The following word was written in my pseudonym, Awinta Chenoa (ghostwriter/editor
name) and posted on February 22nd (2-22-2012), but it was penned by me, Bonita - one of countless instruments.
Sovereign God
Pray for the people in all nations of the world. Do not judge the people of a nation by their leaders, for the heart of the government is rarely the heart of the people. A remnant of My people can be found within every nation.
My people are those who
have repented and believed, who walk in faith and pick up their cross to
obediently follow My Son. Many have been persecuted and suffered torment, even
death.
Behold the Hour
My judgment began some time ago, yet many are only becoming aware of it now. Persecution has begun and shall increase in countries unfamiliar with persecution in blatant measures. Behold the hour and the time you are in!
Many in nations that are considered peaceful are beginning to see the start of persecution now, yet many other nations have constantly lived under oppression and persecution.
The great persecution of disciples of My Son in the peaceful nations is soon to begin, yea, for great tribulation (emphasis added) approaches for the inhabitants of the earth. There is no escaping, for I shall execute My justice and judgment.
Many shall perish.
Others shall go forth to bring in the harvest. Then shall multitudes be in the valley of decision; then shall those who flee due to great troubles, begin to mourn for their iniquity. Many shall flee into the wildernesses. Exodus soon begins (many peoples, many nations). I tell My people not to fear. Do not fear or be dismayed; neither be discouraged. Be strong.
Have I not commanded you Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid neither be you dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. [Josh 1:9]
Prepare, prepare the way of the Lord. Look up to the skies, yet pray for discernment, for the enemy has plans of his own. He is the prince of the power of the air and he shall use the skies to show forth signs and wonders. Many shall be deceived, for they loved not the truth. I shall allow this, for My judgments that were prophesied long ago shall come to pass. It has begun.
Judgment versus Wrath
Day of the Lord
For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols He shall utterly abolish.
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake terribly the earth. [Is 2:12, 17-19]
Read My word carefully, for again, it is written:
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
And they shall be
afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a
woman that travails: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be
as flames.
Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath and
fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners
thereof out of it.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. [Is 13:6-11]
Do not desire the day of the Lord. Be sober, be vigilant, watch and pray.
Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! To what end is it to you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. [Joel 1:15; Amos 5:18]
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to
the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus
Christ;
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. [1Pet 1:13 and 1Pet 4:7]
Pray for Repentance
My people, pray for hearts to be turned to repentance, that they will see the truth in believing in the Messiah, Jesus/Y’shua of Nazareth. Selah. Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice and listening (hearkening) than the fat of rams. [1Sam15:22]
Watchmen, Sound the Alarm
A great war is coming and the leaders of many countries shall hinder their people and allow great destruction.
They will look out for themselves and those they care about, but not the people of the nation.
My people shall not fear. Comfort My people, love and pray for one another. Assemble yourselves, fast and pray. I shall direct your steps. You shall not walk in fear, for I AM your shield. Out of the seven churches shall come forth those who walk in My commandments obediently.
If a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loves God loves his brother also. [1Jn 4:20, 21]
Beware of False Teachers, False Prophets and False Brethren
Woe to the false teachers and false
prophets who turn the people to themselves and not to My Son. Woe to those who
lead the people to compromise and complacency, who turn the unsuspecting away
from truth.
Such as these refuse correction; they harden their hearts against My rebuke. I have stricken them and they are not grieved. They deny truth; deny My ways and deny My judgment. Woe to such as these.
Come out from amongst them and do not partake of their evil ways. Execute judgment and seek truth. Be ye separate and touch no unclean thing and I will forgive you. Beware, beware of false brethren.
I pleaded with them: Turn, turn, turn from all unrighteousness and come unto Me with a broken and contrite heart - but they will not return to Me. Judgment goes forth.
Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executes judgment, that seeks the truth; and I will pardon it.
And though they say, The LORD lives; surely they swear falsely.
O LORD, are not your eyes upon the truth? you have stricken them, but they have not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God. [Jer 5:1-4]
And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. [2Cor 6:16, 17]
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [Gal 1:6-8]
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage [Gal 2:4]
Rise Up and Pray
Lo! A fire shall be amongst the people in the areas of My choosing. There is a great power of darkness covering the land and shall greatly increase. The shroud is prepared for America. Pray for London; woe to Britain for the sorrows coming upon her. Woe to the allies of America! Pray; come to Me in humility and prayer. Pray…for the people of all nations are in need of prayer.
