Word to The Ecclesia: We are living in a New Era, and The Lord is speaking “Now” words to His Bride, to His Ecclesia. Sitting at the feet of The Lord, I heard Him say: The enemy has been extremely crafty in the strategic placement of his vessels; who look like doves, but are actually wolves[1]. Pray for discernment amongst My faithful ones and I will give it. There are not enough watchmen on the wall[2]. I am calling for the arising of more watchmen on the wall. I certainly call My faithful ones to “watch and pray”; but right now, I am focusing on The Watch. More are needed up on the wall to be diligently watching[3]. [The Lord then brought to my mind a dream I had recently, in which I saw what He called His “Mighty Fortress”, sitting up on a hill. It looked like a great ancient walled city, much like the wall around the Old City of Jerusalem, with watch towers above the wall.] Stand at the top of My Mighty Fortress, and from My Watchtower — WATCH. I am calling My watchmen to stand guard and watch from this wall[4]. From atop the wall of My Mighty Fortress[5], My watchmen will see with My vision – through My eyes — exactly where the enemy has planted his imposters[6]. I have entrusted many within My faithful remnant with the maturity and wisdom to see and know what to do (My Issachars[7]), but they must first be willing to stand and watch. [He then showed me a picture of warriors in full armor, standing guard and marching around the top of His Fortress. In addition to the expected armor, they were also wearing night vision goggles.] Along with putting on the “full armor of God[8]”, you are to put on heaven’s military issue, night vision goggles; so that you can see what is hiding in the dark. I will illuminate it before you as you faithfully stand watch[9]. You are My victorious Army of Light. Before you even go into battle, the victory is already yours[10]! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [1] Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” [2] Isaiah 6:6-7 “I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace, day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.” [3] To Watch – [Strong’s] “To give strict attention to, be cautious, active; to take heed lest through remission and indolence some destructive calamity suddenly overtake one.” [4] Watchtower: 2 Samuel 18:24 “Now David was sitting between the two gates [Pulpit Commentary – “The gateway was in a tower in the city walls”]. And the watchman went up to the roof over the gate, to the wall, lifted his eyes and looked, and there was a man, running alone.” [5] Mighty Fortress: Psalm 91 – “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.’ Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. ‘Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.’” [6] Imposter – “Someone who attempts to deceive by using an assumed name or identity or other devious disguise.” [7] 1 Chronicles 12:32 “… the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do….” [8] Ephesians 6:10-18 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil…. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit….” [9] Luke 8:17 “For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.” [10] Verses about His Promised Victory: Deuteronomy 20:3-4 “Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” 1 Corinthians 15:57 “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Chronicles 20:15 “And [the Spirit of the Lord] said, ‘Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.’” 1 John 5:4 “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” Luke 10:19 “Behold, I [Jesus] give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life.” Romans 8:37 “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Until Next Time….
