Increase

Children, I have heard your cry for Increase. Increase! Increase!, you cry. And this pleases me. I want to increase you in power, in strength, in authority, in finances, and in every facet of your life. Indeed, this must happen.

But you, darling children, have not known that increase is what happens in WAR when the victory is won and the spoils are presented to you for the taking. Yes, increase is not handed to you automatically, but is won waging war against the enemy and taking back the land he has stolen from you.

I AM a MAN OF WAR! The LORD is my Name! I teach your hands to war. I teach your fingers to fight. For it is by my Spirit, and not by your own might or power, that you will enter into the land and possess it through WARFARE. It will not be your own strength that wins the battle for you, but you must be willing to engage in the battle. Indeed, all these trials and hardships that have compassed about you are working for you by my Spirit, because you are now in a position to let me teach your hands to war and your fingers to fight. It is not my desire that you lay down and let the enemy trample upon you. NO! Fight! Fight, for the spoils of war are those very things you have cried out for in your spirits—restoration, healing, prosperity in every area of your walk with me. Look at the Scriptures which depict me as the Man of War, the Mighty Conqueror, the Captain of the Hosts. I am here to win the victory for you as you engage in the battle. Make up your mind to fight! Keep your eyes on your Captain. Don’t give up. Stand up and see the salvation of the Lord. I am FOR you. Praise me. Worship me. Call upon Me to arise and scatter your enemies. Stand in the strength of your GOD. Rally the troops and call upon your God to fight for you.

Ps 144:1
Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: (KJV)