Rise up My people and pray. Yea, a shroud is over America and it shall fall. The flickering light is about to go out. A spirit of heaviness (discouragement and hopelessness) has pressed many into a hard place. The wearing down of the saints has begun, but it shall increase as the evil one arises, speaking great words against Me, as Daniel forewarned.
The Weary Ones
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. [Dan 7:25]
There are those crying out to Me, who are losing hope and are impatient in waiting. To My people who are weary in waiting, losing hope, I say: I have not forgotten you. Why stand you there without hope? You are as My Son, for you have learned obedience by the things that you have suffered.
Yet, as Job, you say, What is my strength, that I should hope? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life? Yet I remind you: Behold, My eye is upon them that fear Me, upon them that hope in My mercy. [Job 6:11 - Ps 33:18]
O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with fair colours, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of Me, says the LORD. (Is 54:11, 17)
Resist not My Spirit, for I have come to gather you as a hen does her chicks, as a caring shepherd does his precious lambs and sheep. I shall strengthen the weak hands, and establish the feeble knees.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness (with your obedience) and put your trust in the Lord. I AM He who sees the end result from the beginning. I believe in you, for I AM He who knew you before you were in your mother’s womb. I formed you in your mother’s womb. Trust Me and do not listen to the negativity of flesh or the enemy.
Lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen [Mat 28:20]
Call to Repentance
and the Word
Understand the times you are in. Understand:
I AM positioning My people. Those who obey shall take the forefront to speak to the multitudes.
Those who mingle the precious with the vile, the clean with the unclean and the holy with the unholy shall weep, as they are brought low and are passed over.
(Note*: Again, I understood it is because these people refuse to acknowledge their sins, and refuse correction, or to repent. There is no healthy fear of the Lord. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. [Prov 16:18] End note BP)
Repent and Believe
Fear not. Babylon is full of confusion and tyranny. Do not give up. Focus on your Savior, Redeemer and King and read the scriptures. The light in many of the church leaders has become dim, for they seek to satisfy the world and compromise the very gospel.
Yet even amongst the church leaders is a remnant, who walk in My ways and My will. They lead the people in truth, far from the traditions of men and the doctrines of demons. They do not compromise with the world.
Unite and Pray
They lead by example and encourage the entire Body to come together as one, allowing each to do their part and operate in their gifts. For this reason, they are rarely noticed, for as each part functions in unity, no one part is exalted above another part, for it flows in harmony, just as the physical body works as one unit. Pray for one for another.
How is it then, brethren? when you come together, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. [1Cor 14:26]
Fulfill my joy, that you be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than themselves. +
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling; [Eph 4:4]
Yea, I shall rise up those who shall lift their sword in one hand and a torch in the other, so that those who stumble in darkness can see. Those who desire truth will hear truth. Lift high the torch (light) and the sword (Word of God spoken through you by the Spirit of truth).
Days of My Spirit
The day is fast coming where people will be healed where they are, unlike many of the false crusades today. The enemy seeks to discredit My work, yet in My timing, I shall present those I have been preparing and then My Spirit will be seen in the land again.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith Yhvh/God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on My servants and on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy: [Act 2:17, 18]
Spiritual Darkness
The day is here when seven women (churches) will take hold of one man (they grab a hold of Y’shua/Jesus, yet it is He who chooses the true Bride). They eat the bread of deceit and they cloak themselves with robes of self-righteousness.
The power of many leaders shall be shattered. The dragon desires to shatter the power of My people who walk the highway of holiness, but he shall not. Rise up and take the kingdom, for from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, but the violent shall take it by force. [Mat11:12]
Great spiritual darkness has fallen upon the land, and the days are fast approaching where the hearing of My word shall be as a famine upon the people. Be not deceived when those who speak of no falling away whisper in your ear.
Shout from the rooftops…remember Cain, Saul and Esau; so it continues, even unto this day. I shall rise up shepherds who will gather the scattered sheep and bring them to the Good Shepherd (Jesus/Y’shua).
