Amidst great speculation, I asked My disciples ‘Who do you say that I am?’
In a moment of revelation, Peter had faith to believe that I was the Messiah, Son of the Living God.
I still am.
This level of faith is reflected in the life of blind Bartimaeus who cried out to Me, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’ I asked him what he wanted Me to do for him and in response to his desperation for sight to be restored, I opened his blind eyes to see. My Beloved Bride, who do you say that I am and what do you want Me to do for you today?
Where you need victory in your life, know that I am the Victorious One. If you’re struggling with the guilt and shame of sin, I am your Great High Priest. If you’re sick and need health restored, I am the Lord who heals you. If the darkness is looming in, I am the Light of the World. Where you are held in oppression or addiction, I came to set the captives free. Call on the Name that is above all other names and let Me meet you in your place of need.
My Beloved Child, as you celebrate this season of advent, reflect on the words of the Prophets as they foretold of the coming Messiah who is your Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 61:1-2 (NLT)
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the broken-hearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.
He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord’s favour has come
