Encouragement for the body and the watchmen

Hello all, This last week has been very interesting for me. I have felt that the body has really been attacked lately. That Satan has ramped up his fight against us. I have been especially drawn to pray for the Watchmen who put their lives on the line and give words to each of us everyday. Some words are not pretty and some words are very hard to swallow, but these men and women are getting attacked for carrying out a job given to them by the Lord! While I was in prayer for them I received a vision. The next day I received a continuation from that first vision. I believe the Lord has lead me to share it with you all as encouragement! While I was in prayer this morning (July 12) I was praying for all the watchmen I know and even the ones I don’t know. There has been so many reports of attacks within the body especially with the Remnant. I have devoted time to single out the ones I know and really lift them up. As I was praying I saw myself standing there with my armor on (Ephesians 6) the arrows from the enemy began to fly. I was actively using my shield to block the arrows. At first it was just a few here and there, then it started to literally rain down arrows from the enemy. As I was being pelted on my shield I began to hunker down with my shield protecting my entire body. The arrows never stopped, in fact they came with such fierceness and such hatred. I saw the enemy just laughing and snarling at what was happening. Then I noticed I wasn’t alone, there were tons of us being pelted by the enemy’s arrows and we were all doing the same thing. As we hunkered down we began do dig our shields into the dirt. They stayed and protected us. But the beauty of this all was that we were not alone! The entire time Jesus was standing behind us! And when we turned around after digging our shields into the dirt we found so much joy! We were never really afraid of the arrows, but it was a lot of work. When we recognized Jesus all the “work” that we were doing just fell away. Our shields never gave into the attacks as we looked at our Savior with joy! There was such joy in Him and in us! It was beyond my words to describe it. Jesus spoke and said, “ I AM your guard. As these attacks begin when you raise your shield I will protect you, do not keep your focus on the enemy’s arrows but on Me. As you look upon Me you will be filled with so much Joy that the enemy will seethe with frustration.” As He was saying this I saw the enemy red hot with anger. The arrows flew even harder but they had literally now power! Watchmen these are words of encouragement for you! Please do not leave your post! There are many of us that are listening and keeping you in prayer. As the attacks on you grow stronger and stronger do as the Lord has said, turn and put your focus on Him! He will be your shield and protector! Remnant do likewise. Pray and pray some more. Read the Word and don’t give into the enemy. Heed the words from the watchmen and lift them up in prayer! As the end draws near the only way we will make it through anything( and by making it through it’s not to save your life just to save it, but to save your life so you and I can preach the TRUE gospel of Jesus Christ to the spiritually dead and almost physically dead) The only way to make it through anything is to dig deeper into Christ! As the attacks grow stronger and stronger so does the Holy Spirit in you! Blessing all my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ! Love, Sarah As I was praying this morning (July 13) I saw a continuation of the previous vision. As we turned to the Lord, yes there was so much joy! But then the Lord began instruction each one of us and the mood became more serious. We each straightened up as if we were soldiers at attention and the Lord began speaking to each of us individually. He was telling us that He is preparing us for the battle coming. He was very serious in this and He said to be wise and pay attention to Him alone and listen. For the coming days there will be battles and He needs us to be ready for the battles coming.
