Know My Word, My child, study it, learn it, embrace it, live it. Do not fear My Word but allow it to have its way in your heart and your mind. Allow it to complete its work in your life.
Although it is sharper than a double-edged sword, although it divides asunder soul and spirit, although it discerns and judges the thoughts and intents of the heart, it is wielded by My Spirit for your benefit, My dear one, and guided by My love for you. It is not for your harm, but for your eternal benefit that pain comes, as separation from harmful things, damaging relationships, troublesome ties, impairing perspectives, results as My Truth sets you free from the shackles of the enemy and the chains of his lies.
As you stay in My Word, consuming it, digesting the meaning and absorbing the principles I reveal through it, you gain strength to stand and resist the attacks as the enemy of your soul seeks to recapture you through wrong thoughts and evil intents.
Once again, My Word cleaves the shrouds of darkness and My light separates day from night, life from death. As it happens in your mind, so it happens in your life and you find a separation takes place in the activities you follow and the places you go and the fellowship you partake.
Let My Word be your guide, My chosen one, for it will draw you ever closer to Me.

May the Lord not hide His face from you but listen to your cry for help, for He does not despise or disdain the suffering of the afflicted one. Psalm 22
May you understand that your ways are in full view of the Lord, and He examines all your paths. Proverbs 5:21
