Children of the Light
-----

Beloved, fear not! Fear not what is going on around you in these days of darkness. For though you are in the midst of darkness, you are not children of the night, you are children of the Light! Even as I AM the Light of Life, you are now the light of the world! The darker the world becomes, the greater your light will shine! And your light won't shine because of your good works, but your good works will shine because of your light! Your light that reflects Me, shall overpower the works of darkness! Remember, the darkness can't comprehend or prevail against the Light of Life! You are carriers of My light, My life & My love! I have sent you behind enemy lines, equipped with My weaponry, to liberate people from captivity! I have sent you forth into the Earth, as My ambassadors, to bring the captives out of darkness & into My marvelous light! You are actually invading enemy camps when you declare the Gospel of Grace to the people of the world! You are loosing prisoners of war & transferring over spiritual lines of battle, & bringing them into the Nation of Heaven, the Kingdom of God! Your are reaching out for those that have been missing in action, & rescuing them! You are also marching into the enemy camps, which are filled with spiritual darkness, & you are discharging torches of light, the unfailing Word of God, & you are exposing the enemy, & at the same time, you're locating the prisoners of war, & you are carrying them out of the enemy's camps, & transporting them to eternal safety, as you wage warfare in the name of the Lord! Fear not, for I have called you into battle, & I have armed you for war! I am surrounding My army with favor like a shield, & they are rising up strong in Me, & in the power of My might! YOU ARE A MEMBER OF MY GLORIOUS & VICTORIOUS ARMY! Again, I tell you, 'Fear Not', I am with you, even as you walk through the valley of the shadow of death! There are more that are for you, than there can ever be those that would rise up against you! If I am for you, what army of darkness can withstand your onslaught? NONE!

Take up your battlefield position, stand your ground, & resist the enemy. As you receive orders from your Heavenly Headquarters, march forth in unison with those in the unity of the faith! As you let your light shine, I will expose the enemy, locate the prisoners, & I will empower you to enforce the enemy's defeat, & together, we will liberate the captives. They'll be refreshed with salvation, healing, deliverance, peace, joy, purpose & prosperity! And you'll receive a reward at My hand, because of your valor in battle!
