What a time of blessing this is when we can walk after the Lord? This is available to anyone who decides that it is impossible to walk without Jesus, who declared: I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing (John 15:5). In expressing Himself in this way, Christ knew that there would be days when many would be tested and found wanting, but if they sought Him, they would find Him and be renewed before Him (Jeremiah 29:13).

          Having the Lord walking ahead of us is all we need. He will break down the wall and shatter the bronze gates, unbreakable by the strength of man. The work will be so perfect that we will be like those who dream and we will give God true praise and gratitude for having opened the way for us. In this way, we will arrive wherever God's hand and His holy heart lead us. We will be sanctified by God's action!

           It's good to know that God will roar like a lion and prevent the enemy from deceiving us and keeping us from the Father's gaze. We will walk after the Lord and, with a clear path, we will reach the target. We need to be supported by the Almighty in order to confess that we are more than conquerors. There is nothing better than obtaining the help of the Most High. He will do the work if we only follow Him by faith!

        The children of the West, positioned to the west of Jerusalem, which symbolizes the Church of Jesus, welcome all those called by Him to be part of the invincible heavenly army. Respecting the One who has already proven His great love for humanity is one of the reasons why we can be sure of reaching the place He has determined. We speak God's will and we will hear it from Him on the Last Day: Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world (Matthew 25:34).

         Those who went after the sins of the East will sanctify themselves to follow the Man of War. Even though everything shows that we won't get there because we've done or failed to do something, let's remember that the Lord's mercies are renewed every morning (Lamentations 3.22.23). So don't stand around mourning your mistake, but confess it to the One who forgives and does not cast the past in your face (Isaiah 43:25; 1 John 1:8). Come into the Lord's presence now and resolve your situation!

           Look at what God has declared in the Scriptures. He will never fail to keep His promises. Get right with the Father and walk in His footsteps. The Lord will help you along the way, as He did with Elijah, giving you bread to sustain you, until your part in the divine work comes to an end, and that at the end of your days (1 Kings 19:4-8). It's time for you to pray and believe the Word, for It is powerful!

           Make the children of the West tremble under the hand of the Lord, who is upon you again. Your sins have been forgiven, your heart has been washed in the blood of Christ and now, with your confession of repentance, you are being sanctified for greater works. The Holy Spirit will lead you with prudence and decency in holy innocence!

           In Christ, with love,
