SteemChurch:Characteristics Of The Warriors Of God Qualified For The Battle.

The warriors of God of the old testament
In the old testament, God presents himself as a militia God. Therefore children are warriors of God. One of the names of God is: "Warman". We can observe and understand how Jehovah intervened to liberate his people so many times in battles. It is evident that he continues to act in this sense.
Each time God ordered a war, he had a chosen one, a warrior of God, over whom the winning anointing of the Most High was discharged. The significant example is King David.
From a very young age, the Lord revealed himself to his life with a powerful anointing to fight. Not everyone had this anointing. When he fought against Goliath, the entire remnant of Israel's army was practically defeated and subjugated to what the giant and the Philistines wanted.

In this particular case, God used only one man to change the destiny of Israel. Perhaps anyone else who had fought would have died, but God is driven through chosen people.
That same anointing began upon the army of the valiant warriors of God. These were depressed and indebted men, hiding in a cave called Adulám. But when they saw the anointing of who became their leader, they longed for it, they sheltered it and they were transformed into great warriors of God.
Who are the true warriors of God
In these times of apostolic and prophetic movement, God has his generals of war already predestined, to liberate cities, towns and countries.
They are genuine coverages, lives proven in immense fires, proportionate to transmit the anointing and lead large armies in victory.
Unfortunately, there are others who, perhaps, driven by a genuine desire to see their cities conquered, launch themselves into war without him called from heaven and without the anointing.
This, unfortunately, has brought grave accidents and misfortunes in those who tried and those who followed them. And what's worse, these mistakes are now the weapon the devil is using to intimidate God's warriors ...

The warriors of God require effective preparation for spiritual warfare
Spiritual warfare is not a matter that can be taken lightly; it is a battle against a real enemy, horrifically deceiving and cunning. It requires preparation and has rules. Very accurate
To do things simply by rapture, without a full understanding, without a call from above and without the anointing of the Lord, which is really required, without a doubt, has grave consequences, very serious
An experience that can give us light in this sense, as an analogy, is the call and war fought by Gideon. The first thing that we observe in this story is the people of Israel destroyed by Midian, their plundered crops and great restlessness about the people. They cry out to God.
Source
When a man is called to be a warrior of God, the Lord manifests himself to this man: for example Gideon was directly called by God, and gave him the authority to overcome. But it was the Lord, then we can notice that it is God who decides who will be his army.
In the bible it is supported as follows:
"Then the angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak that is in Ophrah, which was of Joash the Abiezrite. Gideon, his son, was shaking the wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites, when the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, "The LORD is with you, you valiant and courageous man." -Justices 6.11, 12
Here we see how God selects his army God himself has already begun to speak in the heart of the true warrior.
The complication arises when the experiences of others are taken as if they were an exercise manual, and strategies are formulated that were delivered to a specific place, with environments and demons that corresponded to that particular war.
Read books and teach about war, does not indicate that someone is ready to face a fight, sometimes of great caliber.
Who can not participate in a war?
"Then the officers will return to speak to the people and they will say:" Who is fearful and cowardly man? Let him go and return to his home, so that he does not beat out the hearts of his brothers as it happens with his heart. " -Deuteronomy 20.8,
It is delicate and a mistake to involve in a war immature people, and fearful that they do not have a clear vision of the greatness of God in front of the devil, people whose souls need to be healed, and in many cases, liberated.
These people, due to their unresolved fears, become easy targets of the enemy. At the moment I am only focusing on the divine election, I mention other important factors later to classify who should not appear in the war.
Characteristics of the warriors of God qualified for battle.
1.-The prophetic and apostolic authority
Spiritual warfare concerns the strictly prophetic and apostolic spheres. Each ministry has a level of authority and anointing that gives it the ability and divine ability to move in what God called it.
All are called and anointed, but not all have the same function and mission. Confusing the limits of a ministry's prowess brings consequences, which irreparably harm the body of Christ at all.
Example; When a prophet is a pastor of the church, but it turns out that he does not have a pastoral ministry, the church will receive a word, usually sharp, deep and, sometimes, very confrontational. This will cause the faithful to take little care of their particular needs and problems.
When an evangelist wants to flow as a pastor, there will usually be a lot of motivation to evangelize, manifestations of power, but in many cases, little depth in the Word. The same happens when pastors, teachers and evangelists, want to penetrate the areas of prophetic or apostolic authority.
Usually, there will be complication, the address will not be clear and this will obviously bring problems. In the matter of incurring in the spiritual world, to discern the governments of darkness and the strategies to overthrow them, only the prophets or the ministries with prophetic anointing (pastors-prophets, teachers, prophets, apostles-prophets) manage to do so in the correct order, the same as the apostles.

