The works of the enemy are stilled. The powers of darkness cannot stop the work of My angels ministering to those whom I have chosen to do My will. There is no power in hell strong enough to stop the work I have ordanined for My servants to carry out amid these days of evil, deception, and confusion. My army is arrayed among My people tearing down strongholds of delusion, fear, and torment to equip them to rebuild My church. I shall deliver them safely through all the attempts of the evil one to tear down what they build because the church which makes Me her cornerstone cannot fail. A new day has dawned, a new day both of the prophetic and a new day of demonic manifestations, but be not afraid, have I not already conquered the demonic powers? All you need do is obey My Word, eat it like fresh manna daily to sustain you as you journey through the desert of this evil world around you. So have no fear, go boldly forth with Me as your Leader, the Captain of the great new army I am building and equiping with spiritual armour all around the earth. Just stay close to Me and I will take you through the wilderness of sin and temptation and keep you from falling into the deceptive traps set by the enemy. My power will be your power, and My glory your glory. Remember My promise that My angels will guard you in all your ways as you tread this dangerous pathway which leads to the Father. But in my Father's house there is peace, there is security, and there is rest for your soul. Come up higher My child, ever higher and closer to the only place of safety there is to be found.

"O safe to the Rock that is higher than I,
My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly;
So sinful, so weary, Thine, Thine I would be,
Thou blessed Rock of Ages I'm hiding in Thee."
