Walking on the beach road with Luke at 6am, still thinking about fighting and training, when the Lord draws me inward, into Him, and says:

            Look at me! Pick up your eyes and your perspective! Look at me!

            My immensity is the presence you feel. That is the power of my Love!

I am chagrined and chastened, for I realize that I have not deliberately and carefully put my armor on before going out. I feel something – angels? – pressing a covering, not a helmet, a covering onto my head.

            I know you are considering my prophets and my apostles, my evangelists, and considering how to gather and where and when. Rightly as a commander you would ask, ‘How many have we got with us?’

            Listen to me: I say that the gathered voices shall become louder than the noise around you now.

            Gather and make a joyful noise!

---

Later in the day I hear these words, reminders, encouragements:

            You have heard the rumblings and felt the motion, for My warships are underway, and you are underway with them. Now! Set a watch!

            Remind my children how many have stood a watch so they will understand. For every parent who has stood the night through for a child, for everyone who has prayed for loved ones sick or dying, for lonely ones standing until reunited, every prayer, every intercession is a watch stood for My Kingdom, and Well Done. Do Not Relent!

            Remember: You fight like you train.

            Keep asking: What are the healthy vital signs of your nation?

            Now, now, child, now: You are on a wartime footing.
