Continuing from the last post, in preparing for God's shift:
We are Filled with his spirit and we are Forgiven, now we must be Fortified.
Fortified: to protect or strengthen against attack; surround or provide with defensive military works; to make strong, impart strength or vigor to; to strengthen mentally or morally.
Make no mistake about it, WE ARE AT WAR.
Appointed by the Creator we are on the battlefield defending the true King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Because this is a strategic war, we can not sleep on the powers of this world, the one we are fighting against. You see, he was once apart of our camp and he has sent others into our camp grounds while we were asleep to capture our soliders and seek out our next move, for use against us! It is important to know that we are God's spiritual warriors riding under his banner of truth. Being Filled with his Spirit and Wisdom as well as walking in Forgiveness allows us the strength to hold up the Sword of the Spirit. We are ineffective without the Sword of the Spirit.
To be fortified, we have to return to where it all began...THE WORD OF GOD.
John 1:1 KJV: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
In this battle, we must study and know God's holy teachings, hold to his covenants & principles, and examine ourselves.
2 Tim. 2:15 NAB
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
Think about when you first enlisted in God's army, how excited you were. Remember those that were there with you, ready to fight, ready to defend the cross along side with you?
Where are they now? Aren't some of them now fighting against us?
It is because somewhere down the line, they left the covering of the spirit of truth.
Saints of God, this is not a game. There is a shift that will happen whether you are ready or not. Be prepared, study the scriptures. Take a moment to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and to prepare you to receive God's Word and to USE God's Word. Do not allow the enemy to trick you with the concerns of this world. Be ready for The King of Kings and His righteous reign. Take up the Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God)!
Hebrews 4:12:
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword...
Learn to wield the sword of the spirit with precision, strength, and control. To advance the kingdom of God, you must become a master swordsman. This means consistent, habitual training. Perfect your skill in the scriptures; be faithful each day to study God's Word.
Doing this, you will be fortified for the shift.
