The Church today is in a similar condition. Although the Word clearly states that the weapons of the Church are not carnal, but spiritual, the Church is disarmed and unskilled in the art of combat. The skilled artisans (blacksmiths) of the TRUE WORD of God have been kept in the hiding place of the Lord.

The people have grown ignorant of the Word because of the lack of True teaching. Itching ears have driven the children to search for words and acts of emotion rather than the true meat of the Word. They go from one religious fad and trend to the next not caring to admit their need for Me. They run from submission. They know nothing of true commitment. They desire the easy path so as not to place demands on their flesh. They set conditions on their relationship with me in order to keep from experiencing discomfort of the flesh. They demand that I feed their flesh and wink at their sin because I am a God of Love.

But they fail to understand My love—the Zoe Love of God. So they are now naked and call themselves by a name which is alive although in truth they are dead or nearly dead. They stand weaponless because they do not know Me as Lord or love Me by My definition of love. For the one who truly loves Me obeys me, obeys My Word. They stand crying out in their nakedness and unarmed condition and want to know why I have left them desolate. When in truth they have left Me or never really knew Me.

I come now to restore the blacksmiths of the Word of Life. I come now to call these craftsmen out from their hiding places. These are My harvesters who I have trained in the weapons of My warfare. They are the men, women, and children who have searched out My Word because I have caused them to hunger and thirst for righteousness. They are the ones who are not satisfied with man-made traditional teachings. They desire the true meat of My Word. I have filled them and will continue to fill them. I will send them out to feed the hungry, naked and unarmed children. I will be with them every step of the way. I come with mantles, with anointings, and many gifts as I send each one out to their appointed work. I will equip them with all they need to achieve the work set before them. No need will go unmet for they have gone through the wilderness with me and come forth ready to carry the banner of My Name, My Victory wherever I send them.

So learn a lesson and be aware that My work progresses even in this day. I will bring victory to My people so do not look at the enemy, but look to Me. I AM the Almighty One. I AM your Father. I AM your Source and Supply. I have all things under control. Receive these words and be glad to be My child. Shalom.
