Marching Forth
(Word of the Lord released on March 4, 2025.)
"My precious one, I know your desire to march forth into battle. I feel your struggle here in the tension between where you are and where you feel Me preparing to send you. I sense the wrestle within your soul that looks to escape its discomfort through busyness.
"It is human nature to strive towards tomorrow in an effort to quiet your inner world, but here, in your new creation identity, you must learn to cease your striving to make things happen and surrender all into My loving care. It is here in the waiting with Me that I am fashioning you as a weapon of war.
"So, let go of your fear. Let go of your own understanding of what 'it' will look like. Let go of your need to have it all figured out. Let go of trying to work for My pleasure. Let go of the relationships and activities that weigh you down and give you no freedom to soar. Loose yourself from the hindrances I have revealed to you. Be loosed from your unbelief, for I have need of you! Let it all go, and let Me be God.
The Space Between the "Call" and the "Send"
"Like a skilled archer who crafts his arrows, I have called you—a branch taken from the true vine which is Christ. Please listen carefully now as I say to you, many are called but few are chosen for active duty based on how they respond to this 'selah' season of preparation. Will you submit your will to My will, here in the space between 'the call' and 'the send'? Will you lean back and enter My rest so that My Spirit might rest over you in power?
"As you do, this is what I will do for you: In My love, I will remove your rough exterior to reveal the purity and strength of your core being that is in union with Me. This feels like a stripping away of all your defenses, but it is, in reality, a removal of all false coverings and a doing away with everything that you have relied on that is not Me. This is truly for your good, for it is only in naked vulnerability and dependence on My Spirit and My strength that you will be able to go where I am preparing to send you.
"As you submit to the sword of My Spirit, which is My written and freshly spoken Word, you allow Me to whittle away all of your inward leanings toward sin. As you invite My sharp sword to perform surgery on your inward parts, I am given permission to straighten out all that is crooked so that you might be upright within My sight and able to soar with laser precision to hit the mark ahead.
"As you take in and conform to My Word, it will fashion in your mouth a sharp, double-edged blade that, when spoken, will separate flesh and spirit to reveal what is hidden within the souls of those who hear it. This word within you will cut through all demonic resistance that would attempt to stop you short of the mark. Like a fiery arrow of My love, it will rend the heavens and break through barriers as it pierces the deepest depths of the human heart; and it will set them ablaze, like an unstoppable, unquenchable flame of desire to know Me, even as you have come to know Me in this preparation season.
Your Mighty Warrior Father and the Pullback of His Arrow
"Because you have chosen Me as your refuge and your strength, I have chosen to cover you in the shelter of My feathers, where there is healing beneath My wings. I will assign angels to assist you. They will watch over you in your coming and going and will be a rear guard to help guide, protect, and propel you forward into all I have for you.
"It is through this process that you come to know Me more completely as your Father, a mighty warrior who saves, and you discover that you are My arrow, notched and ready for action. You were born for battle for such a time as this to bring honor to My name by defeating the evil that threatens this present age.
"I know that in this tension you have felt that I have pulled you back, away from My promises, but no, child, look again. The pullback has positioned you to be in perfect alignment with My ear, where I can hear the deepest longings of your heart. (Photo via Piqsels)
"The pullback has positioned you to be in perfect alignment with My lips so that you might be carried with acceleration on My breath—which is the wind and the whispers of My prophetic destiny for you—as an answer to the deep cries that echo from the depths of your being.
"The pullback has positioned you to be in perfect alignment with My eyes. Can you see what I see, child? Stop looking at your plans for tomorrow, and look instead into My eyes. See the reflection of the perfect trajectory and territory I have already marked out for you. I know the plans I have for you. Trust Me here in the tension of transition... Be alert and ready to go, but please don't rush Me as I aim you to be the answer to many prayers.
"Be still and know that I am the Lord your God, who launches you from love to be more than a conqueror for the sake of My Son and Our love for the world.
"Fear not, for I am your Daddy God who has His sights set on you and the ever-expanding, unfolding destiny I am sending you into."
