This word came at 2:26 a.m., March 7:
2:26: “Once upon a time the swords of the people were put down before their God. It was not the time to rest. It was the time for war – against evil threatening the kingdom from without and from within.
“Now they lift their swords once again.
“The kingdom suffered when you failed to use the weapons I gave you, My People. Evil was allowed to grow, causing ruin and decay. Now there is much to rebuild – and in a time of war. War caused by your very rebuilding, your newfound readiness to fight against evil. For the enemy would have you, your kingdom, continue to decay until there would be nothing left but rot and ruin.
“Your all-powerful King is sounding the alarm. ‘Stand up! Raise your swords! Bring down the enemy and rebuild My Kingdom!’
“Look around you, my People. What do you see – if you would pay attention? Do you see God’s People waking up? Is there new alertness, new growth and revelation among you? Within yourself? The King is at work. His Spirit refreshes, renews, energizes. He is opening long-closed eyes to see and embrace Truth. Do you not see that this is a new day, that I AM doing a New Thing on the earth?
“WAKE UP! Sound the alarm! Shout the war cry to assemble and equip My People into Warriors. Remain expectant. Ask Me for your new assignment. Every hand and voice is needed. Speak My Truth. Expose lies. Take back territory once lost. I will give you EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
“If you were watching a ‘fairytale’ you would so easily understand. You would see the ‘good side’ bathed in light, fighting a dark enemy. You would see bright ‘magic’ at work, defeating the enemy. All these things, these storylines, are weak, worldly portrayals of My Truth, the real Good versus evil, My Supernatural Power. Embrace the real. SEE what I AM doing and join My Battle for MY KINGDOM OF LIGHT. Victory is assured – if you will only FIGHT.
“Ask Me what your place is in the battle. I will tell you. I will guide you. I will lead you with My Righteous Right Hand. I AM and HAVE ALL YOU NEED.
“AMEN.”
