May you recognize that the strongholds of man are not sufficient to withstand the Lord, for He will smite the impregnable fortress and cast out those who trust in their own works, dispossessing those who heap up riches gained from oppression and hoard goods for their own benefit, shutting their eyes, stopping their ears, and closing their hands against the needs of their neighbors, denying the abundance of God and rejecting His giving nature.

Zechariah 9
May you be ready for battle and prepared for warfare when the Lord leads you forth against the spiritual powers and strongholds established over the cities of men, for the Lord will be seen over you like a windstorm, and you will speak His message to the people like a trumpet sounding, and show His power before them, as lightning flashing forth, and He will be your defense and protection when you walk forth as more than conquerors, treading on the fallen enemies, whom you overcome by the word of your testimony and the blood of the Lamb, loving not your life unto the death by yielding your will unto the Father's will, for He will save you on that day as the flock of His people, and He will lift you high over His land as precious jewels of a crown shining brilliantly in the light of His great goodness and beauty. Zechariah 9
You are one of My chosen, My select; you are one whose heart has responded to My wooing and whose desire has been toward Me, hungry for My Word and thirsty for My Spirit. You are one whom I value and treasure, one for whom I have given My all. You are called and special, but you are not exclusive.

Go, in the anointing of the Spirit, and be My hand made flesh. Stand up, as prompted by My Spirit, and be My voice proclaiming My praise in place of despair. Know that I am sending you, realize I am going with you, and recognize that I am already there to meet you, preparing the way and laying the groundwork.
