My children, now is not the time to allow yourself to be battle weary. I have given you numerous tools and have given you much information to keep yourself strengthened and prepared at all turns for such a time as this. I have given you a shelter in Me to run into if you need refuge. I have given you a promise to be right beside you to fight with you, for you, and even go ahead of you to prepare for victory. I have even provided the victory. All you have to do is press on through it.
You need to realize today My children that you take on more battles and fight more wars that you were not intended to fight. You take on more burdens then you were meant to bare or carry. You focus on things that are not part of the plan that I have placed in your life and these things that you take on takes you out of My will so therefore it wears you down and makes you weak.
I am bringing this to your attention today My little ones because you need to stay strengthened and know that the battles that you are to be facing are going to become worse and will require you to fight harder and be prepared at all times. The battles are going to need you to be very close to Me and you are not going to be able to have your focus on all these other distractions that you have personally taken upon yourself.
I want you today to get before My face and find out exactly where are you suppose to be in Me and what battles are you really suppose to be fighting. I want you to get before Me and be strengthened for the battles that are raging ahead and get fully prepared with scriptures from My word to use as weapons as the battles continue.
You will need scriptures from My word to press on from one level of the battle to the next. You are going to have to know who you are in Me and where you are head in Me. You cannot afford to be meddling in others battles that are not yours. No one can ride on anyone’s coat tail. All must battle for their own salvation. You must fight and not depend on someone else fighting the battles for you, nor take on others battles that I have not given you instructions to do so.
Now understand this, you will be battling to help others but only by My leading and as I instruct the Holy Spirit to help you to do so. If things become more than you can bare, you need to come to Me immediately and find out if there is something you have pick up that was not what you are to be doing. Then you have to listen to what I will have to say to you. There will be times that you just may not be fighting the way that you should be fighting.
You need to make sure at all time your ears are open and in tuned to My voice and be obedient to what I say to you. This is very crucial to your survival in these battles to continue to climb to the place that you are to be in Me.
Get before Me today and let Me speak to you about where you are right now and where you are to be and where you are headed. Let Me lighten your load and allow Me to show you the things that you are to drop and drop them. Drop them into My hands and allow Me to see that they are taken care of.
Get into My word and get prepared for the battles are tough and hard but I am warning you right now they are getting stronger and stronger. Do not be discouraged but encouraged this day because you will not be doing this alone. I will be right here every step of the way.
Let go of those things that are weighing you down and that you are fighting that is not your battles. Pick up the weapons and instructions of wars that I have given you to fight with and renew yourself in Me and be fully prepared to enter into the battles that are very close ahead. Come before Me and be ready to receive step by step, day by day instructions. Keep your strength in Me and utilize all that I have given you to use.
Deuteronomy 20:1-4 (NIV)
20 When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you. 2 When you are about to go into battle, the priest shall come forward and address the army. 3 He shall say: “Hear, Israel: Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not panic or be terrified by them. 4 For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”
Psalm 20:7 (NIV)
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
Ephesians 6:11-18 (NIV)
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 Corinthians 16:13 (NIV)
13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
Romans 13:11-14 (NIV)
11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.
Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Psalm 91 (NIV)
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
