Battle orders

Early morning prayer time

preparing for battle

I received His orders:

Arise and move into position

arise and arm yourselves

there is a battle that you do not see

but ask of Me

and I will increase your spiritual vision

ask of Me

and I will give you ears to hear

Arise and man your stations

I have a designated place

for each of you

Together you stand

together you fight

and I Am in your midst

yes, I Am at the core

your Defender

your Protector

your Provider

I Am the Lord strong and mighty

Arise and take courage

your God Is ever with you

like Gideon, declare My victory

Mine is a Kingdom of love

and the war has already been won

When I and all who are with me blow the trumpet (ram’s horn), 

then all around the camp you also blow the trumpets and shout,

 ‘For the Lord and for Gideon!’

Judges 7:18 Amplified

 

Sword sharpening

I do not lift

my pen alone

but wait in silent prayer

for His prompting

acknowledging the power

words have to break, to build

to begin a war

or declare victory

All I write

a pale shadow

of His heart

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, 

it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; 

it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 

Hebrews 4:12 NIV

Cherishing His ways with Jennifer

Stranger

Voice of the enemy
like old vinyl, scratched
caught in a groove
screeches endless
repetitions

You do not belong

It sneaks in
through cracks
leaves trails of shame
muffles truth
creates barriers

I step away from others
as it knocks me down
and comes in
for the kill

You do not belong
you are different, odd
not like the rest

Yet a voice
wiser, clearer
rises in perfect pitch

A harmonious Yes

You do not belong
for you are set apart
a stranger here
by My design

Rejoice
alien, child of Mine
Rejoice
Stranger by HisFireFly
