Strengthen Yourself
[ Back to Articles ]
August 23, 2006
The Word of the Lord came to me saying “Strengthen yourself.” Immediately, I saw myself standing with my arms up, as though I was putting on a garment. Then I heard the words, “Gird your loins with truth.” I saw myself tightening a belt around my hips. Next, I heard “Bring every thought into obedience.” And then, “Get ready for war. This is the Day of Battle.”
Not only are God’s natural people going to war, but God’s spiritual people are facing the enemy as never before. We are under attack. There is a tremendous onslaught against our minds and spirits. I believe this is the beginning of the “Battle of the Ages.” Satan is no longer under-cover. He is no longer in the closet, but coming at believers with vicious attacks.
There are three levels of prayer we need to be aware of: There is prayer that is fellowshipping with God. Then, there is prayer that let’s our petitions be known. The third level of prayer is real “Faith Prayer.” It is speaking God’s Word and declaring it done!When we pray…”Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.” We are releasing the Holy Spirit to move on earth as He already moves in heaven. He knows what we have need of but He wants us to ask, so that He can release it. Begin to declare the will of God over your life and your family. Speak words of faith knowing that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Strengthen yourself! Gird up the loins of your mind and bring every thought into submission to Him. We are at war but God’s people shall be victorious….because of Him.
Isaiah 45:11….Thus saith the LORD, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command ye me.
