          You Cannot Face This Battle On Your Own

You are facing many battles to which you cannot fight on your own. I Am 
your Commander-in-Chief. I Am the Almighty God who fights for you. You, 
My people, need to stay close by Me and know My ways, for when you know 
My ways, you will know first of all that I never leave nor forsake My own. 
For I am indeed the God of the breakthrough, and I am breaking through 
your situations and showing Myself mighty. You cannot sustain in the 
coming days on your own. You were never made to be the 'Lone Ranger' but 
you were made to submit.

Many of you at this time are submitting to your circumstances in the 
natural. You have resigned and thrown in the towel saying, 'It is 
impossible.' I hear words like 'I have been down this road before and
I keep getting the same results.' My children, if your faith and 
reliance is not found on Me, then is it no wonder that you have played 
'musical chairs' in despair, discouragement and defeat. I say unto you 
to rise up above what you see, and see through My eyes.  Look at your 
life and the coming days through My perspective. Examine your hearts 
today.  What are you truly holding on to?

Is it worth it to gain the whole world and lose your soul? And what is 
in the world that draws you back? Is it wealth and riches? Do you not 
know that millionaires have committed suicide despite their riches for 
lack of love? My people, you are Mine according to the covenant I made 
with you through the blood of My son. Do not lean on the world nor the 
ways of the world. Do not be drawn in by what the enemy puts before you, 
for remember you are soldiers of the Most High God. I have warned you 
through My Word not to entangle yourself with the affairs of this life,
that you would please Me who enlisted you as a soldier.

When the enemy throws his fiery darts, thrust out the shield of faith. 
I have not called you to complacency and to depending on yourself, but 
to rely on Me. Be holy even as I, the Lord, am holy. I am returning for
you, My love, as spotless and without error. Endeavor to live worthy of 
My calling on you. Be encouraged and know that even as My hand is upon 
you, I will not allow you to slumber nor fall.
