Step into me

Step into me

Just as an army of soldiers move in unison and cause the ground to shake, so have I called you to walk in unison with me. When you step into me and walk as I walk, the enemy trembles.

He doesn't just see you but he sees a whole army of warriors. As you step into me, you are stepping into my strength and you are clothed with the victory I won for you two thousand years ago. When he sees that, he runs in defeat.

Do not try to run on your own accord and do not try to be strong in yourself, says the Lord. For as you go into battle by yourself, clothed with nothing but a little sword, the enemy will laugh and take you down in a heartbeat. But as you take on what I have given you and as you walk as me, you will be strong and victorious.

When the heat of the battle is on and the enemy seems to hide in every corner of your life, it is tempting to just pick up whatever weapon you can find and rush out to chase him away. It is in those times though my child that I call you to come and hide in my presence.

It is in those times when the warfare seems intense and it seems as though the enemy is gaining much ground that you find the greatest weapons by simply resting in my presence.

As you come to me and find refuge in my strong arms I am equipping you. You may not feel anything or you may not even realize it but as you hide in my presence I am clothing you in my glory and arming you in my armor of power.

When you step out of my presence to face the enemy once again, you are going in my power and then it is as I said to you earlier, the enemy will not see little you, he will feel as though a whole army is coming against him.

He will see me and he will see my name branded on your shield. The only thing he feels like doing when he sees that is run. So hide in my presence and let me equip you with my weapons of warfare, says the Lord.
