Oh My people, be aware of the spiritual battle in which you are
presently engage. The battle is real and the battle is strenuous. You
cannot fight it, you most certainly cannot prevail, unless you do so
with My Spirit and My armaments. Nothing that you could produce, on
your own, of your own strength or power, could even begin to bring to
you the victory. Your victory, your overcoming can only be insured and
secured by ME and My working in and through you. Your opponent, indeed
the arch enemy of your soul, is not moved even a little by you or the
strength you have on your own.

BUT, he is POWERLESS and DEFENSELESS against ME!
There is no victory and no affect that he can have on you so long
as you abide under My wings of protection. But, I am not asking
or suggesting that you simply hide yourself away in Me and allow the
fight to go on without you; but to RISE UP IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD
and thwart the plans of the wicked one! Fight the good fight of faith
and be victorious and immovable. I can make you stand firm and steady.
I can fill you with strength and vigor equal to ANY task, making you a
threat to the powers of darkness.

YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, for there is no light in the
heart and life of those who know Me not. Only darkness abides in the
unbeliever. But in you My children, is My light residing. Walk in the light
that My Spirit produces within you and there will be no occasion to stumble.
The darkness of this world is growing blacker and more penetrating, yet it
need not hinder nor engulf you if you continue in the Light of My counsel and
My countenance. For My Light can and will dispel the darkest dark that the
enemy can produce.

You need not stumble around, feeling and searching your way as
would a blind man in unfamiliar territory, for I have provided you with
THE EVERLASTING LIGHT OF CHRIST, which will illumine your pathway and
allow you to see the obstacles, yes, the traps that the enemy has laid
out for you. You need not fall prey to his strategies, for you always
have My wisdom and strength made available to you. Utilize them to the
fullest, and you will walk steadily down the pathway of righteousness,
straight into My arms, where we will spend eternity together. For this
I longingly wait.
