             A Time Of Strengthening 

I want to build you up to be mighty warriors, but you cannot do it on 
your own. You need My presence, My grace and anointing upon you 
constantly. And the only way to obtain all that you need is by staying 
by My side and resting, waiting upon Me whenever you can. Make use of 
every moment that you can to rest before Me for mighty is the battle 
ahead, and you must be ready for it. 

So come before Me so that I can heal your heart from those things that 
have wounded you. Let Me bring to your memory anything you have 
suppressed of deep hurts, resentments, or unforgiveness that might 
hold you back. For you need to be clean vessels so that My power and 
glory can flow freely through you. Let Me set you free from any doubts
or fears with My perfect love.  

Once you reach the point you must be in Me as clean vessels, keep your
guard up for the enemy will want you back in his clutch. But don't let 
him back in your thoughts, for the battle is won or lost in your mind. 
Keep covered with My armor of light and love. Be filled this day with 
My grace and truth.  Reach out to Me so I can fill you to overflowing 
with My Spirit, which is a mighty force field that the enemy can't 
cross. The same Spirit that raised My Son from the dead dwells in you. 

You dwell with Me high above all power and principality, and I am 
sovereign ruler of all having control of every move of the evil one. 
He has no rights of his own or power without My allowing it. 

Believe and receive My every promise made to you in My word for it is 
your sword. Stand behind My faith which protects your heart from the 
arrows sent from the evil one. Pray unceasingly in the Spirit to stay 
built up. And rejoice for we have won the battle. You fight from the 
place of victory. No matter what happens to your flesh, your spirit will
soar in Me like the eagle.
