I heard the Lord say:

“My people are more preoccupied with minding the business of others, not tending to and minding their own business, and thus have forsaken minding the gap.

I have a double-edged sword that extends forth from My mouth. I have given My people the same double-edged sword and placed within their hands the Sword of the Spirit. Instead of wielding these weapons to strike and slay giants and cut off their head; they have abused these weapons by cutting down, cutting off, and piercing their brothers and sisters.

Where I have commissioned them as My sons to be Peacemakers to govern and establish Shalom and My dominion; they have settled for being peacekeepers who erect laws based out of fear and religion, which become restricting forces of darkness to bring shutdowns of My Spirit.

They have stepped out of the heartbeat of Heaven and become pacemakers–mechanical and unrelational. They have severed themselves from Me as the True Vine and have lost touch with the frequency of synchronicity and unity. They have grown numb and null to the resting heartrate of My Presence and settled for the arresting of those they are called to co-labor with to establish My Shalom in the earth.

They have become consumed with methods instead of mystical union with the movements of My Spirit…and now I am reinforcing the shaking in order to shake down, shake up, and wake up My slumbering and severed Bride, in order to return her to her first positions and her stations.

I am instating lockdown for the purposes of strength training. The time for bootcamp has begun and I will make ready My Bride for the war at her door. Shift change is necessary for the sifting of spiritual sediment and in order to awaken a holy sentiment.

The fence of division and double-mindedness has crumbled and she now must come to terms with Truth. I AM The Way, The Truth, and The Life! First Love zeal shall burn again as My Bride awakens from her slumber and is brought to her knees in a holy wonder.

I looked out upon her walls to see if any would arise to defend what is Mine, and I found none. I stepped in to save her like a Mighty Warrior wrapped in zealous passion for My Bride. Now I am reawakening her for her true purpose and prize. She will rise once again as the Warring Woman I always intended and designed her to be.”

KEYS TO MINDING THE GAP

• Wake up!!!
• Armor up!!!
• Remember, this battle is a spiritual one–not physical. We are better and stronger together!
• Repent of any part you have played in the divide and conquer strategy of the enemy through your thoughts, words, and actions. Humble yourself before God, resist the devil, and he will flee!
• Remain in your appointed position!!!

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:11-18‬ ‭TPT‬‬
“Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken word of God. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers. Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser! Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage. Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious. Put on truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart. Stand on your feet alert, then you’ll always be ready to share the blessings of peace. In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one!”

Psalm 68:8-12‬ ‭TPT‬‬
"The earth shook beneath Your feet; the heavens filled with clouds before the Presence of the God of Sinai. The sacred mountain shook at the sight of the face of Israel’s God. You, O God, sent the reviving rain upon Your weary inheritance, showers of blessing to refresh it. So there Your people settled. And in Your kindness You provided the poor with abundance. God Almighty declares the Word of the Gospel with power, and the WARRING WOMEN OF ZION deliver its message: 'The conquering legions have themselves been conquered. Look at them flee!' Now Zion’s women are left to gather the spoils."
