MARCH

You used to sing the song, "Onward Christian Soldiers, marching as to war."  You are definitely in a period of darkness, and some of My prayer warriors are getting weary.  

This is not a time to become weary.  As you supplicate for your nation, give thanks to Me for I am hearing your prayers.

This is not a time to break rank.  This is a time for you to join with fellow warriors who will keep marching because they have confidence in Me that I will lead them to victory.  Pray for all My prayer warriors to join with others in prayer, and you will see the victory.

JOEL 2

GREAT

 David wrote the following song about My city: "Great is the LORD , and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King (Psalm 48:1-2).

This psalm is about the beautiful city where I live and how it is situated in a special place on the sides of the North.  However, I know that when you sing this song, you interpret it to mean that I am beautiful for every situation.

Many of My saints find themselves in a hard place in life.  I will help them to get through those hard places because truly I am able to make all things beautiful.

PSALM 48:1-2

ADOPTION

I came to heal those who have broken hearts.  Most broken-hearted people have had some trauma or abuse in their lives that has opened a door to My enemy. My enemy is a bully, and he always takes advantage of people who are vulnerable.

I was despised and rejected by men, so I can understand how rejected people feel.  Ever since Satan was rejected by My Father and thrown out of heaven, Satan wants everyone to experience rejection.

My Word is the only way you can successfully fight the stronghold of rejection that Satan puts in your mind.  The Word that you can use to resist Satan when you have feelings of rejection is: "For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby you can cry, Abba Father."  My Father is a loving Father who will never reject you.

ROMANS 8:15

MAKER

I am the maker of heaven and earth.  By Me, for Me, and through Me was everything created.  The psalmist said, "O come let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our maker (Psalm 95:6)."

I made created you in My image.  Romans 8:29: "For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." You are going through a period of darkness when My enemy is trying to steal the identity of even small children.  

Pray for those little children who are being taught that they can be anything that they want to be.  These lies of Satan need to be bound.  Release My Spirit of Truth to invade those classrooms where such lies are being taught.

COLOSSIANS 1:16; PSALM 95:6; ROMANS 8:29

DRAW

I told my disciples that if I be lifted up above the earth, I will draw all men unto Me.  The disciples did not understand because they did not know that I would be crucified.

When I was lifted up upon the tree and was crucified as the perfect sin sacrifice, I made it possible to draw all men to Me.  Sadly, many have chosen not to believe in the forgiveness for sins that I freely gave to all who would believe in Me.

My Holy Spirit has the drawing power to convict people of their sins, and this power is being displayed in many places.  Pray for many unbelievers to be overwhelmed by this power and confess Me as their LORD and Savior.

JOHN 12:32

HARDEN

You live in a day when many are falling away from faith in Me.  This is a time when My body on Earth should be exhorting one another to keep the faith.

The writer of Hebrews faced this same problem and wrote the following: "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end (Hebrews 3:12-14)."

I want you to see how important it is to exhort believers to hold on to Me in faith during these very dark days.  You have known the joy of being in My presence, and I want you to exhort others to have quality time with Me daily.

HEBREWS 3:12-14

DEAR

What is dear to you?  Paul wrote this: "But  none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, that I have received of the LORD Jesus to testify the gospel of the grace of God (Acts 20:24)."

What is dear to you? The word, "dear," in your language means "worthy of great value."  Paul is saying that the most valued thing in his life was to finish the race and complete the ministry that I gave him which was to spread My good news of grace to others.

Is spreading the gospel of great value or even more value to you than your own life.  There are multitudes who have died in order to spread the gospel.  I pray that you consider spreading My gospel to others as worthy of great value.

ACTS 20:24
