Get Your Armor On!!!

 I've been hearing "Get your armor on!"  

For several years, I have had 'this is training.'  All the questions, all the doubts and the answer, "This is training."  A calm, steady, walking through it for lack of better words, 'feeling.'  

Lately, I 'feel' urgency but still that peace, not panic - peace, 'get ready.'  "Get your armor on."  We're going to battle.  The battle cry has not sounded but it is going to sound.  "Get Ready!"  There is anticipation, but not fear.  Next, I saw bright shiny armor.  Not battle worn armor like I expected.  God said, "Yes, that's right!  Brand new.  I'm giving you armor that is brand new.  One that as been tested and tried and does not ding or get dents from the enemy's attacks.  I want you to put on this armor, I have made it for you. "

A sudden realization "I do not have to fear."  God has given me an armor that the enemy cannot harm, hurt, damage, pierce...you name it, satan can't do it.  Hallelujah!  Thank you, Jesus!  I've been in training.  You have been in training.  God is saying, "You've been training with the footmen.  Now, I want you to run with the horsemen!  You are going in to battle but it is as it has always been, I am with you.  Put on my armor, you're going to battle!  But, you have already won the war!" 

♪♪♪ I'm excited beyond measure and I'm lifting my head.  Sin and judgement are not my portion, Jesus Christ took my place.  I've won the battle because of who you are Jesus and what you have done for me.  I've got my armor on and I'm running my race.  I'll be who you called me to be and I'll do what you tell me to do.  No longer running or hiding, I'm standing tall and strong for you.  I'm no longer with the footmen, but I'm running with the horsemen.  Come on all my brothers and sisters, you are running too!  Put on your armor, we're going into battle but the war has already been won!  ♪♪♪

Pay heed to what the Lord is saying and to the warnings.  We are in a battle - Choose ye this day whom you will serve....

Jer 12:1  Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? 

Jer 12:2  Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. 

Jer 12:3  But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. 

Jer 12:4  How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end. 

The Lord Answers Jeremiah

Jer 12:5  If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? 

Jer 12:6  For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee. 

Jer 12:7  I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. 

Jer 12:8  Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it. 

Jer 12:9  Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. 

Jer 12:10  Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. 

Jer 12:11  They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. 

Jer 12:12  The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace. 

Jer 12:13  They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 

Jer 12:14  Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. 

Jer 12:15  And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. 

Jer 12:16  And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people. 

Jer 12:17  But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.
