Depending On Jesus

45. This year will prove your worth as a soldier, because you will learn more about how to endure. This year will help to enlarge and strengthen your faith, and thereby usher you into the era of miracles. But I have to get each of you to the point of total belief and dependence on the new weapons as your only salvation, and your only staff to lean upon in order to fulfill My will and your destiny as My army of the coming days. This year is your melding time-melding in heart and spirit with the new weapons-so they become part of you and not just something worn at your side to be used on occasion or when you feel like it.
46. The best followers and the best disciples are those who yield the most.-And that applies not only to disciples, but to soldiers and warriors as well. Being weak, reaching the end of yourself, When you realize that you can’t bring yourself to believe, you feel weak and lost. and having more than you can possibly do in the natural makes you yielded. It humbles you, and it causes you to lean on Me and My strength. This year of strengthening will bring you down the path of weakness, because only there will you discover true strength and become a true warrior of the spirit. It’s only through weakness that you humbly take up My strength This is the key and the weaponry of the spirit instead of your own.
47. This year each of you must come to My altar and lay those last vestiges of your own strength, pride, abilities and works to rest. Put down the carnal mind and all it wants to cling to. Just throw yourself on Jesus and believe. It will be a death of sorts-a death to your own strength and a birth of My strength within you. Let it die.
48. I promise you that from this death and this rebirth will spring forth a new strength within the heart of each child of David! And in discovering this strength, you will each inherit newfound power-My true power and anointing which will see you through the coming end of days. This year I will work together with you to erase your natural instincts to lean to your own strength and understanding and ways of the past, as you cleave to Me and My new weapons as you never have before.
49. There will no longer be room for leaning on your own strength, experience, wisdom‚ knowledge, or natural abilities. This is what you have been trying to do, lean on your own mind. This is the year of learning to lean and depend wholly on Me and the new weapons to see you through. You will discover that nothing else but Me and My full power will give you the anointing and strength you need.
50. So, My loves, if you want to keep moving forward, if you want to keep advancing as My Endtime warriors, you must pass through this year. It will burn off the dross Let it go. Let it burn. That means when the carnal mind speaks, you refuse to listen to it. and all that stands in the way of each of you becoming warriors of the spirit. You will feel in want in the natural; you will feel weak; you will feel dependent; you will feel humbled. But what will be left will be a warrior fashioned by My hand and not his own-a warrior worthy and ready and prepared to enter the days of battle before us.
51. Those of you who choose Me and who choose to embrace the new weapons will be helped. You will be strengthened inwardly, and you will meet the demands before you.-Not by natural means, but by supernatural means. Those who choose to operate the same way they have in the past will struggle and fall short. Each of you will have your commitment and dedication tested. To make it through this year you will have to leave behind the old ways, attitudes, and mindsets that are not in line with My Word and My new weaponry of the spirit. The key is to obey and actually do this –not just read it as a nice sounding quote at Word time, but put it into practice. In some cases it might not be as simple as leaving these attitudes behind. It might be more like fighting tenaciously to keep them out of your mind. Let the light in. Call on the keys and keep calling until the attack passes. But don’t let those doubts sit in your mind eating holes in your faith in Me.
52. Time is short, My loves, much shorter than you realize, and even shorter than some of you have purposed to believe. Do you actually believe this? For this reason alone I must prepare you, I must test you‚ I must have you run with weights to strengthen you for what is ahead. I have great need of each of you. These are days of challenge, with more to come as the year passes. These are times of great change and movement in the spirit, but I tell you now openly as My friends and lovers‚ and as My future warriors‚ that these present battles are small when compared to what is to come upon the world.
53. Soon there will be great, great change all around you. The world and the peoples of the Earth will moan and heave under these changes. Darkness will prevail. You, My chosen ones, will be the lights within this darkness. But you can only be those lights by embracing Me and My new weapons in full. Everything will depend on your sensitivity in the spirit, because you will be responsible for many.
54. I allow this year and all of its many demands-even its “impossibilities”-to wash away any trace of the old. I use it to usher into the new year a transformed Family, a Family cleansed of the old and ready to face the future.
55. You are all being put to the test. How much do you really believe in My power to work through you, even when your own natural strength fails? How much do you really believe in the new weapons? How much do you really believe that they are your only hope, and your only salvation and means by which to defeat the Enemy? How much do you really believe My Words poured forth through David and Maria and Peter?
56. Only those who believe and truly live those Words will be left standing at the end of this year. It’s your pride that stands up and stands in the way of simple childlike faith. It gets offended at anything that seems too hard to understand or too hard to believe. This year you will each face your own inability to meet the demands before you. You will each face your own natural weakness. You will each feel more in need of Me than you ever have before. You will each feel more in need of My Word than you ever have before. You will each feel more in need of hearing My voice and specific personal instruction than you ever have before. You will each feel in desperate need of My strength to keep you.
57. So, My loves, trust Me that you each have too much to lose if I don’t place these weights and demands and seemingly impossible challenges and tasks before you. So much has been invested in you, and My need for each of you is great. I must prove who is worthy to be called part of My elite army, and who is worthy to be given the power and anointing promised to those who walk with Me into the end of days. Jesus: I want to make this time worth it. This humbling needs to go down deep. You need to open up and let all the doubts go. You need to believe fiercely in My return. You have probably noticed that faith doesn’t always just stay there. It has to be held on to. And pride and carnal reasoning kick it right out the door.
58. I continue this strengthening-to purge, purify, and cleanse all of you. I can’t afford to let you lose the momentum you have gained through the renewal; I can’t afford to turn down the heat. Some of you will feel as if you are being tried in the fire seven times seven, and still I put you back into the furnace. At times it will seem as though the end of that heat will never be in sight. But it will, My loves. It will.
59. I need you who are willing to allow Me to strap on the weights and demands, to not spare in delivering to you what you need this year to be strengthened. I need you who trust implicitly in My foresight and love in giving you what you need in order to be a soldier in My Endtime army. I need you who choose to lean on Me, for you know and trust that in that leaning you will find your strength.
60. I need you who are willing to crawl across the finish line of this year on your hands and knees if necessary, because of your belief and faith in Me and in the calling and destiny I have promised you as part of David’s band. Some of you will be moving ahead by naked faith alone, but in this nakedness you will win. In this nakedness and dependence you will possess My full power! (End of message.)

