Dear Daughter,

Overcome.

1 John 5:4

English Standard Version

⁴ For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

2 Peter 1:5

The Passion Translation

⁵ So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness, 

and to goodness add understanding,

Wow! What a statement, our faith overcomes the world, our faith. Jesus has provided now we put our faith in place and the battle is won. Worship, praise, pray and celebrate like it is already done. Bring heaven down to earth because they want to join in the party we are having. It also gets the devil confused when he is throwing things at us and we continue to praise our God. Stand up, be strong and very courageous for our Lord God is with us.

Devote yourself.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Hiding.

Jeremiah 23:24 ESV

²⁴ Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.

Luke 8:47 TPT

⁴⁷ When the woman realized she couldn’t hide any longer, she came and fell trembling at Jesus’ feet. Before the entire crowd she declared, “I was desperate to touch you, Jesus, for I knew if I could just touch even the fringe of your garment I would be healed.”

We cannot hide from God almighty. Whether we find a secret place or we are hiding in a crowd God sees us. We are individual and unique so we stand out to God. We have each been created for our own purpose. No one else can do what God has called me to do and no one else can do what God has called you to do. We need to stop running and embrace what God has prepared for us.

Stop hiding God can see you and is patiently waiting to embrace you.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Established.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 ESV

³ But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.

Colossians 2:7 TPT

⁷ Your spiritual roots go deeply into his life as you are continually infused with strength, encouraged in every way. For you are established in the faith you have absorbed and enriched by your devotion to him!

Rooted, grounded and standing on a firm foundation. No half measures with Jesus. When the roots of a plant go deep, they always have access to the food and water they need. Because we are rooted in Jesus we always have access to the food and water we need. We always have access to the strength and faith that we need every day. Stay connected, stay true, stay pliable, stay ready.

We are enriched by Jesus.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Stand out.

Titus 2:7 ESV

⁷ Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity,

Proverbs 10:9 TPT

⁹ The one who walks in integrity
    will experience a fearless confidence in life,
    but the one who is devious
    will eventually be exposed.

Having integrity is as important today as it ever has been. There is not much honesty in this world, so we will stand out from the crowd. The world should be able to tell that we are different. We can bring Jesus into every part of our lives and live as He lived. In all our business and lives we should have integrity and dignity, we are children of a living, loving God.

Never forget who you are.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Breathe. 

2 Timothy 3:16 ESV

¹⁶ All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

Psalm 13:3 TPT

³ Take a good look at me, Yahweh, my God, and answer me!
    Breathe your life into my spirit.
    Bring light to my eyes in this pitch-black darkness
    or I will sleep the sleep of death.

The Word of God was spoken with the breath of God. The Word became alive with the breath of God. Now God has breathed life into us. The Word will bring life to us and shape us into the image of Jesus. The breath of God living in us restores us, heals us, comforts us, energises us and grows us. The Word of God brings light to our darkness.

Keep standing God is breathing life into you.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter.

Overcome.

1 John 5:4 ESV

⁴ For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

Hebrews 11:1 TPT

11 Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.

Our faith brings victory because it brings our hopes into reality. Jesus overcame the world and through faith so can we. Believe in Jesus, believe in Holy Spirit who lives in us, believe in ourselves. We are to see what we are hoping for in the Spirit before it comes to pass. So, we need to see our victory, we need to see that we are out the other side of this challenge.

Stand on the Word of God it will come to pass.

Your loving sister Amanda.

18th January 2024

Dear Daughter,

Goodness.

Romans 8:28 ESV

²⁸ And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Hebrews 1:3 TPT

³ The Son is the dazzling radiance of God’s splendor, the exact expression of God’s true nature—his mirror image! He holds the universe together and expands it by the mighty power of his spoken word. He accomplished for us the complete cleansing of sins, and then took his seat on the highest throne at the right hand of the majestic One.

If the universe is held together by the hands of Jesus, then He can work everything for our good. Jesus has taken His place so that we can be restored to the image of God. We are blessed beyond measure. Let us line up our words with Jesus The Word of God and watch the world around us change. We have everything that we need in Jesus.

Stand strong, stand tall, stand firm, Jesus is coming.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Path.

Jeremiah 6:16 ESV

¹⁶ Thus says the Lord:
“Stand by the roads, and look,
    and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way is; and walk in it,
    and find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

Jude 24 TPT

²⁴ Now, to the one with enough power to prevent you from stumbling into sin and bring you faultless before his glorious presence to stand before him with ecstatic delight,

We are to walk in the good way and find rest for our soul. Yes, we can do it because Jesus living inside of us will ‘prevent us from stumbling.’ What an amazing promise to stand on. We do make mistakes, we do go off the path but Jesus is right there to help us find our way. Focus on Jesus and we will not get lost, He will carry us through.

Stand before Him with ecstatic delight.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Resist.

James 4:7 TPT

⁷ So then, surrender to God. Stand up to the devil and resist him and he will turn and run away from you.

1 Peter 5:9 ESV

⁹ Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.

We are not alone in this fight. We all have to learn to resist temptation in one form or another. We all have to learn to surrender to God. The more we surrender to God the easier it will be to resist temptation. The more we allow our spirit to connect with Jesus the less our flesh will have a say. Our flesh may kick and scream for a while but it will settle down. Do not give up the fight.

Stand firm in faith knowing our God is the God of the impossible.

Your loving sister Amanda.

15th November 2023

Dear Daughter,

Stand.

2 Thessalonians 3:5

⁵ May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

Romans 16:25

²⁵ I give all my praises and glory to the one who has more than enough power to make you strong and keep you steadfast through the promises found in the wonderful news that I preach; that is, the proclamation of Jesus, the Anointed One. This wonderful news includes the unveiling of the mystery kept secret from the dawn of creation until now.

Jesus is steadfast and true so we can be too. It is time to stand and keep standing until the battle is complete. We know that we have the victory. We know that Jesus has completed His work and lives in us. It is time for us to take our place and be counted as His.  We are strong daughters of the living God born and designed on purpose.

Choose to take your stand, in this time, in this place.

Your loving sister Amanda.
