Today, My children, I want you to examine your mornings. I want you to realize how important it is to wake up and begin your day in the right steps and how much of an effect it really has on you for the rest of the day. The attitude you have, the way you get yourself physically and spiritually prepared, and how much you focus on the right or wrong things really has an effect on how you will handle the day that you are about to face.
In the mornings, you need to wake up and spiritually get yourself prepared for the day as you get yourself physically prepared. You need to realize how important it is to have the joy bubbling up inside of you to protect you from all the negativity that comes your way and it keeps you from falling into a bad atmosphere that like to surround you for the remainder of the day or until you finally fight it off.

Your time is very important, and it is very short. It is time to put a stop to all the extra things that have been taking you off your focus on Me and causes you to not move forward as you should. The enemy knows that joy is your strength, so of course he will attack you in this area from the very beginning. It is up to you to decide that he is not going to do this anymore. You need to realize that if you have a cloudy mind from the start of your day that it affects your decision making and it also causes your connection with Me to be muffled. As you start waking up and making sure that you receive your joy for the day and your proper attitude and invite the Holy Spirit with you, then you will begin to see a transformation in your day.
You need to be properly clothed spiritually as you are clothed naturally. You would not go to work half dressed. You would not go into battle with only half your armor. You would not let a doctor do surgery on you with only half of the tools provided. You should also think of it the same way when you are getting ready spiritually. Without being dressed spiritually you leave yourself open to attacks and extra things that you should not have to take time out to fight. Without making sure that all the proper tools are available and ready then how are you going to do the job correctly or expect the right results. You need to be making sure you have these things in order and to be walking in My spirit so that you are open to hear and know what My will is for you that day. If you are not listening and being consumed with My spirit to be able to receive your instructions, then how do you know what path you should be on and what is expected of you that day.

There are many things that you can avoid and stop yourself from having to fight when you do not need to but it requires you to become disciplined to follow instructions and to be willing to do all that I have told you to do. It is time to quit allowing yourself to be wide open to attacks when you can use the tools and knowledge that I have already given you and provided for you in My word. It is time to use the protection properly and to quit only using them when you feel like it. I have given you these things to be used daily and in this time and hour you cannot keep affording not to use these things that I have given you.

Allow yourself to begin this new beginning in your life. Take this step in Me and watch miracles begin to happen. This is a time of new beginnings and walk in the things that I have given you to walk in. All it takes is making the first step in faith and to begin to be obedient. There are many battles out there that you are going to have to face and you need to stop wasting your strength on the ones that are not necessary, and you have already received instructions on how to deal with them. It is time to start these new steps from the beginning and watch how much you will be refreshed, renewed, and prepared to walk out your day according to My will and see how much you will begin to accomplish in Me and to begin to walk in your full destiny in Me.
