength of God that He deposited in you is established and expressed through love it will always bring deliverance to people that are round about you. And you’ll become like a shelter that when the storm comes, people will run to, to hide under the shelter that God’s provided in you. So I just speak a release to you, that I want to say, Feel Good About What’s In You, and realize that God didn’t make junk. God has established you and you say “Well, I’m not like everybody . . .” Well, you’re not supposed to be like everybody else. God made you specifically the way you are cause He likes you. He likes you. And I’m just telling you that the blessing of God is upon you and I’m just praying right now that the seasons that are before you will be very fruitful and that you will be a pillar, that you will be a strength in the house of God. That your strength would be established and expressed through love. Love works no ill toward anyone, but love is always expressed in reaching out, in covering , in loving, in ministering, even in rebuking. I can see you’ve got the ability to rebuke. You can rebuke if you have to. It’s there. But that’s fine, sometimes people need rebuked. But you rebuke because you love them, because you love them. And I just want to say that the hand of God is upon you and you are going to move into a powerful time of awareness of who you are. And I’m telling you somethin’, there is something great in you. I am a treasure hunter, I’m tellin’ ya. I am Indiana Jones in the Spirit. And there is a treasure in you, there is a treasure in you. And I just want to say in the name of Jesus, that you’re going to rise up and you are going to be powerful in the kingdom of God. You’re going to be powerful, so I bless you and I bless your house. I bless your house. I just pray that you sleep well and that your sleep be sweet. I pray that you walk without the heaviness of pressure, of anxiety, or of fear. But that you will walk in confidence, that you will walk in stability, and that you will walk in a surety that the word of God is true. And that the relationship with God is working through you and flowing through you. So I just bless you, I bless you in the name of the Lord. And I speak blessing to this house, you’re going to be a strong house. Strong house. I just bless you in the name of the Lord.
