Hearts: My heart and your heart — they must be ONE.

Your heart cannot be infatuated [1] with anything that takes you in one direction, while MY heart is passionate and fixed on what is in the opposite direction. You must be completely aligned with Me … your body,soul [2], and spirit.

My Holy Army of Light: There is no room in this New Era for you to choose to step out of My will, thus moving out of alignment with My heart and My direction. There is no room in this New Era for you to even take a bite (like Adam and Eve did) of something that is not in line with My instructions, which carry My heart, My desires, My plans and purposes.

You must be 100% “sold out” for Me [3]. You must be “in it to win it.”[4] And WIN you will, as you engage in the great heavenly exploits which are on the horizon. There are seemingly insurmountable mountains and hurdles to get over, but WIN you will. You will see the greatest victories the world has ever seen, as you take each step … one step, then the next, and the next … aligned with My heart, My will, and My instructions. The victories will come as you step into My empowerment [5] and equipping [6], taking you far beyond any capability you could ever have imagined. Remember, it is not about you or your own abilities. It is about Me and My empowerment of My holy ones who have chosen to remain true to Me.

Even when the deceiver cleverly twists My truth, resulting in many being deceived and falling away, My faithful ones will not take the bait. They will not be deceived! Remember that the deceiver twisted truth — The Word — when he tempted Me in the wilderness [7]. But he was not able to deceive Me, because I knew, and was completely aligned with, The Word and with My Father.

A new level of clever, crafty, demonic deception is coming, with a mission to break up families, marriages, churches, communities. This demonic unleashing over the nation will be at a level of deceit greater than anything you have seen in your days.  The enemy’s strategy is to fracture these societal bedrocks; and ultimately, to topple these pillars of society that undergird … your city … your state … your nation.

Do not be deceived! If something doesn’t line up with My Word and My character, reject it. Be alert and on guard for the twistings, as men increasingly “call evil good, and good evil” (Isaiah 5:20). If there is confusion, bring that confusion to Me and I will make it clear to you. I will lead you in how to bring order into the chaos of the twistings.

Be washed in The Word, covered in My Blood, and walking in holiness. From that place, you will shore up your gates and close every access door to the enemy’s twistings. A leviathan spirit [8] will be used to get in between husband and wife, parent and child, sister and brother, friend and friend, teacher and student, pastor and congregant. In every sphere of societal influence, it will be used to get in between leaders and those they lead.

There is a twisting and confusion coming, attempting to get between the one who is speaking and the one who is listening; to the point that the words spoken are not the words heard. This is not the time to become offended! Humble yourselves in love, in order to clear up any and all confusion from twisted communications; so that the enemy gains no ground within your relationships. Holy, purified, healthy relationships, anchored in sacrificial love, are imperative in these times. This will require a greater degree of humility, in order to press through and then demolish the twistings of communications that the enemy is perpetrating. Pride will bring disaster in these times; even “small” amounts of pride. There is no room for the slightest tittle [9] of pride in My holy army, as I prepare you for the war that is to come.

Holiness and humility will produce the most powerful force the enemy has ever encountered. Mighty, unimaginable victories are on the horizon; victories won through alignment with Me, and My angel army. From this position and posture, My Holy Army of Light will come together, ushering heaven to earth, to reclaim and redeem all that the enemy has stolen.

Verses on Deception:

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

Deuteronomy 11:16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them….

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

Ephesians 4:14 …we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting….

[1] Infatuation- a feeling of foolish or obsessively strong love for, admiration for, or interest in someone or something: strong and unreasoning attachment

What are we infatuated with that is contrary to God’s passions?

[2] Soul – mind, will, and emotions

[3] “Sold Out for Jesus” –

• to be completely surrendered to Him: our money, time, dreams, relationships, possessions
• Everything about us belongs to Him and is readily available for His purposes.

[4] “In it to win it.” – to participate with the sole purpose or intention of being Victorious

[5] Empowerment – to give official authority or legal power to do something

He has given us His authority, His legal power, to do

everything He calls us to do in the coming battles.

[6] Equip – to prepare and to supply whatever is needed for a particular purpose

[7] Matthew 4:1-11

[8] Leviathan – “A leviathan spirit is the king of pride (Job 41:34). It twists communication, distorts perception, stirs accusation, and tries to break up relationships, as in Job. It is a master of deception, which can disrupt relationships and cause confusion and pride. To resist it, humility before God and recognizing that the battle isn’t against flesh and blood are key. We are the most susceptible to its attacks when we are not walking in humility in our relationships.”
