                                Mighty

Mighty, mighty, mighty!  I have risen you up mighty in Me.  I have given 
you authority over all of the power of the enemy.  Do not fear when I send 
you into battle, for I have prepared you for it. I have dressed you with My 
armor.  I have clad your feet with the authority to trample on the snakes 
and scorpions of the evil one, and nothing of his is able to cause you any
lasting eternal harm.  He is powerless before Me and I have already given 
you victory over him.

Your enemy the devil has already been defeated, and yet he fights on until 
the day when he is cast into the pit.  He fights dirty because he knows that 
the day of defeat is unavoidable and he is furious about that.  His desire 
is to do as much harm as he can, to take down as many of My creation as he 
can with him.  On some, he uses lies and flattery and deceit and false 
promises of fulfillment and pleasure.  On others he uses oppression and 
sickness and dread and hardship and bondage.  On others he uses fear. But 
his goal for each one is the same. He wants to rob and steal and kill and 
destroy, he wants to take a many as he can with him to eternal destruction.

My desire for you is that you do not allow him to do this. That is why I
have placed a double edged sword in your hand.  With one edge you can speak
My words of life to those he deceives, to the cutting apart and the 
separating of the bone and marrow.  I have given you prophetic revelation 
that you might reveal the lies of the enemy to break people out of deception 
and get them to embrace My truth.  With the other edge, you can sever the 
bondage and oppression and affliction that he places on people. You can 
cast out the demons, command sickness to flee and set people free from all 
bondages and addictions.  I have already purchased these things on Calvary, 
they are Mine to dispense as I please. And I have given them to you, that 
you might fight fully equipped, that you might defeat the plans of the devil 
and cause My plans to be established in this earth.

Do not fear the battle, little one, for I will indeed give you the victory.
I have made you mighty in Me and you shall surly go in My authority when I
send you to war.  There may be times when you are injured in battle. But do
not fear, for I am your healer. There is nothing that your enemy the devil
can throw against you that can catch My by surprise. There is nothing he 
can do that I cannot handle.  When you fight, you do not fight alone; I fight 
with you and I fight for you and I will be mighty on your behalf.

Yes, I have already given you My authority over the enemy. I have already made
you mighty in Me. I have already clothed you in My armor. I have already given
you the shield and sword and all that you need to war.  In addition, I am 
showing you My battle plan and I am giving you My strategies.  As you 
implement them, you will indeed see My victory. There is nothing to fear,
for I have made you mighty in Me.   

So rise up in obedience and do all the things I command you to do.  I am
thrusting you into a place of victory. I am making you one who will overcome
as you follow Me, so follow Me into battle without fear.  Know that I shall 
surely glorify My name through you and cause you to prevail, for I have made 
you mighty in Me.
