The Still Small Voice

God's Weaponry
The fruit of the Spirit is love...Galatians 5:22, 23

I seek to have you armed, saith the Lord; for no soldier can survive without My weaponry.
LOVE bears all things; learn to love and strength like a mighty wall shall rise about you to be your protection. It shall be a fortress that no enemy can overcome and you shall be secure. Let Me give you My love.
JOY brings healing and victory. Against it no enemy can stand, for in its mirror the counsels of the wicked are defeated, for joy reveals their end. Rejoice! I have gained for you the victory!
Peace is the result of trusting Me. It reveals My wisdom within you, and in the heat of its tranquility, the enemy shall melt away as ice on a hot, summer day. Trust Me, and you shall have My peace.
GENTLENESS, MEEKNESS and GOODNESS shall cast down worldly majesties and come against the power of evil with all the force of a devastating explosion, though not a leaf be stirred, nor a blade of grass tremble. Yet, shall it quake the hearts of men and seal the mouths of the beasts who seek to devour you. Treasure them and I will fill you with their glory.
FAITHFULNESS is the bridge that shall keep you by My side and carry you above the waters of your circumstances no matter how fiercely the currents rage beneath you. Keep your eyes on Me and believe that I will never leave you.
PATIENCE rules a kingdom. It waits for its enemies and seizes upon them within My perfect timing. Wait for it and it will surely come to thee.
Upon
TEMPERANCE rests the security of an army; for you cannot be overcome by excess when you possess its secrets, and no carnal weapon formed against you shall prosper, for you shall be found awake and alert to the subterfuge of desire. Stand still and see the salvation of your God as I create within thee an excessive desire for Me.
My child, I seek for you to win, and you will only win as you relinquish your will to Me. As you submit, you shall see your enemy surrender; and thus there shall be an end to the warfare within.

The Protection of Prayer

My Children, I have taught you to pray (Matthew 6:9-13).
Our Father… All prayer must begin here. I am your Father. In prayer we converse in intimate relationship. You were created for fellowship with Me. In this relationship you are hidden and protected. I am your High Tower, your Fortress, your Defender. I hold out My arms to thee, and like a child you must run to Me and abide there.

Our Father who art in Heaven… You must keep your minds on your dwelling place with Me. Where your treasure is your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21). I want you to walk above the waters of this life with Me, so that nothing the enemy sends your way will affect your spirit. As you stay focused on that which is above, you will not sink and drown in the enemy’s polluted waters.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name… Out of the mouths of babes I have perfected praise to still the enemy and the avenger (Psalm 8:2). Praise formed by the lips of a humble, dependent child-like heart, will stop legions of unseen enemy warriors poised to fight you. The music of your praise to Me is like throwing a net over the heads of your attackers and they are immobilized. Oh, if you only knew the joy I have in seeing the devil flee before the voice of one praising child-like heart!

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven… You must be willing to submit your will to My will. If you focus on yourself and your desires, you will wander from the straight path I have laid out for you, and in your roaming through the wilderness of your own ways you will make yourself a prey for your enemy. And I will allow him measured attacks upon you for the purpose of driving you back to the plan that I have ordained for your life. It grieves Me when you are hurting, but all chastening that I allow to come your way is for your growth and benefit. Submit your will to Mine and stay on the pathway of holiness and obedience. Obedience is your safety, for only I can see the snares and traps that the enemy has laid for you. Read My word, and train your spirit to hear My Still Small Voice and I will share with you My strategies for victory!

I will give you your daily bread… as you remain humbly dependent on Me for your every need. I will forgive your sins, as long as you forgive others… for I am continually looking at your heart, for this is where My kingdom is found -within you where I dwell. And it is My utmost concern that your heart be formed in righteousness. When you cannot forgive, there is a wall that is created within you that hinders fellowship with Me. The root of this wall is pride. You must see that all sin is rooted in pride. When you cannot forgive, you are placing yourself in a position that is higher than the one who has harmed you. For all have sinned and are one in this (Romans 3:23). From the tower of My cross I beheld all mankind as one individual needing My forgiveness. You need to see that you are just as capable as offending as you have been offended. The fire of your self-righteousness must diminish and die in the humble ashes of forgiveness.

I will not lead you into temptation and I will deliver you from evil… as long as you are willing to kneel with Me and pray in your own garden of Gethsemane. And I promise you victory, for indeed, Mine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, the Majesty, the Wisdom and all that I have, all that I am, I give to thee, for you are My children, and I am your Father.

Pray without ceasing - I Thessalonians 5:17


Oh Ye Shepherds

Oh Ye Shepherds Thus saith the Lord of hosts, again in this place, which is without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. Jeremiah 33:12

Oh ye shepherds, cause your flocks to lie down. Teach them to rest in Christ, and refresh them there from still waters cupped in His hands. Oh, ye shepherds, is there any other rest? I know of none, saith the Lord. Oh, ye shepherds, cause your flocks to lie down. Now they run from words to words. There is no rest in words, unless they are from My mouth. Oh, ye shepherds cause your flocks to lie down, feed them My words and they shall have rest.

I have called you to teach them the words to My song. So many are only humming the melody. Teach them the words.
