My children, today, I want you to get ready to take a stand and to fight on the offensive line in battle. I have warned you. I have told you that you are going to have to be prepared for what is coming. You are going to have to be able to hold onto all that I have given you to use and to learn to use it.

It is time to quit letting the enemy make the first move. It is time to stand up and really fight. It is time to put a stop to all the things that enemy is trying to do to you. It is time to put a stop to these things before the enemy can even plant a seed or get in for a second to cause any damage. Too much time is being wasted on the damages that the enemy keeps doing. Now it is time to be on the alert and ready to stand up and not allow the enemy to trample on your territory and to stop you from being alive and serving Me. It is time that you tell the enemy what he is not going to do and stick to it. It is time to quit caving in after a few rounds. It is time to proceed and continue to fight the fight. It is time to see each battle to the end and be prepared for the next.

The best place to get prepared for the battles that you are going to face is by seeking Me in your prayer closets and in My word. Many of you have slacked in both of these areas. This is what has allowed the enemy to get his foot into your life and to cause you so much trouble. You became lazy and not staying alert. Now is the time to correct this issue and put your foot down. Now is the time to use your situations and circumstances to be a testimony for Me on your faith, love, and persistence that you walk in to overcome all the things that you face. Now is the time to keep your focus on Me so that you will know what moves to make before absolutely any damage can be done or anything can be hindered or tainted.
Do not become comfortable and easily persuaded by the enemy. Now is the time to want more. Now is the time to want all the promises that I have given you and to be ready to receive your blessings and keep them. Now is the time to want to go out and do all the things that you are to be doing for Me. Now is the time to be interceding for all the souls that are to be saved. It is time to take a stand and say enough is enough and no more will you tolerate any of the things that enemy is trying to do and be determined to put a stop to anything that he tries to get by you. Be ready to make the first move when I give you the exact orders to do so.

In the meantime continue to dress yourself not only in fruitfulness, the Holy Spirit, and the armor, but to also put on your faith, love, and walk in the salvation that I have given you. Use all these tools that I have given you and take a stand once and for all. Stay alert and be ready to fight and win these battles that you will be facing and ready to receive more than you could have ever imagined and to see new souls come in and be drastically changed because you have become willing to take the stand and to use your time the way it should be used.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NIV)
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
