Come My Weary Soldiers, Return to the Battle
“Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed,” Hebrews 12:12-13.
“Many in this life and in their walk with Me, get tired of the world in which they are living. Some of you may feel like throwing the towel at times. Some of you are desperate for a way out of your situation. You stand at the edge of your battle, and you look out at the barren landscape.
But you have come this far, why would you give up now? The way ahead may be arduous, but pick up your weary feet.
The battle cry is heard in the distance. For you have left your post and you must return. Come my weary soldiers, and return to the battle. The war continues. You need to do your part and to continue in your walk with Me.
The well has gone dry; you need to drink from my water again. For it will sustain you for the battle ahead. It will renew you and give you new life in Me.
The world cannot renew you like I can. For I give strength to the weary. I sustain the old so that they can fly like the eagles.
The road ahead is always going to be narrow. It will wind its way through all types of terrain. But look out in the distance and you will see Me welcoming you with open arms.
But for now, return to the battle. Lift up your swords and your shields. And now, return to your posts.”
Selah,

Stephen Hanson of In His Truth Ministries came to the LORD is a special way in 1975 and has been prophesying regularly since. In these end-time birthing pangs we are to be reminded that judgment must first begin with the household of God. Will we be prepared and ready?
Thank you for this much-needed word. It is exactly what I feel, and I think what others feel as well. I am so tired, and over the last couple of years especially have felt like giving up, and have felt like I am losing the battle. I really appreciate this word that encourages us to pick up our arms and get back in the battle again. Blessings to you and to all!
