My children, today, I want you to realize how exposed you have allowed yourself and your family to be to the enemy. Would you send your child outside without shoes on their feet or a shirt on their back? Would you go outside unprepared with no coat in the freezing weather or walk out in a bathing suit in the snow? If you were to do these things there would be consequences and trouble coming your way along with being very uncomfortable wishing you would have been prepared and dressed appropriately. This is what you are doing when you have not clothed yourself and your family in the things that I have given you to use to protect yourself and clothe yourself in.

You are leaving yourself wide open when you have been neglectful in making sure that you have been properly clothed. You make sure that you are properly clothed in the natural, but you have been very neglectful in the spiritual clothing. You may put on the armor that I have given you, but are you putting on the rest of the things that I have given you to be clothed in? Are you clothing yourself in kindness, love, humility, patience, long suffering, compassion, and gentleness that I have given you? If you are not walking in My peace and rest that I have given you to walk in then you are not properly clothed. If you are not walking with a backbone of steel and a forehead of flint you are not fully clothed. If you are not inviting the Holy Spirit to be with you and in you, then you are not fully clothed. So I am going to ask you again, are you fully clothing yourself in the things that I have given you to protect yourself from the enemy?

I have given these things to you for the purpose of making things easier in order to fight and protect yourself from the enemy and to walk in the fullness of what I have for you. I have many anointing that I have been preparing you for. It is like a cake that has been baking and the aroma is in the air. You only have a few more minutes until it is done and it so crucial to make sure not to take it out too soon. But then to keep the cake fresh and protected you have to make sure you have the proper icing and the right amount; and the proper casing and cover to keep the cake from drying out. This is exactly what is necessary with your clothing and your armor. Your anointing is the cake that has been baking in the oven. To keep this anointing fresh and protected you must be walking in all that I have given you to walk in. You must fully be clothed and coated with the layers that I have given you to have. You must dress yourself in the casing, the protection of the armor that I have given you to put on.

Without doing this each and every day, you are exposing yourself to all kinds of things that can taint you and cause you and the anointing that I am getting you ready for to be vulnerable and damaged. It is time to walk in these things. It is time to quit forgetting the things that I have given you and put them to use. You need these things because the enemy has come very strong and is very determined to take all of My children away and is just waiting for an opening. Do not make this so easy for him. Do not allow yourself to be open and exposed when you can prevent these things. Get before Me, My children, and let Me show you what I have to give you to prevent these issues. Let Me show you what you can do to protect yourself from the enemy.

You have allowed yourself to be blinded and lazy for too long. It is time to open your eyes and wake up to what you are to be doing and actually do it. There are many of you My children that are going to start traveling for Me and you are going to have to make sure you know how to properly dress yourself while you are out. You are going to have to make sure that everything in your house is in order. You are not going to have the same chance as My servant, Elisha did and be able to do this when the time comes to move. You must be willing to give up all your earthly possessions and be able to go when I say “It is time to go”. You must be seeking My face to know what to pack and what to prepare for in the natural as well as the spiritual. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to already be fully dressed spiritually and fully comfortable and use to the clothing spiritually so that it will become strange to you if you are not walking in it.

It is time to learn to walk in the proper clothing and protection that I have given you. It is time to learn how to truly guard yourself in Me against the enemy so that you can walk in the fullness of your calling in Me. Not only should you clothe yourself and family but to clothe your path in the angels that I have given charge over you as well. There is so much that you should be doing to be prepared each and every day and to be fully dressed and protected, and this is why you need to seek My face today. Seek Me and allow Me to show you what you need to be doing. Let Me show you what you need to be protected, and fully clothed with. I am willing to show you, all you have to do is seek Me and be open to what I have to tell you.

26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

Colossians 3:12-17 (NIV)
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)
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.

1 Peter 5:8 (NIV)
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Psalm 91:11 (NIV)
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