Repent, for the Time is at Hand
Temptations have come abroad and into the grasp of many, who took the bait of the silver-tongued devil. They shall fall, they shall fall. Satan has lured them away, offering them what they thought they needed. He has taken time to learn the weaknesses of My people. Repent, for the time is at hand…
He will slice them through as a knife through butter and many will become divided and the division shall be swift. ‘Now you have all that you need and desire’, he whispers, and they fall as did Samson. Repent, for the time is at hand…
He will present himself in a man or
woman, if they are not walking in My commandments and abiding in Me. ‘You shall be accepted and respected,’ he
lies. He offers power and riches to the greedy and wicked, yet the cost is
their very souls. Repent, repent, repent, for the time is at hand!
Yea, but I shall rise up those who are
considered the most unlikely. The wise shall be confounded by the foolish
things and the mighty shall be abased by the weak. They shall be a shock and a
horror to the enemy and all who oppose them, for I have brought them through
hard trials and testing.
Vessels Unto Honor
Yea, I have been preparing My people. My warriors have been in training, overcoming hard tests and trials. The Bride is making herself ready. Be ready, prepare! The glory, light and magnificence of My Christ shall fill My vessels of honor and their beauty is comparable to none.
They bear much fruit and move in the power and authority of Y’shua/Jesus, which shall and does infuriate the oppressor. It is the last of the last days, as the evil in the end of this age escalates. The horror of calamities shall become unbearable, yet is it not written that the time would be shortened for the sake of the elect?
Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! He who torments the people and destroyed much over all the ages with his own evil armies (demons), coupled with his own evil people, is filled with great wrath, for he knows he has but a short time. [Rev 12:12]
Satan, his evil armies and the workers of iniquity, who follow after and obey him, shall be brought to judgment and justice shall be carried out.
The enemy seeks to come against My people with fury, accusing them always, for He knows that they are Mine. He would seek to destroy them, yet he is not allowed to, as they remain in faith and obedience. They are hidden under the shadow of My hand. He cannot touch their spirit nor do anything that I do not allow. Hold fast.
I will send forth just the right ones, anointing their words, by which I will draw many to Me. Satan does not see the heart, but he has watchers, an army and a government. They work together to tempt My people in their weaknesses, in an attempt to seduce them away, when they least expect it.
He tempts My people to sin, endeavoring to convince them that it is My will. Yea, but I do not tempt My people, nor would I ever direct them towards sin.
By Faith, Overcome
and Endure
I am not capricious, nor is discouragement ever from Me. Overcome My people, overcome the flesh and its lusts by dying to self; overcome and endure! Those who hold fast to their faith, clinging to My Son, walking in obedience to My word and doing My will shall be overcomers and receive the crown of life.
Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed [Jam 1: 12-14]
For they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, and loved not their lives unto the death [Rev 12:11]
In justice, judgment and wrath, this war shall end in victory, for I AM the LORD of the battle. My armies are being positioned and rising up to go forward into battle. Yea, again I say, I AM the Lord of the battle. Selah
End Times Are Here
There shall be no strains of harmony amongst My people, for they shall walk with one mind, in one spirit and in one accord, despite the blackness of night and the evil around them. They shall plumb the depths of My word and I shall reveal hidden treasures to them. They shall walk in the realms of brightness, coming through the darkness victoriously.
The winds will fight together with a dreadful blast. With the exaltation of each ocean wave, the shores of this nation shall be overcome, as a great wall arises out of the waters and pushes inland with no mercy.
These Things Must Be
Fear not the earth changes, or pole shifts, or the stars and constellations, or the earth reeling to and fro as the seas rise, for the earth shall vomit and spue forth destruction. I have forewarned in My word; I am Sovereign. These things must be. The winds of war shall blow across this nation, as well as other nations and great shall be the death and destruction.
Keep the Faith –
Trust God
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and He does according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, What do you? (what are you doing) [Dan 4:35]
And said, O LORD God of our fathers, are not you God in heaven? and rule you not over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand Thee? [2Chron 20:6]
As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all them that trust in Him. [2Sam 22:31]

I was able to retrieve it due to this site (and gratitude to Joseph
Herrin for the post)

There is another old article that I am led
to post again (in part). It is from the time of PASSOVER in 2012. I was
in the United States, living in Winterville, Georgia.
