My church is going to have to learn to stand on their own feet and not allow every wind to knock them over. It is time to put your foot down and say enough is enough. And mean every word and follow through. Many of My church has said many words but there has been no follow through. It is time to be about the truth and put actions behind your words.

My church must quit allowing the enemy to win at every turn and pull every string. It is time to cut the cords to the enemy and to the flesh. It is time that you quit looking at yourself and your selfish needs and be about what I have told you to do. It is time to be the strong towers that I have called you to be. It is time to stand and fight for those who I have placed ahead of you and not allow the enemy to use you to come against them. When you come against them you are coming against Me and are placing your feet in the danger of the enemies territory.

Yes, I know the battles you face are hard and the fight is intense. But I have fully equipped you with all that you need. The victory is already yours so why do you continue to hand it over to the enemy and give up?

I have not brought up wimps but great and mighty warriors. It is time to take a stand and fight. I am right here fighting the battles with you and for you, but you have to quit putting down the sword. I am telling you this day to pick up your sword and use it.

Did you think the enemy was going to sit back and just let you go right into My Will and do all that I have called you to do? Did you think he was going to just give you clear access to tear down his kingdom? Did you think the enemy was going to let you rise up and come against him without a fight?

You have underestimated your opponent. But you have also underestimated the authority that I have given to you. Rise up and take a stand. Tell the enemy you are not going to quit and mean it. Come out of the holes that you keep hiding in and really rise up and take a stand. Don’t just mean it for a season and give up when you think you have failed or you are come against by the enemy. Let your yes be yes and your no be no without wavering.

The enemy only has as much power as you allow him to have over you. The moment you grasp this truth the sooner you will see the victory come forward in your life.

Soldiers stand up and rise. Take your rightful place and quit throwing the pity parties. Quit stopping in your tracks and keep moving forward no matter what the enemy throws your way.

Draw your swords and fight the enemy. Put your foot down once and for all. I have equipped you for such a time as this. So get yourself up, dust yourself off, and arm yourself to fight.

Get rid of your selfish temper tantrums and be serious about My business and not focused on yourself. Get your eyes off yourself and on Me. There is more to the picture than what you see. As you stand up and yield to Me completely and follow through with action I will show you more of what is really going on.

Stand up and fight. Keep your victory! Prepare the way for all I am about to do. Prepare the way for the souls and harvest that is coming in. Fight, My children, fight! Do not give up but take action! Rejoice and see that the victory is already yours!