Question and prophecy

What is holding me back? What is it that I am not believing and following?

Jesus speaking: It’s a general attitude that you need to have, one of taking things more by faith. There are some things that you don’t understand or that don’t really make sense to you. So you need to just trust that they are actually right and true and that you will understand in time. You have already been told that understanding comes to those who believe. So you need to just put your mind in its place and take an attitude of faith.  Instead you have this attitude of “wait and see.” You can’t really bring yourself to totally believe that these things are true. But allowing that doubt to sit in your mind is allowing it to eat away at you. It’s going to hinder you in every aspect of your spiritual life. You aren’t really saying “Help thou my unbelief” because if you were, I would be helping.

So open up now to Me. You already know I am a faithful husband. So why the reservation? Why not trust everything? Why hold onto your own ways? Has going your own way ever worked out for the best? Has your carnal mind ever brought you into a good place?

The truth is that you are a bit afraid of Me. You don’t know what I will do. You know there is a wild, unpredictable side to Me. But you also know that I do all things well. So why the double mindedness? It will make you unstable in all your ways. Can’t you trust My wild wind and not fear where it will take you? Get up and ride the wave and don’t worry about where you will land. Don’t close your eyes because you have reservations or aren’t too sure. Just open up and take it all in. If you go, go all the way.

It’s a test, really. So many people are so carnal minded. They refuse to see with the eyes of the spirit. Don’t you be like that. You believe some things and others you aren’t too sure of. You believe in prayer and that the angels and spirit helpers are going out to win souls. You used to have trouble with the whole concept of God’s children breaking the covenant. But that has been confirmed in your mind and heart a few times now. So what’s the thing that is catching in your craw? It’s believing in My return that is pretty hard. And that is a big one. So that’s what you need to take by faith. That is the Word that you need to follow with all of your heart. Like someone said, I want everything. So if you are going to be behind the Son, then you need to forsake these doubts about whether I am actually going to come back in 2026. Just open up and trust Me. Yes, you have fears and doubts. Fight them. Don’t just live with them. Don’t let those fears hold you down. You believed it before. I came in and turned on the light for you, and then the faith was there and you could in full faith look up and look forward to My return. But you let the enemy come in and gradually steal away that faith. And then when you looked there again, it was gone. Arg. Well, if you don’t tenaciously guard your mind, what do you think is going to happen?
