Today, My children, I want you to truly and completely cloth yourselves in the armor that I have given you. I want you to get completely prepared to battle the enemy. Get your swords sharpened, your helmet strengthened, and make sure that your armor fits the way it is made to fit.

Without My armor you are very vulnerable to allowing the enemy to come in like a flood and bring fear into your life. He will use this fear to destroy you and bring you away from Me. Now is not the time to let your guard down. With the devastation and destruction that is coming, he will use fear to pull you under. Put on My armor that I have given you to protect yourself from him and to be able to go into the battles that are before you and know that I, your father, will keep you safe and will be with you at all times.

I want you to understand that it is time to start fighting in the spirit more than ever and even in new ways. It is time to start putting the tools that I have taught you into fruition and stand on the solid foundation that you have been building in Me. It is time to take action in your prayer closets and truly go into battle and truly use all that you have been given instead of just excepting things or giving up or expecting others to do it for you. You must fight for your own salvation, safety, and walk in Me.

You must close all doors to your doubt and unbelief and allow your faith in Me to completely take over. You do not have any room for doubt or unbelief that you will do all that I said you will do in My name and My son’s or it will cause you to fall. You must know who you are in Me. You cannot attach yourself onto someone else and expect them to carry you anymore. You have been given the tools and the instructions. It is time for you to use them yourself. Your strength is in Me not in another.

You must get your mind completely renewed and made like My son’s. Your mind is where the enemy fights you the most. This is why I have given you a helmet of salvation. Because My son’s blood the enemy cannot penetrate or destroy. Your mouth is what the enemy will use against you trying to destroy you with your words and if you do not get your mind renewed your thoughts will come out of your mouth and the enemy will be there to use them against you.

Your thoughts cannot be ones of this world. You must stay focused on Me and of the spiritual things. You cannot be wondering or pondering on what others are doing and getting away with or wanting to see what you can get away with. You cannot judge or condemn others for their wrong doings. Trust Me, My children I do see and My judgment is here and will be coming to pass very shortly. This is why I need you to have your eyes and ears open to My voice so you will know when to intercede, when to put it in My hands and leave it alone, and when to shake off the dust and move on and what will be done, will be done.

You must completely die out to all your sin nature. Die out to your flesh daily and invite the Holy Spirit to be manifested in you every day. Ask for My son’s light to be shown that you will be a true vessel that I can work through. Yes, you are all sinners and come short of My glory, but that is why I gave the sacrifice of My Son; to be used to cleanse and purify you to make you righteous in My eyes. Use this thing that I am telling you against the enemy. Do not give into his lies.

As you put on My armor, you will be able to see through the enemy’s lies that he tries to feed you every day. Really get to know what is My armor and why it is there for you to use. Do not let it become dusty and bagged up and become unused. Put it on daily, polish it up, and strengthen it in Me and in My word and through your praises and worship to Me.

Allow Me today to show you the full use of My armor. Allow Me to further your armor in Me by allowing Me to do more work on you. I want to remove the blinders and cloudy vision from your eyes. So you can see where you are going and which path to take to victory. I want to unclog and open your spiritual ears to hear My voice and not question if it is Me. You will have to be able to hear My instructions on when to stay still, when to battle, when to run, and when to move forward. I want you to allow Me to cleanse your mouths that they will only speak of My truth. I want you to allow Me to open your hearts to truly understand what is going on and not by what is going on not just in the natural realm, but what is truly going on in the spiritual realm.

The things you see here on this earth are really things that are going on in the spiritual realm because the evil has been allowed to manifest itself. You will not be able to survive or fight with earthly things. You will only be able to survive and fight with what I have been training you with and been giving you to use.

Many are looking at the flesh that is bringing these things forth and that is what will cause many to fall. But My children, you must understand this is a spiritual thing because it will be the only way you can keep a heart of compassion to want to bring the soul to Me. You must allow Me to open the heart and allow Me to love through you because if you only use your understanding and look at the natural your heart will become bitter and hatred towards the person and not want to do what I have called you to do, which is to bring these souls to the cross.

Today, My children, put on the armor that I have given you. Allow Me to give you the extended armor of new eyes to see, new ears to hear, a mouth that is cleansed, and a new heart that is open for Me to use.

As you do this you will start to see and understand more clearly the things that I have been telling you and instructing you to do. It’s time to start fighting, My children. Fight with what you have been given so far. But also know that I will be giving you more in the very short seasons ahead. There is no more looking back or moving backwards. It’s time to march and move forward. Take My hand this day and allow Me to do these works that I need to do on you. And always make sure you are clothed in My armor that I have given to you and come to understanding on how to use it.

The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
