I hear the Spirit of the Lord say, “It’s time to rise up; it’s time to rise up. It’s time to raise your head above the parapet, to stand up for who you are. No more shrinking back. Have I not called you for such a time as this?
I have given you all that you need in my Son. You lack nothing. I give you permission to be who I have created and called you to be.
So what are you going to do?! Hold back or move forward?”
Isaiah 42:6
I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness:
I will take hold of your right hand,
I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles.
James 1:4
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
