The Lord has been stressing the urgency of preparing the Body of Christ for the escalating spiritual warfare we are facing. Here is a word I received over the past two weeks:

The Lord says,

“This is a time to ensure that your oil—the intimacy you share with Me—is filled, so you don't fall behind during these challenging times. Regardless of what you face, don’t lose your place of intimacy with Me. Prioritize being at My feet, listening to My heart, and gaining My counsel. In these times, it is essential that you draw close to hear what I’m saying, know My guidance, and then move forward in triumph to dismantle the enemy's plans.

I have heard your cries for help, and I will come to your aid. Yet, I need you to be trained for spiritual battle in these times of great shaking. Get your house in order and align yourself apostolically within My house. It’s time to build up and activate My people, sending them forth into cities and nations to bring victory.

Remain in My love, but also stand as both My bride and My warrior. This is a critical era to dismantle the enemy's camps, but you must be trained and hear My counsel. Learn to fight spiritually and prepare to build practically, under My Spirit’s guidance. The time for justice has come, but I need My people positioned and ready to war and rebuild. Train and prepare quickly; then go forth, training others in return.

My hand is moving within the Church to remove what is unfit—those clinging to tradition and religious structures that lack My power. Shift camps and know that I encamp around those who fear Me and follow Me wholeheartedly. It is time for justice, and the hour is now.”

My encouragement to you is to stay deeply connected with Jesus. Ensure the church you attend is apostolically aligned and part of a leadership network that equips and builds you for this spiritual warfare. Look for a church operating in the five-fold ministry—Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, and Teacher—to fully mature in this hour.

This is a month to wisely discern your alignments and covenant relationships. Be cautious and prayerful before entering into new agreements.

May you receive wisdom from Jesus in making these important connections. May the Lord bless and keep you, and may His face shine upon you, bringing you into deeper intimacy and understanding of how to engage in spiritual warfare using the weapons of righteousness He has given you.
