My child, you are in a time of warfare, and the battle is heating up. There will be no sound of retreat, for the time of the end is nearing.
Your battle is for people who are fearful of My voice, those who hear only the “do not” preaching and are well-acquainted with their own weakness.
You fight against the spiritual powers of wickedness that resist My will and the heavenly principalities that influence men to spurn My redeeming love, drawing them after their own desires and appetites, ensnaring them in the cruelly confining chains of fleshly appetites and mental arrogance, bound by the very nature of selfish self-satisfaction which, once yielded to, demands total autonomy and full control over the individual's will without giving any sense of satisfaction or fulfillment.
Your standard is My demand, “Let My people go,” even as I spoke in the garden of Gethsemane, “If you seek Me, let these go their way.” For that way is one of progress into maturity, holiness, victory and glory as each is led by My Spirit into triumph over self and the carnal nature, conquering the inner land of the soul and cleansing the inner man which I have chosen to be My eternal abode.
Your protection is the purity you are given by My grace, and which is maintained by your self-constraint. It is not innocence which maintains purity, My child, for innocence is quickly lost in the battle against unchecked wickedness and unrestrained evil. Purity is established from the inside out, through the cleansing of My blood, and is not sullied by what touches you in the rescue of those mired in muck and filth.
You must maintain the spiritual purity of your heart through self-restraint when you are tempted to pursue thoughts or persist in actions. Turn instead to draw near and sharpen the clarity of your vision of Me, for the pure in heart shall see God. Thus you will be able to see Me in others as you minister to them, not through giving your own theories and opinions and experiences, but by honestly, lovingly, faithfully, sincerely and truthfully exalting Me, for then My Spirit will bear witness to the true Word you speak.
Fight faithfully, My warrior, enduring to the end, for I am with you always.
May your heart go out to those in sorrow and loss, struggling in spiritual darkness and death, as you are moved by the Father's compassion and empowered by the Spirit's anointing, to bring the Words of Life to those the world considers beyond help and in need of removal, that God may be glorified and the people filled with awe as those who receive life begin to speak words of truth and praise. Luke 7
May you have the vision to perceive the truth of the witness provided by the Spirit and the Word, during those gray times of duty when you are required to wait for the Lord, that your understanding may be corrected, broadened and opened, making the way to the Lord straighter and plainer, that you make stand firm in faith without fear of falling away. Luke 7
May you obediently follow the Lord in the path along which He guides you that you may hear the Words of Life and acknowledge the rightness of God's way, lest through disobedience from pride and standing, you end up rejecting God's purpose. Luke 7
May you accept the good counsel of God, which draws you from error into light with loving concern, that you may be a child of Wisdom, growing with insight and favor with God in the glad tidings brought by the instruction of His Word, lest you deride and vilify the grace of God. Luke 7
May you give praise to the Lord, to God your Savior, Who daily bears your burdens, for He is a God Who saves, and from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death. Psalm 68
May God give power and strength to you as you sing praise to the Lord, Who rides the ancient skies above, thundering with a mighty voice, whose majesty is over His people, for He is awesome in His sanctuary. Psalm 68
