"'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways.' It is a declaration of the Lord. 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.'" I've started with Isaiah 55:8-9 due to the fact that Warrior Arising was not at all what I thought it was when the Lord first spoke it to me; nor was the outcome what I expected.
On Saturday, July 9, 2016 I had to do the hardest thing I think I've ever done. Jared's drinking had gotten much worse over the last couple of weeks. It was time for it to be addressed. When asked if he wanted to move forward or backwards he said he wanted to move forward. So I stated a few things that were necessary for that to happen. He said he wasn't ready, at this time, to take the necessary steps to move forward. I then explained that he would have to leave because this is where you come when you want to get better and move forward.

It was a little after 11pm on Sunday, July 31 when I got the call that Jared was dead. This is absolutely NOT what I was expecting to happen, especially since God told me it was time for the Warrior to Arise. How can this be - Warriors bring victory? You see, I had assumed that the Warrior was to help Jared with his addiction and to assist me in helping him. That he'd go back to rehab, get clean, and then help others like he wanted to. But... This is why I started with Isaiah 55:8-9.

Every born again believer has a Warrior within them. God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit - my Warriors! They are forever with each and every person who belongs to Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe in the days ahead we are all going to need to sharpen and refine our warfare tactics according to the Spirit. We are going to need to make it a priority to get closer to our Warrior in order to win the Battles that lie ahead. Our Warrior is able to reveal the plans and tactics of our enemy and is always willing to guide us to victory. However, if we don't choose to fight then we can't win. The Father already knows what your future holds and longs to prepare you, if you let Him. My Father knew what was going to happen on July 31, 2016 - my Warrior was ready and He had told me so.
"Arise, shine, for your light has come! The Glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness covers the earth, and deep darkness the peoples. But the Lord will arise upon you, and His glory will appear over you." Isaiah 60:1-2
