Fresh Word – August 26, 2026 – Strong Tower – Evangelist Pastor Barbara
Who can fight the Eternal Glory? Who can stop the storm clouds that are gathering overhead? Who, but the Lord God Almighty! I am the Alpha, Omega, beginning, and the end. I have spoken, and so shall it be. I open doors no man can close. I close doors no man can open, but in all this, there are still those who think they are the Almighty One. They are ambushing My little lambs. They are bruising the broken-hearted, and they are keeping the captives captive in the web of darkness.
That is the story as of this very second; but I am changing all things. I have made the old fade, and the new has come into position.
All those who thought the scriptures did not apply to them are now seeing how that was a wrong assumption. They are feeling My rod of chastisement upon their lives.
The Chosen Ones have come through two years of grueling darkness. Some have already emerged into the marvelous light of their salvation, while others are still processing the pain and agony of betrayal.
They were not prepared for such gross darkness, and their knees bowed in deep-rooted unbelief of how severe the storm became; but I am the Lord thy God, and I was always in control. The dark days that came upon you were meant to strengthen your character into a pillar that others could run into.
Rise, all ye nations! Rise and join the ranks of Overcomers! These Overcomers are the ones who will carry the Eternal Glory into the lands, with Great signs, wonders, and miracles following.
This is the great push toward the Second Coming of My Son Jesus. Rise! Rise into the ranks of the Chosen Ones; the ones that will remain forever strong and faithful, like Paul. Like Peter, and all the other great warriors of My Word.
David knew who his Father was, and he never turned from My Fire-like gaze. He depended on Me to lead, guide, and direct his footsteps. He loved Me with an abandoned love, and never forgot whom his Lord was.
Chosen Ones, the war in heaven will still rage until the Second Coming, so move. Move into your position of Warrior Leader. Keep the little lambs safe while I raise them up as warriors in My field of salvation.
John 21:15-25 New International Version
Jesus Reinstates Peter
15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”
“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”
16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”
17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. “Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”
20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) 21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?
You must follow me.”
5 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
