Sharpen Your Plowshares and Sharpen Your Swords
Quiet your heart and hear what I have to say. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Come and quiet your heart and mind so that you can hear my voice speaking to you, for there is much I have to say. For too long my people have gone and done their own thing not consulting me on what to do or what to say. My ways are much higher than the ways man has been doing it and it’s time to make some major changes. My people have been weakened by the systems of man. It’s time to get moving in my ways across this land.
These systems designed by men have failed in their attempts to rise up in their level of authority. Instead, everything has been given into the hands of the enemy. It’s time to take back what rightfully belongs to you and push the enemy and his demons back to the abyss where they belong. Take back the territory that at one time once belonged solely to you. But your hearts and minds have been blinded by the evil schemes of the enemy leaving you with nothing in your hands.
Sharpen your plowshares and sharpen your swords. Let my people be made ready to fight in this war. It is a war that has already been won, but your job is to take back what was stolen from you. Remain calm, but be prepared to fight. Be prepared to fight in the Spirit using your sword. It is a double-edged sword able to cut back and forth cutting away at the lies of the enemy. It is the lies you must rebuke. Do not let the enemy’s lies cause you to shrink back in fear, but fight with my sword of truth and take back the territory that once belonged to you.
Convergence of my Spirit being wielded with my Truth will forge a mighty weapon as you speak my Word in Spirit and in Truth. Do not take what is happening all around you so lightly. Do not back down from every attempt by the enemy to push you down and back into the dark. Take new territory for my Kingdom and advance with the commands that I speak to you. Bring the things of Heaven to the earth and call forth my angels to assist you. They are here on the earth to assist you in taking back what was stolen from you.
Revelation 3:22 New Living Translation
22 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.”
Matthew 26:41 New Living Translation
41 Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”
Deuteronomy 6:10-12 The Voice
10 The Eternal your God promised your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you this land. When He brings you into it, you’ll live in beautiful and spacious cities you didn’t build. 11 You’ll have houses filled with good things waiting for you—cisterns to hold water already dug out of the rock for you, and vineyards and olive orchards that you didn’t plant. You’ll have all you want to eat and more. 12 When this happens, be very, very careful! Don’t forget it was the Eternal who brought you out of Egypt, where you were slaves.
Joel 3:9-13 Berean Standard Bible
9Proclaim this among the nations:
“Prepare for war;
rouse the mighty men;
let all the men of war
10Beat your plowshares into swords
and your pruning hooks into spears.
Let the weak say, ‘I am strong!’
11Come quickly, all you surrounding nations,
and gather yourselves.
Bring down Your mighty ones,
12Let the nations be roused
and advance to the Valley of Jehoshaphat,
for there I will sit down
to judge all the nations on every side.
13Swing the sickle,
for the harvest is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes,
for the winepress is full;
the wine vats overflow
because their wickedness is great.
John 4:24 The Passion Translation
24From now on, worshiping the Father will not be a matter of the right place but with a right heart. For God is a Spirit, and he longs to have sincere worshipers who adore him in the realm of the Spirit and in truth.”
