As Linda and I were praying for you this week I saw a picture of a woman, fully dressed in armor, kneeling before her Abba Father and waiting for His instructions. Her sword was planted in the ground in front of her and she held her shield at the ready. What struck me the most was that she was in full armor, ready to go, not waiting for His instructions, and then rushing off to get into her battle clothes.
π½π¦πππͺ ππ£ππ€π€ππ!
βππππͺ πππ π¨πππ₯πππ!
Her posture was one of waiting as she knelt before her King, she knew who she was and she knew who He was! Once we know who He is then we will know who we are. I sensed His power and I sensed her reverence.
Then I heard the words:
ππππ‘ ππ πππ!
ππππ‘ π‘π£ππ€π€πππ!
Whatever it is that you are doing in obedience to the Father, keep going, keep doing it, keep pressing on. ππ¬π«’π± π©π¬π°π’ π₯π’ππ―π±. “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” (Gal 6:9)
And so today, if this is you, I pray that the LORD would strengthen you, that He would whisper how pleased He is with you in your ear, and encourage you. I too pray for those who haven’t yet received their orders, that you would be able to wait on Him, that you would hear His voice and that you would find yourself in His Word, clothing yourself fully in armor until those instructions come.Β Ready. Waiting.
