His righteousness and all these  things will be added to you".... My Heart (Father's Heart) is that your joy be fulfilled as you stand with one hand holding a construction tool and the other hand holding a weapon.

   Many have been discouraged, discomforted, frustrated, ready even to give up, despairing, sometimes even of life, but I, the Lord of Hosts have made a way for the battle to be fought that the victory that I have won will also be yours experientially.... BUT the primary focus is to be on others first....Not yourself.  This is the hour of  GIVING....All are being called to give some, and some will be called to give ALL!***  His nature and joy is in giving, and as you give of your life on the wall your life and your family's life will flourish as never before.

This is not a spectator event....this is War!  Now is not the time to sit, but the time to Stand & Fight....Stand and see His salvation....cooperate with Him....work with Him....follow the Captain of your salvation....praise andworship Him....and His glory will be like a river that never runs dry and the force of which is cleansing and refreshing.

   As you stand in the battle your eyes will be opened to see the heavenly host that has been sent for YOU.  They will strengthen you, comfort you as you stand!  I long to visit you and take you deeper into my glorious river. Yes!  Even as you stand in the midst of the battle there will be a river flowing from your very belly....the River of Life of which there is no end!  The river that I have sent for the healing of the nations and the restoration of all things!“

        Splashing in His Glory,

*Ezekiel 22:30  "So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it:  but I found no one"

**Nehemiah 4:14  "When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people:  Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses."