EXCERPT BEGINS:
The time is almost upon My people when many
will have to pack light and go where I send them, whilst others will stay put, having
prepared as I have instructed them. Walking with Me constantly is crucial…even
in silence, I AM there, but I will speak instructions at exactly the right
time.
Keep on your armour, pray and stay close to
Me.
(End excerpt)...
If you have been following my articles, my
testimony, you will know that long hair meant and means a lot to me, but I knew
what the Lord was asking me to do. My hair was down to the middle of my back.
But if a woman have long hair, it is a
glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. [1Cor 11:15]
On the first day of Passover, when the Lord
gave me the scriptures again, I heard what He said.
Cut off your hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD has
rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath. [Jer
7:29]
The condition that a vast majority of the
churches are in, along with the ‘sacrifices’ of millions of aborted babies is
part of what has angered the Lord. Yet, the nation as a whole, refuses to
repent (same as other nations). America has been as Rome, in its power,
wealth and military strength for the last couple of hundred years. When the
Lord moved on me to cut off my hair, which I did with bitter tears, He also let
me know…
Ichabod
This is an outward sign to America of its
spiritual condition. America is cut off! Yea, it is Ichabod, My child, for My
glory has departed from America. The time of her tribulation is upon her and
still the nation will not repent. Travail, My child, pray for those who will
yet turn to Me.
Do not give up on the people, but know that
the glory of the nation has been removed. Fear not, stand fast and pray for the
people.
The Lord has been warning all along.
(1) War Warning (2) Approaching
Horses (3) Repent, Be Holy, A Warning (articles written from 2005-2007 and
posted on a few sites)
These warnings are from one voice, but He has spoken through countless others. Just as in
Elijah’s day, when he went under the Juniper tree discouraged, the Lord
reminded Elijah that there were still 7,000 prophets (that Jezebel hadn’t
killed) that had not bowed their knee to Baal.
You know that
these 7,000 prophets of Yhwh/God plus Elijah, all came with the same message,
which is why Jezebel was killing them. It is the same today; the Head (Y’shua/Jesus)
sends the same message throughout the Body. We must listen, but not fear. Press
into God now!
I break out crying many times when I go
to touch or brush my hair, or catch a glimpse of it in the mirror. Ichabod! The
glory of God has departed from America.
[End this portion of Ichabod]
There is a part that is not mentioned here, but when I asked the Lord how much to cut off, it was cut just up above the shoulders because the Lord said that in the States, He still has a "remnant". (And His remnant is scattered throughout the nations, globally.)
http://crossinthewilderness.blogspot.com/2012/04/o-jerusalem-o-america.html
You can click on
that link but it will prove to be another dead link.
Now I share a prophetic word that was contained in that post.
I know what the King is saying. Here is the
message:
Since the day that your fathers came
forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day, I have sent unto you all My
servants, the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.
Yet they hearkened (listened) NOT unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but
hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. Therefore, you shall
speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken (listen) to you: you
shall also call unto them; but they will not answer you.
But you shall say unto them, This is a
nation that obeys NOT the voice of the Lord their God, nor receives correction:
truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. Cut off your hair, O
Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the
Lord has rejected and forsake the generation of His wrath.
For the children of Judah have done evil
in My sight, says the Lord: they have set their abominations in the house which
is called by My name, to pollute it.
And they have built the high places of
Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and
their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into
My heart. [Jer 7:25-31]
How long have I pleaded with the people to SEEK Me? How long have I been silent while the churches bring abominations into My presence, into the house called by My name; calling evil good and good evil?
How long shall you play the harlot to seduce the people? You heap teachers to yourselves to scratch your itching ears for you will not endure sound doctrine. How long have I patiently listened when the prophets speak smooth things to the people and prophesy deceits? Yea and yea, judgment has begun in My own house.
For the time will come when they will
not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears; [2Tim
4:3]
Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits;
[Is 30:10]
Take up a lamentation. Weep and travail
before Me, for great shall be the judgment upon this nation. It shall spread to
every nation upon this earth, for such is the corruption; great is the evil. It
is as in the days of Noah, and as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah…
To My people, I say, Do not be dismayed or
downtrodden, nor look around you in terror, for the day of My Christ Y’shua/Jesus
is at hand. Put away the unclean thing and walk holy, then shall you be sons
and daughters of Mine.
