The many regrets of your past
The decisions of regret
These things, all, I say to you
Have been redeemed by My blood

The choices that you lament over
I used them to shape your character
I took you from the valley of your decision
to the high place of My Presence

Fear not your places of barrenness
They shall burst forth with the fruit of the Spirit
For it is in those places of desperation
That you are God formed
Tempered in the furnace of affliction
and fashioned into a vessel of honor

There are none righteous no not one
All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God
But I have redeemed you
and made you a carrier of My Glory

Do not look back
On your perceived failures
But look upon Me the lover of your soul
And rejoice at such a great salvation

I say to you
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Lift up your voices and
Speak to your giants

They are just a residual memory
of the sway they once had in your life
Take every thought captive
Bring it into obedience

Declare your redemption
As a blood-bought child of the King
And watch the phantoms of past strongholds flee
Now press on toward your destiny in Me

Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper." (2 Chron 20:20b)

"Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy? (AMO 3:7-8)
