My Mighty Warrior,

I AM Yeshua, YAHWEH Sabaoth, Lord of Hosts.  I AM Ruler over all the powers in heaven and earth.  I command the Heavenly armies (Hosts),  I AM Holy and Sovereign.  Remember, when you chose Me as Lord you joined the army.  I AM now your Commander-in-Chief and I supply all your needs so that you can be victorious in Me.  You need to be properly clothed and armed and trained for battle before going into battle.  There is one war but many battles.   That war is between Me and My arch-enemy, Satan, who goes around like a roaring lion seeking to devour My Mighty Men and Women of valor and to do you great harm.  So I have prepared you with battle gear that will enable you to resist the enemy and live in victory with Me.  The condition of your battle gear, your clothing and your weapons depends entirely on the degree of intimacy you have with me.

For you who fear My Name, the Son of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall because victory is yours.  RIGHTEOUSNESS – righteousness is what I desire for and from you.  There is no way you can attain it on your own merits.  It is a free gift from Me.  As I hung on the cross and My blood dripped out, I became all your sin and you became My righteousness.  Think about it, beloved of My heart – Your sin (you can’t out-sin My righteousness) I washed away completely with My precious, forgiving blood drop by loving drop.  Your sin, your guilt, your shame now upon Me, who never knew sin.  Ponder that, My sweet precious bride – the purity and holiness that I AM – the aversion that I have for even the slightest sin, (Adam just took a bite of appealing fruit and see what happened?) and I took “ALL” of yours, beloved.

Focus for a moment about what I did for just you – I became guilty for all your sin – you have none – all of a sudden you’re righteous in My sight and I AM the abomination of the horror of sin in My Father’s sight (It reached a point where He couldn’t even look at Me!).  Who do you know who loves you that much?   And since I have your guilt and your sin, you also have no shame – that’s on Me too.  The indignity of death on a tree was a most shameful and horrendous death!  Please, My precious bride, leave your shame on Me!  So many of you hang on to it.  You accept My forgiveness of your sin but not My taking of your guilt and shame.  My forgiveness covers sin, guilt and shame!!!  They go together.  You can’t separate one from the other when it comes to forgiveness. Total forgiveness is yours!  Receive it right now!!!

I also freed you from punishment for all your rebelliousness against Me.  I took that, too.  What you should have experienced in eternity was upon Me.  Think about that for a moment …………. ETERNITY!  Sweet, precious love of My heart, whatever punishment you would have experienced in eternity for your sins, I experienced instead of you as I exchanged places with you on the cross.  Someone had to do it.  You couldn’t.  Only I could!   Who do you know who loves you that much?

Then, My very best friend, I took all your infirmity from the slightest scratch or bruise to the most excruciating painful experience you have ever had so that I might heal you throughout your earthly walk.  Consider the insults, slaps, punches, the tearing out of chunks of My beard from My own countrymen, the priests and the scribes, the scourging by the Roman soldiers, the piercings,  the excruciating pain of the slow suffocation process for six timeless hours……… then added to that all your griefs and sorrows were upon Me.  I was totally rejected – you were totally accepted.  I became everything evil in you and you became My Righteousness!!!

Imagine that!!!  See how desperately I desired that you be with Me for eternity?  See how desperately I AM in love with you?  How desperately will you love Me and accept the breastplate of My RIGHTEOUSNESS as you go forth in battle with Me?  As you put on righteousness you put on goodness, integrity, honesty, decency, honorableness, moral principles, respectability – the list goes on and on and on.  This is part of the protective gear I supply to all who call Me Commander-in-Chief.  To the degree that you want to have intimacy with Me, to that degree shall your breastplate shine in the darkness of the evil of this world.  To that degree shall the enemy be blinded by the light from your breastplate and flee from you in seven directions.  Your battle gear is very expensive, beloved of My heart.  I paid a hefty price for it.  But it was My good pleasure to do so.  I delighted to pay that price so that your light could break out like the dawn, your wounds be quickly healed, your “RIGHTEOUSNESS”  go before you – and the Glory of the Lord  be your rear guard.

Beloved of My Heart, My righteous warrior, I continue to be,

Yeshua, aka Jesus, Commander-in-Chief, YAHWEH Sabaoth
