Oh My people, I beseech you to draw close to Me and hear the words that
I would speak to you. My people, you need now, more than ever before
to be sensitive to My Spirit, My voice, to My moving. As the darkness
gather's on the horizon, My Spirit seeks to gather together the elect.
My people, it is imperative that you draw close together; that you put
aside your differences, and that you lay down your diversions, and that
you become of one mind and one spirit. My children, you are part of a
spiritual army, and I myself am the Captain of the Host. You need to
learn to march together against the enemy, for no soldier is called to
do battle alone. It takes many to fill up the ranks, and as a group are
the soldiers of any army sent out. The more you are in unison, the more
effective you are. It is a seldom recognized ploy of the enemy to
separate the troops, thereby nullifying their effectiveness. If he is
able to get you to focus on bringing injury and ruin to one another,
then you have already lost the battle and are ineffective against the
forces you are to oppose.

Focus of Me! Give Me your full, and undivided attention. Ready
yourself for battle! Put on the full armor of God. Gird yourself with
My strength, for My strength is indefatigable. Encourage your fellow
soldier's in the fight. Do not allow the enemy's tactics to go
unnoticed or unchallenged. Do not allow division to split your ranks.
Do not strike out and deliver a blow to your comrades.

Remember Paul's admonition to young Timothy; "Suffer hardship with
me as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service
entangles himself in the affairs of every day life that he may please
the one who has enlisted him as a soldier." My people, just so you must
do now, for the battle is growing more fierce, and of necessity you must
shake off your lethargy and gird yourself for war. Does not My word say
that you are to "Gird your mind for action. Keep sober in spirit and
fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the
revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed
to your former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the
Holy One who has called you, be holy in all your behavior, for it is
written, 'you shall be holy for I am holy.'" And again, "Be sober, be
vigilant, for your adversary the devil walks about as a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour; whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing
that the same tribulations are being accomplished by your brethren who
are in the world."

My people, I would remind you that 'greater is He that is in you than
he that is in the world.' Does not My word say that, "In Christ all the
fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form, and you are complete in Him
who is the Head of all principality and power?"

So rise up and be endued with power from on high, and march on into
the victory of your God. 'For no weapon that is formed against you shall
prosper.'
