(Joshua 5:13— 7:15) After reading about the success and preparation for the battle of Jericho and the fallowing failure of the battle of Ai; the Lord spoke to me:
“When I give clear direction to you to prepare for a miracle, take what I say seriously and follow every detail and instruction; for your obedience is critical. In it is blessing or cursing, in the using My authority and power to accomplish through you great and mighty exploits.
If you proceed to without direction or fail to listen for direction, or proceed in disobedience, you will reap failure, destruction or even death. As it this affected Moses, Joshua, Saul, and many others, and those under their authority; it will be no different to you and others.
All who are mine are to summit to My authority, if they are to operate in the workings of My power. Because great power requires great discipline and obedience, and those who take this lightly will suffer severe consequences.
But those who are trusted obedient bond servants will reap great benefit and blessing from Me. And to them I will give the keys to My kingdom.
I am recruiting all those who will follow all my instructions, to become powerful living testimonies unto Me, and to exhibit the fullness of who I Am. To those who accept the challenge, we will become one together in love and purpose.
It is accelerating to a point of extreme contrast between good and evil. Those who become consumed by evil will possess the powers of darkness working through them, and on their behalf. Many will be exhibiting supernatural powers to deceive many, to draw them away from the truth of the gospel.
But greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. For you have the greater power to subdue and destroy the workings of the evil ones.
Are you willing to take a stand? To walk in My ways, in complete obedience and in faith believing that I can and will do all that I say I will do? Obedience is a determination and an act of your will; but what about your faith?
Faith doesn’t come automatically, but it come through trials, testing, experience, personal relationship with Me, knowing My words and receiving the imparting of the gift of faith when it is needed.
And as you draw closer to Me, I will draw closer to you, so that your faith will grow. As a seed grows into a mature tree, so also your faith will grow as I display my continued faithfulness to you.”
