All has not been lost. Many great and wondrous things are about to take place. Do not look at what is going on around you but look up to Me the Author and Finisher of your life. It is not over. Quit believing the lies of the enemy when he tells you that you have lost and causes you to feel like you should just give up.

When the enemy tries to do this, I want you to enter into praise and worship to Me and rejoice and make known how much you have the victory over him. I want you to stomp. I want you to shout. I want you to show the enemy that he has not won, but you have and will continue to prevail over him. The last, final bell of the fight has not rung to determine that the battle is over, so do not give up.

I want you to soak in My presence like you have never soaked before. There are wounds that needs to be deeply saturated in My love and allowing the healing to take place. Take this time to gain the strength that you need so desperately to get through each and every day. Quit leaving Me out of your schedule. Too many of you are only about your agenda and that needs to change immediately.

I see all and know all before it is about to take place, so don’t you think it is I that you should be speaking with to get prepared for what is coming? Do I not warn you ahead of time what is about to happen so that you can get prepared? The issue is too many of you waited to be obedient to what I told you to do so that you could be ready. In your mind you thought that you were going to be ok and that you could take on all that came your way. You didn’t heed My warnings. You did not immediately respond to the instructions that I gave you. Now you are trying to catch up, but the issue is the battle is already upon you.

Now quit beating yourself up. Quit hiding behind the shells and shadows of defeat and rise up and be the mighty warriors I have called you to be. Rise up and claim your victory and let Me do the deep healing that needs to take place so that you can be placed back with sure footing in Me and go forth and do all the things I have promised you that you will do for Me.

Quit isolating yourselves and see that I have placed individuals in your path to help you in this time. Do not try to get them to understand you, but you need to trust that they are placed there to help you and not hinder you. Yes I want you to depend on Me, but I also want you to allow Me to use My vessels not only to teach you, but to teach them how things work and other things that goes way beyond what your natural minds can think of.

So chin up. Get into My presence and let Me give you a good dose of My presence and heal you in the areas that are open, bleeding, bruised, and just about dead. Let Me bring life back into your very being and give you the strength to keep fighting. I have not given up on you, so don’t you give up on yourself either. Push forward knowing that you will prevail! You will come out victorious as you put the enemy back in his place, which is under your feet and enter into My peace. When you cannot stand on your feet, stand on My Word and watch the wondrous and magnificent things take place right before your eyes in your own very lives.

“Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.” (Romans 16:19-20)

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)

“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

“The LORD is my light and my salvation– whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life– of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD. Hear my voice when I call, O LORD; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior. Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. Teach me your way, O LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence. I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” (Psalm 27)
