BE VIGILANT IN THIS HOUR

–Definition of Vigilant—

[adjective] 1. Keeping careful watch for possible danger or difficulties.

As previously spoken, it is imperative in this hour that we remain vigilant. In light of recent events, this word came quickly and with a great sense of urgency. There is tremendous movement and shaking happening in our land as well as in the heavenly realm. In this hour, remember who you are and who you represent! We are the children of the light! We are a royal priesthood! We represent the King of Kings! Guard your heart and your tongue, for the enemy is looking for whom he may devour. The trap of offense and the temptation of strife and division can be the very snare that he will use against you in the courts of heaven! BE VIGILANT, for this is the trap we must avoid!

WE DO NOT WRESTLE AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD

I hear the Lord saying, “Let love and wisdom be your anchor in this hour! Breathe in My Shalom Peace! Receive My comfort! Refuse to be drawn into foolish debates and recognize where the true battle lies!”

“For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 NLT

“For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:4 ESV

LIGHT AND DARKNESS

“My Bride! Greater discernment is at hand for you and will be needed in this hour. To whom much is given, much will be required! Step into the next level and come higher with Me! Incline your ear to Me! Call upon Me and I will show you great and mighty things that you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3). Press in! Press into Me! Things are shifting in the earth! Watch closely and be wise! What worked in one season may not necessarily work in this season. You will know the desires of My heart as you draw closer to Me! Then you will stand and declare what is to be established in the courts of heaven!”

“The clashing of light and darkness will continue to intensify! Have I not told you in My word that the darkness on the earth will grow even darker but the light will shine even brighter? Even so, do not shrink back! You are My salt and light! A city on a hill cannot be hidden! Do not dim your light and do not shrink back to fit in with the world. I have called you to shine bright so others would see Me through you! Walk forward in My strength and in My wisdom. Let everything you do be done in love for I am holding you together!”, says the Lord of Hosts.

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14 NLT