Stand fast. Now is not the time to weary; now is the time to come before Me and worship Me in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. [Jn 4:23]
Seek good, and not evil, that you may live:
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.
Hate the evil, and love the good, and
establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be
gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts,
the Lord, says thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all
the highways, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the husbandman (manager, farmer, steward) to mourning and such as are skillful
of lamentation to wailing. [Amos 5:15, 16]

In case you missed yesterday’s post: Prepare
Beloved
The Lord is urgently calling His people to
quality time with Him now. He has been asking a long time but it must not be getting
taken seriously, or He would not need to press so hard or so often. There are
things coming, literally the clash of the kingdoms – an expression the precious
and Holy Spirit put deep within me about
2012, after Obama’s second election, and I heard the words distinctly deep within:
Now It Begins (the slippery slope downward
toward the fulfilling of the last day’s prophecies). I have written notes and
started so many articles over the time when either things were coming as an
onslaught against me, or I was very ill. Either way, I was praying, and
writing, but was not posting. Sometimes they were written as little notes with
titles, such as one file I found below.
Face
Set as Flint
Have you ever heard the expression “true grit”?
grit: - courage and resolve; strength of character [solid]; (bravery,
moral fiber, valour, fortitude)
true
grit: - all of the above interwoven with passion,
perseverance or resilience
(words that keep coming at me – July 2,
2020
Time and season - - Appointed time –
suddenly
Prepare – rejoice
– health – healing mingled? Prepare –
take heed – be on guard, determined
A warrior with a face set like flint – look
to example Yeshua/Jesus
For
the Lord God will help me; therefore, shall I not be confounded: therefore,
have I set my face like a flint and I know I shall not be ashamed. He is near
that justifies me; who will contend with me? Let us stand together: who is my
adversary? Let him come near to me.
Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he
that shall condemn me? Lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall
eat them up. Who is among you that fears the Lord, that obeys the voice of his servant,
that walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and
stay upon his God.
[Is 50:7-10]
for His glory alone

These words first posted in 2012 speak directly to whats happening now. The one common theme I hear from brethren is how weary and battled fatigued they are. This is the time we have been preparing and waiting for. Never have I felt in my spirit this strongly that this is it, the time is now. Judgement is here but I believe a great move of God is also at the door step. May the Lord count me as worthy to escape the judgement and be found without spot or blemish at His coming. God bless you Bonita for your faithfulness to post the Father's warnings and encouragements.
ReplyDeleteThe part about weariness and battle-fatigued is true, Donna, what you said. The Lord has acknowledged it as well, which tells me that He is hearing the prayers of those crying out. It is difficult when we don't understand the "delay" or the "why".
ReplyDeleteIt is only then, I reckon, that we can begin to understand what our forerunners went through in their waiting. Those such as Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, Moses, David and so many others - real people living in a real world with real emotions, frustrations, faith, hope, love and fear of the Lord...
When we are weary, when the wait has been (in our opinion) far too long, we are most fragile. It is at that precise moment (hour) that our flesh wants to throw in the towel (our flesh loves being pampered and getting what it wants) -- and the adversary taunts our flesh, whispering negativities, or shooting forth those fiery darts, all with the intent to make us fall (away), to abandon hope, to abort our vision/dream - God's personal promises.
THAT is precisely why our wise Creator urges us, exhorts us to SEEK Him, to STAY in His presence. He knows our weaknesses, and He is MORE than willing to strengthen us, but it requires us spending time, resting in quiet confidence with Him.
I have been disciplining myself more to do this also because there is always SO MUCH TO DO, so much to distract...praise Yahweh (thank You Yeshua/Jesus) for the precious and Holy Spirit who helps us.
Keep strong sister, we are indeed "right there" for a move of God, a move so mighty that NONE can touch His glory. Why, o why do you think the enemy has been pushing back so hard against God's people? The clash of the kingdoms is a reality now as never before and it shall intensify according to how it is written.
What a time we live in! Let us keep praying for each other but also for the lost, the deceived, those who are where we once were before God saved us through His beloved Son, Yeshua/Jesus...
HalleluYah - Marantha! You are exalted on high, o magnificent King and Saviour! --
