Arise worship warriors, arise! For your God has seen your low estate and He has heard your cries from on high.
Right in the midst of the taunting of your enemy there is coming a roar and loud cry in the heavens over your lives that will drown out the voice of your enemy. Its reverberations will shake your enemy loose from your lives and cut him off long before he can get to you.
You see your chains BUT your God hears your praise. You see and feel the wind and stormy seas around about you BUT I see a glorious new day over your horizon… You feel the quaking under your feet but it is I who is causing it. I am shaking all that can be shaken and just as it was in Peter's prison long ago…..the chains will fall off and you will walk out of your prison untouched and unscathed.
Trust in Me even though I know it feels hard and confusing and the pain overwhelms you at times. KNOW that your cry has moved Me to answer you, for you could have turned away from the Living God and yet, you have clung to ME even more fiercely.
Your heart has blessed Me. Your love for Me has taken aback the Father of Lights in whom there is no variation or shifting of shadows and the Father will pour out His good gifts upon all of you. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!
Say to your mountain, "Move out of my way!!"
DO not fear little ones…..you have more strength and power than you realize. I have given you all your voice back. Use your voice and say what YOUR great God says!
I will help you make decisions. I will give you wisdom and understanding in your dealings. I will give you favor for you are all highly favored of ME.
KNOW that like Hannah I have heard the cries for your children. I have seen your offering of tears poured at My throne for the lives of your children. There is coming that day when they will understand the cost you have paid to honor Me with your life. They will look to you as their example of faith and unrelenting trust in Your God and stir their hearts to look for the Ancient Path…and I will take their hand and lead them to the WAY everlasting.
I will laugh at your enemy and bring derision in his camp. When he tries to get you one way I will block him and his plans will come to naught right before your eyes. For it is the Lord who has purposed that His daughters will be free and led to safety. He has arranged a date with each of HIS Beloved(s) that will sweep them off their feet.
God knows and sees that it has been like thick darkness covering over you and hiding His glory. His plans and purposes however, will prevail. Look for the Lord in everything. Look for Him to show up for you in unexpected places. God knows how to send help from His sanctuary right when you need it.
Do not always say, "Lord, it seems like my enemy is winning"…NO! I am setting your enemy up and he will fall into the trap and pit he thought was made for you.
I see everything. I am WITH you all. I will come for you and visit you in your dreams. I will speak tenderly to you and in this way you will know it is the Lord. I am interceding for your lives with the Father and He HEARS Me. He always hears ME. Because I am in you and you are in Me, your Abba hears you too.
Arise in strength, daughters of God! Arise and go forth and watch your crooked path become straight. Watch and see that no enemy can take you out of my hand. Watch as what once lay in ruins be rebuilt into a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit filled with My light and glory.
You may think all around you is dead….but that is just what you can see with your human eyes. Some things must die so I can bring new life, a new strength, a new wineskin to pour into.
I will give you new eyesight and you will experience seeing past what is in front of you and instead see and know I am in the midst of you. Fear not little ones for the Father loves you. Fear not and look to Me in your trial as a handmaiden looks to her God.

WONDERful message Susan. Like you, I did not know those facts about the Packers. What great wisdom you found from Dad! TY for sharing it!
You’re a treasure, Cyn… thanks 🙂
Hi Susan,
I don't think that you've been found lacking. I believe that God is propelling you into a new season. You will always be a nice person , because that's how Papa God created you. But I think it's marvelous that you are discovering your No Nonsense attitude. Can't imagine you going overboard and turning into a unpleasant person.
To everything there is a season and to everything there is a time. We live in a not so nice world , but we need to remember that our light needs to be as bright as possible. Just let God lead you and flow in his spirit. I might be more of an outspoken person but I don't suffer Fools gladly because I am a Christian. And believe me my season of being this "Nice Christian Sister" is long over.
Stand up against the mountain of intimidation and dress yourself in your Warrior Clothes. Let your wisdom and knowlege run out into the battlefield. Don't cower down any longer, Victory has been yours for long time. Cease the moment and be a Blessing to a broken Generation.
With much Love
Gertraud
Dear Gertraud,
Although you live clear over the pond, as they say, I can FEEL the intensity of your warrior spirit! Please do be contagious!
I receive your fiery words of encouragement… thanks so much!
Part of a hymn keeps looping through the scattered threads in my mind this morning, following publishing this article: "… all other ground is sinking sand." Our hope is built on Jesus Christ, the solid rock…the Truth.
All of the world's illusions (the sum total of our earthly existence, apart from Christ) is like shifting sand. Why do I try so hard to protect the sand of illusion? Pretty sandcastles, it's all it is. I don't want to disturb the peace and tranquility that devotion to our illusions provides… I'm wimpy, is all it really is.
The prophets were never popular in their own day… they spoke the words that shattered the illusions. Were they as afraid as I am, at times? The beauty is discovering the real world, as it emerges from the ruins. God makes beauty out of ashes. And that's the Truth!
Hey, great msg today. I think I completely understand what you're saying. I understand, we are women & don't think like a man. We want ppl to get along. & get scared of what backlash may come.
I get afraid of confrontation, also. A good person to follow is R.C. Sproul Jr. he says it like it is! Good inspiration for us!
If you know that God has spoken to you/thru you, then go ahead & say it.
Good words, Jenny… well said! Yes, the way men and women think is so different. Perhaps that's why most football players are men. There's a lot to be said for the say, "It's a man's world". That's changing, isn't it? As more women are rising up, gaining their voices, and taking action. I believe the world is changing, even as we are changing, from the inside out.
Thanks so much, Jenny… there is great wisdom in you!
