I believe that the Lord would have me share a word from His written Word. It is for His people, called by His name. It is important that we heed (understand) this because it will be safeguard for us.

Prayer: “Dear God, give us eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to understand so we can avoid the pitfalls that the evil one has planned for us. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.”

Ephesians 6:10-13 states in NKJV: “Finally 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. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 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.” Verses 14-18, tells us what this armor is: Truth, Righteousness, The Gospel of Peace, Faith, Salvation, The Word of God, Prayer and Prayer in the Spirit. We are told to be watchful to the end with All perseverance and supplication for All the saints.

Isaiah 8:11–9:7 (NIV): 11 This is what the LORD says to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people:

  12 “Do not call conspiracy 
     everything this people calls a conspiracy; 
     do not fear what they fear, 
     and do not dread it. 
  13 The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, 
     He is the one you are to fear, 
     He is the one you are to dread. 
  14 He will be a holy place; 
     for both Israel and Judah. He will be 
     a stone that causes people to stumble 
     and a rock that makes them fall. 
     And for the people of Jerusalem He will be 
     a trap and a snare. 
  15 Many of them will stumble; 
     they will fall and be broken, 
     they will be snared and captured. 

  16 Bind up this testimony of warning 
     and seal up God’s instruction among my disciples. 
  17 I will wait for the LORD, 
     who is hiding his face from the descendants of Jacob. 
     I will put my trust in Him. 

18 Here am I, and the children the LORD has given me. We are signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD Almighty, who dwells on Mount Zion.
19 When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 Consult God’s instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. 21 Distressed and hungry, they will roam through the land; when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse their king and their God. 22 Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom, and they will be thrust into utter darkness.
9 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—

  2 The people walking in darkness 
     have seen a great light; 
     on those living in the land of deep darkness 
     a light has dawned. 
  3 You have enlarged the nation 
     and increased their joy; 
     they rejoice before you 
     as people rejoice at the harvest, 
     as warriors rejoice 
     when dividing the plunder. 
  4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, 
     you have shattered 
     the yoke that burdens them, 
     the bar across their shoulders, 
     the rod of their oppressor. 
  5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle 
     and every garment rolled in blood 
     will be destined for burning, 
     will be fuel for the fire. 
  6 For to us a child is born, 
     to us a son is given, 
     and the government will be on His shoulders. 
     And He will be called 
     Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, 
     Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 
  7 Of the greatness of His government and peace 
     there will be no end. 
     He will reign on David’s throne 
     and over His kingdom, 
     establishing and upholding it 
     with justice and righteousness 
     from that time on and forever. 
     The zeal of the LORD Almighty 
     will accomplish this.

I ask you to read this, asking the Lord for clarity for what He is saying to us while it is Today. These words were for God’s people then and for His people now. I see God’s people tired and warn. The Lord keeps telling me that this is just the beginning of the end and that what we are experiencing is “boot camp”, preparing us for the end time preceding His return. Matthew 24:4-8.

I leave you with the following scriptures:

Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV): “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 24:10-14 (NIV): “At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come.
