(given to me 08.06.09 (August 6, 2009 but now told to release.  To God the glory alone!)

I say to you, DO NOT GRIEVE; neither SORROW.  For righteous anger shall arise and has risen now against the enemies of the cross.  Do not listen to the lies of the enemy, for I tell you to keep on the full armor.  Lean not to your own understanding and know that all that happens is under My watchful eye.  I AM a righteous judge; My timing is perfect.  I do not think as man thinks, for My thoughts are not your thoughts.  Do not think that I am slow, for My ways are not your ways.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. 

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. 

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.  [Is 55: 7-9]

A Lonely Walk Upon the Narrow Path

I know those who repent; I AM He who will help you in your weakness and lead you along the path that you should travel.  Do not expect this path to have many upon it; expect it to be a lonely walk, yet always remember that as you cling to Me, you do not walk alone.   

You will meet other who walk the lonely walk and in those moments, encourage each other to endure to the end, for there are many wolves, many vultures, many false brethren along the way.  

When the ‘true’ meet each other, they shall know, for they recognize My Spirit; these are Mine.  Love one another and forgive.  Be pure vessels, empty of flesh, empty of bitterness, empty of self.  Indeed, you have learned that as you proceed upon this narrow path, entering in through the strait gate, that indeed, the road gets narrower and few remain upon the path.

At times the road seems so narrow, that it is only I who can hold you steady, to keep you from falling and to keep you from temptation.  I AM He who will keep you from turning back, but you must lay your life down, completely trusting in Me.  

Yea, I AM He who walks with you along the path, but you must be willing, for I will not force you.  This is in part why many fall away; they cannot trust Me nor can they surrender all.  They long for the things that please the flesh.  Selah

Have Faith

Yea, but if in a moment, you look away and fall (as Peter did when he stepped out upon the water), cry out to Me (as Peter did – repentance) and I shall lift you up.  Even in his fear, Peter cried out to Me.  Do not have little faith; neither doubt, yea, but I AM here if you falter and cry out to Me.   

Yea, narrow is the path, and few, few, few there are who truly desire to stay upon it, but I will help you as you hold fast to your faith, trust Me and obey.  Fear not.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.  [Mat7: 13,14]

I have told you to come before Me and hear what I would say to you, as you spend moments with Me.  Must I always break the hearts of My people or allow their hearts to be broken before they will see Me and cry out?  A broken and contrite heart, I shall not despise.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.  [Ps51: 17]

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart: and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit [Ps34: 18]     

He Strengthens

I AM He that strengthens thee.  I AM He who teaches you the way to go.  Oh yes, I AM He who searches the heart and tries the reins to see if you love Me first above all things.  I have created all things, so shall you worship the creature or even My creation above the Creator?

I have told you that a great dividing began (some time back) in days now past.  Now you are seeing it more, as I give understanding.  Not all who say, ‘Lord, Lord’ are Mine, but those who do the will of the Father; they are Mine.  Yea, the faithful belong to Me.

It is time to be covert.  Be still.  Whole armies are divided and warriors are sent upon separate missions for a common cause.  Obedience is crucial for smooth operations.  Even satan demands loyalty from those who are his.

The counterfeiter is very clever, subtle and most cunning, yet I remind you that I AM the LORD of the battle.  This is a time like no other time and now the time is here.  This is a time like no other time and you must not fear.

Warriors of Endurance

I have called so many people and many people began strong, but not all can endure to the end, for there is a cost.  They must lay down their lives; they must fight their flesh and overcome.  Yea, the ones who are chosen are ‘warriors of endurance’.    

Fear Not, Stand Fast

 

Loyalty and obedience are what they long for, for they learn obedience through the things that they suffer.  You will be hated by many because of your faith in Me and walk in obedience.  Fear not, stand fast in faith and endure to the end.

And ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved.  [Mat10:22]

Even those who call themselves ‘brethren’ may rise up and hate you without cause, because you walk in obedience.  Endure warrior, endure…for the path is narrow and the battle is fierce.  Yea, but I AM with you.  Fear not persecution.  Keep on the full armor and cast down imaginations.  Take every thought captive, warrior.

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ  [2Cor10: 5]

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  [Eph6:  10-11, 13]

Hold Fast to Your Faith

Yea, but it is their faith that sees them through, for they know that they know that they know, without faith, it is impossible to please Me; for He that comes to Me must believe that I AM, and that I am a rewarder of those who diligently seek Me.  [Heb11: 6]

They walk by faith and not by sight [2Cor5: 7].  Stand fast; faint not, for I AM with thee, all along the narrow path.  Hold fast, stand strong, be of good courage.  

Allow the purging for purification, for pure vessels of honor are in My hand.  Yes, My vessels of honor must be purified, justified and sanctified.

Covert Operations

Covert – secret or hidden, not openly practiced or engaged in or shown or avowed

 

There is a mandate!

Our Father, which is in heaven,

Hallowed (holy) be thy name,

THY KINGDOM COME

THY WILL BE DONE

In earth, as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts (trespasses, sins), as we forgive our debtors (those who trespass, sin against us).

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:  For Yours is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, forever.  Amen

Ancient Paths

 

Back to the ancient paths:  As it was in the days of Noah; as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah; as it was for Ninevah and Jonah… selah

I, the Lord give strategies; everything I do is done decently and in order.  

The training of the warrior is never easy.  When even your prayer time is under attack, with interruptions, distractions, accusations and misunderstanding; you do well to remember your training and you do well to remember your struggle. 

[You] wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.  [Eph6: 12]

Be covert.  Hide yourself in Me; hide in the secret place.  Yea, I AM the Lord of the battle.  Hide in Me and I shall give you victory; I shall give you strategies.  

Put on the full armor.  The strategies of the enemy is (and has always been) towards one goal, to steal your destiny, kill your vision, destroy your faith.  Be strong; be patient; keep the faith.  I AM with thee.  

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. [1Jn5:4]

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.  [Rev14:12]

Be warriors of endurance and endure to the end.  I send My holy angels to guard around you, for they are at My command.  Fear not.  Walk by faith and not by sight.  I AM with you as you hide in (cling to) Me. 

I AM fully able to care for you.  Lean not on your own understanding and I shall direct your steps.  Patience, My people, be patient.  All is in My hands.  Look to Me, warriors of endurance, keep looking to Me.  Selah
