Proverbs 16:17: The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who keeps his way preserves his soul. 1 Peter 5:8: Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 4:7: The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Colossians 4:2: Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful
Daughter, the enemy is doing this to all My children (After prayer and spending time with the Lord, I sat to wait upon Him and I felt like there was a disconnection, like the lord was quiet. So I had to wait for quite some time. This is what He’s speaking on). I would not be quiet on you when you have sacrificed to come to Me in prayer. He is luring you and stealing precious time from My children and I will not allow this any longer. If you don’t wait long enough, you will give up, get up and go, just like you did yesterday (This happened the day before, I did give up and left to do other things). Yet, when you went to My word, I was speaking, how is that? The times are perilous for Me to be silent on My children, while he is busy speaking to his own.
It’s time to press in all the more because you are connected to me at all times. Very, very dark days are ahead and I am your only anchor and light during these times. Most people even My children are not seeking Me in Spirit and in Truth. Many are focused on the things of the world and so they are getting easily distracted and wasting a lot of precious time. Part of this is that they think they are ready because they are saved. Nothing is automatic, you must continue to work out your own salvation. Majority of them believe in pre-trib. rapture and so they pay no heed to My warnings to prepare and put their houses in order. In fact, if you believe in rapture, all the more you need to prepare.
So the enemy is not just sitting by, he is doing everything in his power to bring you down and to stop My plans. But he will not accomplish it for it is time for My plans to come to pass in your life as well as the world. You know what time it is, so you cannot afford to slumber. You must continually keep watch, not just for My return, but your heart, that you may not grow weary and allow sin to creep in unhindered. Watch your thoughts very, very much because the mind is the target of the enemy. So you must be careful what you allow to come into your mind, what you are giving access to. This is why the only safe place is being in My word and in prayer. Do not sit in front of your TV’s for this is the biggest tool of the enemy to disseminate his lies and agenda. Do not give ear to many voices, even your favourite preachers, come to the secret place and I will speak to you. Read My words only, you will see the revelation I shall bring to you. It is what you need now.
Understand the schemes of the enemy and shut the door in his face. Be careful of offenses that get you off balance. Do not lose your energy to him. See it for what it is and react in the most loving way, not from your flesh. Your flesh is your enemy and this is the warfare you wage daily between your spirit and your flesh. When you remain in My word and in prayer you will keep your flesh in check and work to altogether kill it! It’s called dying to self daily. Everything Satan entices you with is in your flesh, so if you work to kill your flesh he will have nothing to lure you with-the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the boasting and pride of life, will be gone.
This should be the journey of every believer, working towards killing your flesh by denying yourself daily ad picking up your cross to follow me and nailing your flesh at Calvary like I did. This is how you die and resurrect to a new being just like I did. Glory can only come after resurrection from the dead. Meditate on these things and I will reveal more to you. Seek and you will find. Run your race very intentionally knowing there are distractions on all sides. So fix your eyes only on Me and you will finish well.
John 15:5: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
Luke 21:34-36: “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
Luke 21:34-36: “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
Romans 12:2: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
2 Corinthians 2:10-11: Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
Luke 17:1: He said to his disciples, “Offenses will certainly come,[a] but woe to the one through whom they come!
Galatians 5:16-18: I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Luke 9:23: Then he said to them all, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.
James 1:13-15: No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by God,” since God is not tempted by evil, and he himself doesn’t tempt anyone. But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desire. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.
Philippians 3:10-11: My goal is to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,1 assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead.
1 John 2:15-17: Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one’s possessions—is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does the will of God remains forever.
Matthew 7:7: “Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.
Hebrews 12:1-2: Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every hindrance and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus] the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
