Good morning,

I Am assembling a mighty army, one that does not listen to the lies of the enemy. One who has come through many trials, tests, and tribulations, purified by the fire. The fire that I allowed them to go through so that this day they might stand. A people unafraid to say what I say when I say it, speaking truth boldly in the midst of everything that is contrary to what I Am doing and what I Am saying. I Am saying to My people right now to prepare. To get themselves ready not to be set aside and set away, but to be prepared to be persecuted for the Truth of My Word. For many of My children have never yet understood persecution. You have gone along through this world saying whatever you want to, whenever you felt like it, but many times the enemy would send a small example of what persecution looked like. The persecution will be different, and those who come through will be those who have spent their time with Me. All who are godly will suffer persecution, Developing character, making sure that My Word is trustworthy and that it is in their heart so that at any moment they can speak it forth and see it come to pass. Letting it flow forth from their very being until it is who they are. Because they have become more like Me as they spend time in the secret place, ready and willing for the times and the days that are ahead. 

  So prepare yourself by going often into the secret place than you have ever gone. Begin to sit there. Listen, take heed. Pay attention to what I Am speaking to you for the days ahead they will not be light and easy, but you will come through victorious every time. For My Word will go before you as a banner of victory. You will stand. You will stand victorious through every situation and every circumstance. You will be bold, strong, and courageous. That is the Army that I have prepared. And nothing that I put My hand to fails, and you will not fail!

“Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].” (Ephesians 6:13)

“Indeed all who delight in piety and are determined to live a devoted and godly life in Christ Jesus will meet with persecution [will be made to suffer because of their religious stand]” (2 Timothy 3:12)

“Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.” (Romans 5:3)

Good morning, 

If My people will turn their backs on the ways of this world and leave the distractions of this present age behind them, they will open their eyes and have them flooded with the light of My ways.  I will use the trials and tribulations of your seasons of life as dung.  Yes, I will mulch down every obstacle, trial and tribulation in your life and use it to produce a massive harvest in your life.  The strategies and tactics that the enemy thought would bring you down, I delight in turning them around to show our enemy that His best is nothing but dung to us.  What he thought would destroy you I have cunningly used to incite you to riot against the kingdom of darkness.  You realized that you have been lied to and you are ready to be the winner you actually are.  Rising up in you is the “warrior bride.”  You are staying in a state of readiness for your soon coming lover, and you will fight off any foxes of life that will try and prevent you from staying prepared.  You know now that all these trials and tribulations were sent to divert your power and your energy away from what you are truly longing for.  Yes, more of Me, deeper intimacy with Me.  With great fervor and zeal you are now setting your gaze upon Me, my bride, my fair one.  You see that with great revelation, that I Am the One and only One that can put you over.  I Am over every trial, test, circumstance, tribulation, hardship and adversity of life, I Am.  I Am rising in your life as a contented lover and supplying for you as a great provider, so that you will not lack in any area of your life.  I Am here to fulfill the wantings and longings of your heart, because you have remained faithful to Me, you did not go defiling our love life, by filling your heart with every imitated lovers.  Those who promised you things, that only I could provide  You trusted Me when things looked impossible, yet you kept on believing Me.  You refused the well-timed advances, of the false lovers.  Our enemy thought you were weak.  He did not know that your cries were for Me, and I heard them as a horn sounding for battle.  I Am here to fight on your behalf, stand beside Me, your great Warrior has arisen.  The whole earth will tremble at My arising.  You will see Me doing wonders in the earth and through My bride, My lovers.  She will step into My ways now.  The intensity of Who I Am will be seen through her.  She has arisen, for I have arisen in her.  Refreshed with strength, power, wisdom, signs and wonders, the world will now look on and see that I Am is here.  Together we will sweep the earth and call my army, the warrior bride to attention.  Those who are mine will hearken and do.  My lovers will arise.  All who are faithful I will reward plentifully.

  “You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” (2 Timothy 2:3-4)

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)

Good morning,

I have spoken once, yet twice have I said this to you; “Stand still and see the salvation of your Lord!”  Somehow you think that I am not working because you don’t see in the current activity that is going on to bring My word to pass for you.  Your angels are constantly at work, to bring to pass My promises on the behalf of the one who believes and stands. Do not be deceived by the scurrying around of the little foxes of our enemy.  He uses the natural forces to get your attention on him.  He does that to try and get your eyes to roam to the left and right, keeping you trapped by the present activities.  All of the chaos of transition can leave you feeling unsettled if you are not keeping your gaze upon Me and My promises. I have not changed My mind concerning the prophetic Words that I have spoken over you.  They are settled with Me.  Are they settled with you? They must be, in order for you to receive them.  They must always be in your heart.  I long to do those good things that I have said to you. Yet, it is with eyes of faith that you will see the promises fulfilled.  The winds of trials and tribulations have blown you off course.  They have arisen because of the promises, their purpose was to get you to shift your sail.  You have allowed yourself to be pushed around by these lying winds.  They blow in your ears, your eyes, and through your emotions, telling you that it will not come to pass.  Resist those lying winds!  I am stirring up a fresh new wind.  A sweet wind that will cause you to set your sails of faith towards Me once again.  Catch it, and flow with Me to the places of purpose.  I will set you on the straight path once again, do not be detoured.  It is a narrow and constricted path that I place you on, it is for your good.  Trust Me, I do know the way.  Keep following Me. No longer allow personal pain and disappointment to cause you to stand still in fear, but stand, fully persuaded that I am God and I cannot lie.  My purposes and plans will prevail if you stay in the force of My wind.  Only yield to My wind, not to the winds of doubt, lies, and unbelief of our enemy.  If you will only look to Me, I will raise your sights, to see farther than you have been able to. I will lift your expectations again, with tokens of My goodness.

“Surely there is a future [and a reward], your hope and expectation shall not be cut off. Listen, my son, and be wise, And direct your heart in the way [of the Lord].” (Proverbs 23:18-19)

“Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.” (Psalm 86:17)

“Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day.  For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]!  So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.” (2 Corinthian 4:16-18)

Good morning,

You have been seeing blessings and battles, a combination of them together. You have gone from trials and tribulations to victories from victories to trials and tribulations. You are always asking Me to make it smooth for you and I say to you that this is the way of a warrior. That is the way you fight from blessings to battles and from battles to blessings, from trial and tribulation to victory. I always provide a way of escape during battle, trial, or tribulation. Hold your head up high, do not allow the enemy to cause you to look down but keep your eyes looking up for all the time I Am working things out for you. During every battle, you are always blessed. Every trial and tribulation turns to a victory as long as you remember all of your blessings. I Am working on your behalf to bring you to your promise land. Remember Job and everything that he went through, you understand that the enemy came for his words. He is coming after your words too and in the end, everything turned out for Job’s good because he learned how to fight in the midst of the battle and not give up. You know how to stand on My Word and not be moved too. So the blessings are on the way. Be strong and victorious for every promise I have given you is yes and amen!

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy” (1 Peter 4:12-13)

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

(2 Tim. 2:3-4)
 
    "For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear].  But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently." (1 Corin. 10:13)
