I want you to give voice to My Word. When you speak My Word out loud, My angels come to attention. They always stand ready to help you. However, they are activated by My Word. Also My Word does not become the sword of the Spirit until you speak My Word out loud.
My Holy Spirit speaks to you in a still quiet voice, and often He gives you verses of Scripture that He wants you to speak out loud. Today, pay special attention to the times when verses come to your mind. Satan cannot read your mind, so speak those verses out loud. The battle, of course, is in your mind, but the penetration of the evil realm of the spirit does not happen until you make declarations from My Word out loud.
If you are in a place where you cannot resist My enemy with the sword of the Spirit, then excuse yourself for a moment and then speak the words My Spirit gives you to speak. Often the atmosphere in a tough relationship where there is striving and arguments will clear, when you take time to do this.
PSALM 103:20; EPHESIANS 6:17

WRESTLE
It is no use for you to mentally wrestle with worries or relationally wrestle with people. By that I mean that you use up all of your strength thinking about how things might be in the future or you use up all of your strength by trying to prove your point to others.
Paul wrote that believers do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but they wrestle against principalities, powers, rulers, and wickedness in high places. When you recognize that you are wrestling with demonically inspired people and thoughts, you will know now to resist the devil.
When relationships are strained to the point where accusations and judgments are declared, rest assured that you are not dealing with people. You are dealing with the devil. When your mind is bound by worry and fear, you also are dealing with the devil. Put on the full armor, call upon Me, declare My name, bind the demons in My blood and command them to go where I will deal with them. I long to fight your battles, but first you must submit yourself to Me and then resist the devil.

TRAUMA
I said that in the world you will experience tribulation, but I then reminded My followers that they could be of good cheer because they know that I have overcome the world. Going thru a traumatic time is not at all easy.
You may ask, "How can I even go on even one minute more?" I hear this question often from My beloved. My response is for My beloved to take one minute at a time, and call on My strength for that minute. Also, I sent My Holy Spirit to comfort those who are experiencing traumatic situations. Ask for the help of My Spirit.
It is important that you keep your eyes focused on those things above and not on the things on this Earth. The minute you feel those sinking feelings again, speak My name out loud, and give the burden to Me. I came to make your burden light, but I can only do this when you release every care to Me.

POWER
I have heard many of My beloved question where did the power go in the church? My Spirit is the very power that enables those who believe in Me to demonstrate My works on Earth. When I walked on Earth, I demonstrated that power as a man. Now that I have been raised from the dead, all those who believe in Me have the same power that raised Me from the dead dwelling in their mortal bodies.
The power has not gone out of My body of believers on Earth. The problem is that many believers have not tapped into that power. This is why My brother James exhorted those who believe in Me to submit themselves to God and resist the devil.
Today and every day submit your body to Me as a living sacrifice as My friend Paul urged all believers to do. Then yield moment by moment to that resurrection power within you. Listen carefully to Me as I direct you to do the very same works that I did while I walked on Earth. You have the power to do even greater works than I ever did.

MINUTES
Wait a minute!!! This is an expression used by many to get people to slow down. I asked My disciples to wait while I went to My Father to pray. They fell asleep. When I returned, I exclaimed, "Could you not watch one hour?
I gave two instructions before I left this Earth. Those instructions were to watch and to pray. The minutes of your life go by so fast. It seems that people are wasting precious time with Me because they are too busy to spend at least an hour with Me daily.
You may think that one hour is too much. However, you can break that hour into 15 minute increments all the day long. The hour is coming soon when you will no longer be able to labor in My kingdom. I ask you today to spend one hour with Me. You can start by praying while you are driving in traffic.
Every minute is precious because you do not know when the thief will come to steal minutes away from you. Do not allow My enemy to steal your precious time with Me.

CARING
Sometimes you will encounter people who need much more care than others. In most cases these people have broken hearts through rejection. Such people are not able to follow through on projects, and they fantasize that everything is just fine when it is not. Such people often escape their rejection through denial. That way the rejection does not hurt so much.
Sensitivity to such people can only come from My Holy Spirit. It would be much easier for you in the flesh to just write such people off and make the decision not minister to them because the ministry to such people is usually endless.
It grieves Me that few in My body, are willing to take the time and the care to minister to people who have received much rejection. I came to heal the broken hearted, and I will always supply you to strength to minister to people. Lift broken hearted people up in prayer and then minister to them in My power. I can give rejected people beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning. Give yourself as a willing vessel to minister to these precious treasures of mine.

JOIN
Life was simple when I walked on Earth. However, we did not have all the conveniences that you have today. Even with all the conveniences to make work in the home and on the job easier, so many believers busy themselves in their leisure time with sports, clubs, and other activities. It seems almost that they are running away from spending quiet time with Me..
Such earthly activities will not produce lasting fruit in My kingdom. I long for you and those who are called by My name to join Me in prayer before their busy day begins. I pray that they will commit their day to Me and their works to Me so that My Spirit can establish their thoughts all through the day.
Today, commit your works and your way to Me. Ask My Spirit to help you prioritize your activities. My Spirit will help you determine what activities will produce lasting fruit. Be willing to drop the activities that produce no lasting fruit.
PSALM 37:5; PROVERBS 16:3
