Preparation

The soldiers stand ready for battle on both sides.

The expanse between the camp is no longer a vast area.

We march forward, My child, we march forward.

Gird your loins, cover your chest.

Pick up that shield and bang it with My sword of truth.

Keep the helmet fastened as it protects you from the fiery darts of the enemy.

Victory is ever so near, but you must stay the course!

Listen and heed My commands.

Do not get lost in thought.

Do not allow the enemy to thwart you from the pathway.

My angels stand charge.

You are safe. You are protected. You are Mine!

Activation: Just as a soldier in the military prepares for war, children of God must also

prepare for battles of the mind and spirit. This requires spending daily time with Jesus. Assess the time you’re spending with Him. Make a plan and follow through today to seek His word, His face, and ask Him to remove any fears or barriers that keep you from being battle ready.

Ephesians 6:13-17 (KJV)

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God . . . 

Joshua 10:19 (NLT) 

The rest of you continue chasing the enemy and cut them down from the rear. Don’t give them a chance to get back to their towns, for the LORD your God has given you victory over them.
