My children, it is time to get disciplined spiritually. It is time to stop allowing so much outside chaos and distractions cause you to not keep your focus on Me and on what you are to be doing for Me and to keep walking on the correct path. You allow the enemy to take away from you too easily of the things that you are to be learning and to be applying to your lives. You allow yourself to not hold onto the teachings that you have been getting and studying.

When you are getting prepared for war or for a sport, you train, you get yourself prepared, and you stay focused on all the things that are required from you to win the victory. It is no different with your walk with Me. You need to buckle down and get your priorities in Me straight.
It is time to become serious with your walk with Me and quit playing games. It is time to realize that you cannot just come into My house and receive the knowledge that you need and let it disappear from you in matter of days. It is time to really apply these things that I have been teaching you to your lives and your ministries.

You have been allowing the enemy too much room to distract you and cause you to lose the knowledge that I have given you. You have allowed him to steal your fire and desire to follow through with what you know you are to be doing. It is time to stop and put your foot down. It is time to stop the enemy in his tracks and tell him that he is not going to steal from you any longer and he is not going to keep distracting you.
I give you words and instructions to help guide you and to prepare you for what is coming ahead. You get excited at the time and ready to do them, and then you allow the things of life to take your mind off of these things. It causes you a delay on what you are to be doing. There is no more time for delays. You cannot let these things starve and wither away from your spirit any longer. Your spirit man needs the strength and the knowledge to keep going and to stay rooted and ground in Me and in My will. It is time to keep the fire going and to not allow the flames to be dimmed.

Today, I am telling you, My children, you can no longer play around. It is time to become absolutely serious in your walk with Me. It is time for you to become serious about your training and preparation for your part in My kingdom and to be very well equip for the walk that you are on with Me.
You need to get your mind set that you are going to follow Me no matter what and do all that I am asking you to do. You must get your mind set that you are in boot camp, My boot camp. You are in training, My training. It is time for you to get your mind set that you are going to do all it takes to receive the victory at the end of the battles. It is time for you to get your mind set that you are going to become fully equipped to do the best job that you can possibly do and not settle for anything less.

To be able to do these things you are going to have to be learning and using your tools that you have received and know how to use your weapons correctly and efficiently. You are going to have to be studying very hard and applying all to your life. You are going to have to seek Me in all that you do and be completely obedient in all that I say. Today is the day to make up your mind to get serious for Me and to be the best that you can be in My kingdom. It is time to quit settling and surrendering to the enemy and be determined to get the victory and keep it. It is time to quit playing games and allowing the enemy any part in your life. Get the fight back inside of you and keep it.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NIV)
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
Psalm 23:3 (NIV)
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.

Proverbs 4:20-24 (NIV)
20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

Joshua 1:8 (NIV)
8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
