The MILITANT Church Ep. 6

Dear Friends,

This is the last episode of our series: The Militant Church.

Godly Militancy means to protect a position. My position is the Word of God. It is non-negotiable.

Western society has devolved into a feeling driven, opinion-based mob, fickle, always changing as the wind blows.

James 1:6 KJV
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

How can we add value to self and others if we are tossed around by backtracking opinions, be it our own or those of others?

How can we withstand the storms of life and prevail if we become slaves to the foes of God?

Opinions and emotion-based decision-making create confusion. Look to God: He is clarity, not confusion. He represents order and increase.

The enemy offers entropy, decay and death. What do you desire?

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV 1900)
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

The Word of God is unchangeable. His promises give me peace, a peace that is not understood by the world. It's an awesome place to be.

This position allows me to be bold, daring, always remaining steadfast in God.

Thus, I take a justifiable stance. And I am operating from a position of victory and not of defeat. Glory be to God, the Lord of lords, the Host of hosts.

In Jesus' name. Amen!

Episode 5

Last week, we explored

• How to resist the enemy militantly
• How to love militantly
• the seven losing attitudes.
  I stay away from those...

Today

...we conclude our series by taking a closer look at Moses. He was a militant man.

As Christians, we need to understand that we are more than Conquerors, because we are already operating from a position of victory that was delivered to us by Jesus as He defeated the enemy, sickness and death.

That is why we need to forcefully Advance and Fight for the Kingdom of God.

Matthew 11:12 (KJV 1900)
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Christians are not supposed to be domesticated yay-sayers.
We are not to bow to political correctness, to the lies of the enemies of God, or to slander, theft and oppression.

We are to fight the enemy with the power of Christ that is in us. Nothing is impossible for God, and nothing is impossible for God in us.

Most importantly: We do it for the glory of God, to help those in need, to add value to self and others, to become warriors of Christ, and thus victors in His kingdom.

What an awesome place to be! Dont you agree?

Our Defenses

The Armor of God:

Ephesians 6:10–18 (KJV 1900)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
