Judges 6:11-12 AMP

11 Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, and his son Gideon was beating wheat in the wine press [instead of the threshing floor] to [hide it and] save it from the Midianites. 12 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O brave man.”

You are My Mighty Warrior. 

You are My Mighty Warrior. 

Did you hear Me? 

I said YOU ARE My Mighty Warrior. 

Why are you so afraid? Why are you in hiding? I know you’ve been running from darkness and despair. I know you've been hiding out in the hollowed out caves and caverns coping as best you can. I know you hear the alarm. Every time you think you’re going to be accepted, there’s another siren shrieking YOU ARE IN DANGER! ALERT! DANGER UP AHEAD! ALERT! Another attack is underway. 

The attacks have become so frequent it feels like it’s your norm. 

Isn’t that why you’re here? In the winepress, threshing wheat? You’re in a hiding place trying to hold onto what you have. You’ve been pillaged and plundered, and you’ve prayed for a MIRACLE and I AM HERE. 

I AM HERE and I AM your Mighty God declaring over you:

You are mighty. 

You are courageous. 

You are boldly running into battle. 

You are battle-ready. 

Yes, YOU ARE battle-ready. 

You are strong, and you are coming out of this. 

You will know Me as El Shaddai. 

You will know Me as God Almighty. I AM Mighty and I AM Strong in battle and I AM moving heaven and earth on your behalf. You will come out of this knowing it is I that has delivered you. You will come out of this knowing it is I that has saved you. I have made a way for you. You will face your fear with fearlessness because I AM El Shaddai and I Am on YOUR SIDE. 

I AM sending My Angel.

I AM sending My Messenger. 

I Am sending My Comforter to bring you revelation knowledge and wisdom to fight this out and WIN. You will have a battle plan. You will have a strategy. You will have heavenly reinforcements and you will WIN. 

I’ve heard you say it’s all gone. Everything. They’re all gone. Everyone around me is falling like dominoes. They are all walking away. Running away. They see the battle on the horizon, and they know it’s impossible. 

Watch Me be God.

Watch Me be God. 

I am your EL SHADDAI, and nothing is impossible for Me. I am God Almighty, and I have ordained this mass exodus. I will turn this around. My Revival Fire is coming!

You are NOT fighting a losing battle. 

You are NOT fighting a losing battle, because I AM on YOUR SIDE. I’ve already WON THIS FIGHT for you. You’ve already won because I AM the Almighty God and I will defend you. 

I will protect you. 

I will vindicate you. 

I will pour out My Recompense on you until you overflow. 

YOU ARE going to win this battle. I know what it looks like. I know it looks like everything is stacked against you. I allowed everything to be stripped away so you could see Me. So you could see My Glory. So you could feel My Anointing being poured out over you. 

I am giving you everything you need for VICTORY. You have My Strategies and My Strength. You are My Mighty Warrior and you will see victory. When you are weak, I AM Strong. I AM a Consuming Fire and My Fire will rest on you. You will carry My Fire. My Revival Fire is being poured out on you. 

I heard you ask for a sign. You want to know you’re moving in the right direction. My direction. 

There are signs all around pointing you to Me. 

I received your offering, your praise, and your worship. You honored Me tearing down every altar belonging to Baal, and you have put Me first. You have obediently sacrificed everything for Me. Now, look for Me. Listen for Me. My Peace will rest on you as a sign because I AM your JEHOVAH SHALOM. 

I AM your JEHOVAH SHALOM. 

I AM JEHOVAH SHALOM, The Lord is Peace. I AM your Peace. You will walk in My Peace even in the midst of the battle. My Spirit will fall on you and you will know specifically what to do and when to move. You will see My Fleece and you will know to follow Me. I have given you confirmation after confirmation all along the journey, and I will continue to light the path.  

I have chosen you to valiantly lead and guide My people into Victory. I have chosen you to break off the war-torn personality of My People and to speak peace over them. Worship Me first. Teach them to worship Me first. When you worship Me first, you carry Me into battle with you and I will war for you. You will win because of your worship. Your worship will cause your enemies to turn on one another. 

Your worship is your weapon of warfare. 

Don’t ever underestimate the value of your praise. Don’t ever underestimate the value of your worship. Your worship is your mightiest weapon of warfare for pulling down strongholds. Strongholds will break. Enemies will flee. 

You’ve already WON! 

You’ve already WON! 

You’ve already WON! 

Some things to remember for the battle:

  • Walk by faith and not by sight. Put your faith to action. Chase after the promise God has made you and refuse to give up. 

  • Your worship will take you straight to victory. Worship first, not when all else fails. Worship Him first. 

  • Your worship pulls down strongholds. Pray for deliverance from enemy strongholds. You have the power to uproot them. Don’t run away in fear. El Shaddai is fighting for you. 

  • Dwell on God’s promise. Don’t worry about the way things look in the natural. Meditate on the fulfilled promise. Tear down every idea that comes against that fulfilled promise. Refuse to accept anything but the manifested miracle. 

  • Take authority over your mind. You have the Mind of Christ and you will walk in His Power and Authority. 

  • Obedience is crucial. Follow after God. Chase after Him instantly. If you delay…. If you think about it for a while... You’re being disobedient. 

2 Cor 10:4-6 NKJV

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

You’ve got this because you’ve already won!

Blessings!
