My children, I am in the process of placing and building up My pillars in the church. My pillars are going to have to have great strength and be able to carry heavy burdens and loads as people come running to them, searching for the strength and safety of Me. They are going to have to walk in the spirit even more so than others. They are going to have to help support My church and to not fall when the winds and storms come. They must be firmly placed on Me as their foundation.
Now is the time that My pillars need to take their place and be ready to do the work that needs to be done to finish preparing My church for the things that are at hand and to be ready to stand at all costs. They are going to have to get prepared to carry the load and to hold up those who will not be able to get through the coming storms on their own. You are going to have to be able to guide these people by My Holy Spirit and to carry the wisdom that they are looking for to bring them ever so closer to Me.
The pillars are placed in My church so that My church does not fall. In this time the enemy is trying to destroy My church and I am making My church firmly rooted and supported so that he will not receive the victory. It is time that order comes into My church and everyone is put in the positions that they are to be in so that My church will stand and can be the shelter that I have called it to be in Me.
My pillars have withstood many tough test and trials. Some in which others will never be able to understand or have to go through. This is because My pillars have to know what it is like to stand when everything else around you is crumbling down and falling down. My pillars are going to have to stand and be able to hold up no matter what. You will have to understand that circumstances are not always about you and that you must endure them and stay strong. You, as pillars, have to know what walking in 100% faith really is.
Those of you who have been called to be mighty pillars in My church and strong towers for others to run into needs to come to an understanding today that the things that you have had to endure has been part of the plan all along. You need to understand and accept the fact that some of what you have gone through had nothing to do with you but to teach you to stand and to be strong and to have faith. You are going to need this strength to get through the darkness and to keep My church standing when the storms are raging and others come into it for protection and to be covered from the storms.
You are going to have to be able to provide a path to Me so that they can receive a peace of mind from Me for to those who feel that there is no hope and that there is no way that things are going to work out. You are going to have to encourage those who see only what is going on around them. You are going to have to stand and be able to give and be an example of what it is like to stand and stand firm in total faith knowing that I am not going to let things crumble you completely to the ground, but to bring you through these things and to that I will never leave. To be able to know this, you have had to live like this. You are going to have to know by experience that I am the God of impossibilities.
Now is the time that you need to be put in your place and begin to do these things that I have called you to do. Now is the time to use all that you have been through and that you know to be used for My glory and for My church. Now is the time to provide the support that you are to be doing and to be ready to be used in a way that you have never been used before.
It is time for you to carry your weight and do your part in My church. There is still much to learn and time is very short. The lessons will be quick but very hard to make you very strong. You will need these things to be able to do your job correctly and efficiently. You are going to have to know many things and know how to be able to put others first and to put yourself to the side completely. I have been burning things out of you so you would be able to do these things correctly. There is no time to allow any pride or self-seeking attention to take place.
Now is the time to step up and get prepared to be the pillars that you are to be and to be able to withstand the storms. The storms that are coming are ones to get souls into the church. You are going to have to help provide the shelter that they are going to need and not complain about what is going on but just do what I am asking you to do. You are going to have to be strong and not wavier.
You are going to have to be there to help your pastors and stand by them with great strength to help and relieve them from having to do it all on their own. You are going to have to be a complete team player with the other pillars in the church as well because there will be times that it will take all of you to keep My church up. You are going to have to make sure that things stay in order when everything else is in total chaos. You are going to have to work together and in complete unity and be completely supportive of My church.
So get ready, My pillars because the time has come to be put in your place and to do the assignments that I am given you to do. Remember that I will not give you more than you can bare and you have bared much. I will be right here besides you and helping you every step of the way. You are ready to do this and now is the time to take your rightful place and know that I have put you there.
1 Corinthians 3:9-11 (NIV)
9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

Romans 12:1-8 (NIV)
12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
Matthew 25:34-40 (NIV)

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
1 Peter 4:10-11 (NIV)
10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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 endure it.
Hebrews 13:17 (NIV)
