Psalm 52:7-8 declares,
"7 See, this is the man who made not God his strength (his stronghold and high tower) but trusted in and confidently relied on the abundance of his riches, seeking refuge and security for himself through his wickedness. 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in and confidently rely on the loving-kindness and the mercy of God forever and ever."

God is separating and positioning those who He can trust; those who have received His anointing, those who are yielded.

Do not fear, and do not trust in the fruits of your job and career. Confide and trust and rely on the Lord for surely My mercy and love endures forever.
Separate yourselves from the world and they will be drawn to you as the dry ground thirsts for the rain. Their wicks are consumed before Me without the oil you carry. Pour out the oil and I will supply more. Do not regard your current circumstances as a curse, you are blessed- what you do to them, you do to Me. Pouring out your oil to them is like pouring your oil over Me. Do you want to bring glory to Me?
Stand and trust in Me. Declare your testimony and set forth a banner in your midst, carry the standard before you so that I can draw them to you. No more shall the people ask: Where is your God?

Was Christ not beaten?
Was He not pierced and crushed by the stones hurled from your heart?
Was the blood He cried not enough?
Was the blood He shed not enough?
Did He not cleanse and anoint you as your spear, your stick, your rod, pierced through to His heart?
Was it not enough?

Do not fear.

Did I not give more oil to the widow and her son when they poured oil out to my prophet?
Did I not provide manna- and quail to the Children?!

Do not withhold.

Lord I pray that I may be filled with the full, deep and clear knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom with comprehensive insight into Your ways and purposes, and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things- that I would live and conduct myself in a manner worthy of You, fully pleasing to You and desiring to please You in all things. That I would bear fruit in every good work and steadily grow and increase in and by the knowledge of God.

I pray that I would be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of Your glory, that I can exercise every kind of endurance and patience with joy.

I give You thanks because you have made me qualified and fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints in the Light.

Today I consecrate my life to you that I may remain faithful by leaning my complete personality on You in absolute trust and confidence in Your power, wisdom and goodness and of the love which you have and show to me.
