Now more than ever before is time for you to take a stand, keep your position, and do not be moved.

 
Good morning,
 
    Now more than ever before is time for you to take a stand, keep your position, and do not be moved.  Everything has tried to get you to take steps back and the push is from the spirit of the wicked one.  I have taken delight in many of My strong ones that have learned to lean on Me when the storms of great adversities begin to try and blow them off course.  My strong ones have held on tight to My Word and have refused all of the lies of this world and of the spirit of religion.  My children have not committed adultery with the idols of this world and all of its enticements to sin.  They have looked right on, in spite of the many distractions that have tried to pull them to other ways.  Now, listen, My strong ones, when you hear My voice you must not halt between two opinions.  You must be quick and powerful to stop the smooth-talking lies of the enemy.  We knew this time would come, where you would be tried and your faith tested, and you have fought a good fight.  Continue to hold fast to My promises, and do not be weary in doing right.  I see all that you have done in My name, and not one of those labors of love has been forgotten.  Just as you have endured some things that you could have never seen coming, wait on Me.  I have some surprises for you, yes, some things that you could never have dreamed or conceived.  All of My strong ones that have learned the value of patiently enduring without giving up, I have laid up for you gifts and benefits that you will begin to see crop up in your daily life.  I have prepared this strong generation of righteous ones to carry forth a mighty work now at the time of the end.  We will produce a great bang!  All will pay attention and take notice of My children.  All who have set their faces like a flint, and have refused to back down and give any place to the enemy, they will enjoy a new level of walking in a heightened awareness of the Kingdom and heaven's aid.  They will be more attuned to the assistance from the ministering angels and they will be more in harmony with Holy Spirit.
 
    "I have fought the good (worthy, honorable, and noble) fight, I have finished the race, I have kept (firmly held) the faith. [As to what remains] henceforth there is laid up for me the [victor’s] crown of righteousness [for being right with God and doing right], which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me and recompense me on that [great] day—and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved and yearned for and welcomed His appearing (His return)." (2 Tim. 4:7-8)
 
    "Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith (by that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness), having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty (evil) conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water. So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the [b]hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word." (Heb. 10:22-23)
 
    "But as for you, O man of God, flee from all these things; aim at and pursue righteousness (right standing with God and true goodness), godliness (which is the loving fear of God and being Christlike), faith, love, steadfastness (patience), and gentleness of heart.  Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold of the eternal life to which you were summoned and [for which] you confessed the good confession [of faith] before many witnesses." (1 Tim. 6:11-12)

Good morning,
 
     My children have encountered many giants in their land.  I Am calling to your remembrance that you are "giant – slayers"!  Do not allow that enemy of Ours to think that you are afraid.  Run towards that lying, loud-mouth enemy and silence him with the Rock.  You have been given My Word in order to raise the standards, you are never to lower yourself to the level of your enemy.  Do not let him bring you into his way of fighting, no, you must pull him into Our ring, Our way.  As you make that stand and keep your standard high the enemy will see that he cannot pull you down.  I have made you to be a threshing instrument against him, with My word in your mouth, that has been planted in your heart, there is no weapon formed against you that will prosper.  Do not be moved from your place of safety, for as you well know, the plan of the enemy is to kill, steal, and destroy.  Yet I know, that as you stay in Me that you are hidden and inaccessible to him.  I Am your Victor and your Champion!  There is no defeat in Me, I will teach and train your hands to war.  I say to you My child, fear not, for I have already overcome this tactic of the enemy.  This way of his is not new to Me, though you may be overwhelmed by the strange fiery trial that has come upon you, I Am not.  I have already decreed that you will come through with the victory, and with more wisdom and insight than you have ever had before.  This territory is yours and you will place the victory flag right there, and you will not be moved.  The enemy will back off, for I have placed in you everything needed to conquer and avail in this battle too.  There shall none of My Words be prolonged or deferred any more, but the Word that I have spoken shall be done!  For the visions that I have given to you, they are not vain, and, the prophesy that I have spoken they are not flattering lies, I will perform every Word that I declared.  So stand and do not bow to the enemy.  Hold up the hands that are weary, and strengthen the weak knees, cut through and make firm stable paths for your feet.  Follow me to victory and be strong and courageous.  This is an ongoing transformation, but you will win as you stay wrapped up in Me.  This strange and fiery trial shall pass and you will come forth as a giant-slayer prepared for the next level.  I Am not finished with you, you are My masterpiece and I still have My hands on you.
 
     "So then, strengthen hands that are weak and knees that tremble. Cut through and make smooth, straight paths for your feet [that are safe and go in the right direction], so that the leg which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather may be healed." (Heb. 12:12-13)
     "Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test you [that is, to test the quality of your faith], as though something strange or unusual were happening to you.  But insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, keep on rejoicing, so that when His glory [filled with His radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may rejoice with great joy." (1 Peter 4:12-13)
     "Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength,Who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. My [steadfast] lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my rescuer, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me." (Ps.144: 1-2)
 
Love,
