As I was praying, I heard God saying, “Lift up your heads, oh My people, and fix your eyes upon Me. For know that as you look upon My face and as you gaze into My eyes, you will be restored, strengthened and transformed. For know My people that I am calling you at this time to come and to sit within My presence, to be equipped in My presence and to take hold of the full armour that I Myself have given you, to place that armour upon yourself, to gird up your loins and to stand ready for action before Me. For I Myself am calling you at this time to rise up into that preparedness, to rise up into that readiness and to be ready to move at My command. For know that as I speak that vision into your life, and as I speak that plan and purpose into your life for what I Myself am calling you to at this time. Know that I am asking you to be ready to move with that and to run with that vision, and to pursue Me above all else. For this is a time and a season in which I am calling you to be fully clothed in the armour of God, to be fully ready and to stand firmly in the knowledge that I Myself go with you, that I am the Almighty God and that I will uphold you, sustain you and strengthen you as you pursue the things that I have laid before you.”
Ephesians 6:13-17 – Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
1 Peter 1:13 – Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ
Let us be prepared and ready, seeking God above all else and pursuing the vision that He has given us
