Today’s Living Word: Thursday – Spiritual Warfare!

4–5 minutes

Jesus Christ speaks prophecy of how to war in peace: 

Today is not for the faint hearted, but for the lion hearted! Rise up now my beloved army of warriors, and roar! Gather your courage for a long night of warfare and strap on your armor to prepare for battle. You have been given great visions of your glorious futures and now you know what you are fighting for. Words are your weapons, so choose them wisely and be strategic with your conversations. Look to me for who you should speak to and with whom you should stand. Choose not by your flesh nor by your past. A long friendship may be the entrance for evil and some of your family members will be heralding fiery darts sent by the wicked one. Ask of me before giving anyone your time or your ear.  

Walk above the things of the world now. Step up to a higher plane and do not partake in the backbiting, murmurings and gossip that are about to swamp your airwaves. Let peace be your guide and speak of things that make for peace. Love your neighbor – even if they are “for” your enemy. Politics are for those running for office, and yet many live and die by every little commentary and news cycle. Do your part by casting your vote and believe me when I say that all things are working together for good. First the sprout, then the blade and finally, the ear. 

Do all you can now to be settled and safe, for what is about to break loose is not of me nor authored by our Father. The evil one has plotted and schemed to cause great destruction. I see his secret plans and have warned all I can to be out of harms way. Some have moved, some I will move just in time. Be focused in prayer for your brothers and sisters now and begin to pray without ceasing, for a heavy darkness is coming. 

Be pillars of light and strength now! This is what I have trained you for, and for this VERY hour you were made. Offer shelter, comfort, and refuge from the storm to all who seek you out.

(And Poetry for the finish)

Do not judge by colors of red or blue, nor by the appearance of those needing you,

But stand in faith and harmony as one with me, and soon a great and mighty victory your tear-filled eyes will see.

Stand, speak, fight – and light up the night! 

Today’s Written Word

I Thessalonians 5:12-24 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you:

And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unrulycomfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ  Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit.

Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

A Word of Encouragement

The Lord is asking us to rise above the worldly gossip, murmurings and things that cause division. Today is a worldly holiday, one that blurs the line between good and evil, and that the evil ones promote as a sugary celebration for innocent children. The history of the day tells a different story, one that is focused on death and many rituals that are not of God. We stand in opposition to the darkness, we do not embrace it. So let us do as the scripture requires and be separate from the world, holy and active in prayer. Let’s stand up as spiritual warriors and cut down the dark forces that work to deceive. Let’s Stand, speak, and fight – and light up this night!