2.-A heavenly selection
In the book of Proverbs 24.6: "You will make war with intelligence." "They will fight against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen and faithful. " -Apocalypse 17.14
We can see that fighting the Lamb Side, a battle towards a high demonic hierarchy, is not for all believers. God has chosen this army and has done so because of their faithfulness and sincerity.
Their loyalty has to do with unfathomable levels of cross, of denial, effort and courage. They are people who can take steps of obedience with consequences in disfavor of themselves, soldiers whose priority is to follow God despite their own life cost. These are the warriors of God who have power and authority against satan himself.
"They have overcome him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, that they despised their lives until death." -Apocalypse 12.11
There is an obedience to God that everyone can carry out, and they must do, their commandments and our Christian attitudes, but there are orders of high level of obedience, which command us to be chosen by God or that separate us from their valuable and high purposes. .

The war in the celestial spheres demands warriors of God without fear, effective soldiers, whom God can lead with a simple glance. People who are like the wind, to whom the Lord can blow where he wants because they have no roots and attachments on earth.
The courage and courage to fight are not the main qualities, but the level of deep death. There are divine ordinances that mark that some continue and others go back. It is extremely necessary for God to put us to the test to be chosen, because the levels of fear, confusion and pain have to be overcome and submitted before the battle.

3.- The heavens fight with the chosen ones
God takes two kinds of army, the heavenly and the earthly, and the two inter-relate and interact when the Lord calls the battle.
In different episodes of the bible we can see how they operate together. Elysium, the experiment this principle, when he was surrounded by his enemies, he remained in total peace, he was completely sure that he was protected, he knew that there was an army of the celestial court next to him. In 2 Kings 6.14-17 you can verify this story.

4.-Warriors of God filled with their light
The selected ones are warriors of God trained in the light, since the light of God is the only thing that manages to dispel the darkness. The word says:
"... because the weapons of our militia are not fleshly, but powerful in God for the destruction of strongholds" -2 Corinthians 10.4. He also says: "Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and put on the weapons of light." Romans 13:13
The most powerful weapon that exists, is the light is proven that no demon can resist it. God himself is the light. In operations of war, it is not only a theological argument, in which we are lightfully processional, but to be authentic lights that provoke the light of the Most High.
Source
The real struggle is a confrontation between light and darkness.
As the apostle John says: "In him was life and life was the light of Men, the light in the darkness shines and the darkness did not prevail against the light. -Juan 1.4- 5
A fundamental principle is that; The darkness becomes empty in the face of light. I do not have to shout at the darkness for hours to go away every time I turn on a light bulb, it is something similar, to the instantaneous manifestation of light, the darkness automatically disappears.
Source
If Jesus is the light that dwells in us, why do not the darkness around us immediately flee?
The answer is that even a large part of the light is covered because of real and substantial structures that the devil has cemented through men.
These veils of darkness cause the effect of a focus that has been covered by a solid shell around it. Light exists, is true, dwells in believers, but is veiled and covered by the strongholds of evil.
Then, the presence of light in the lives of those who have been made children of God, the contradiction is in its evident expression through the life of the believer.

Difference between the manifestation of the divine virtues and their full presence in the warriors of God.
There is a significant difference between the manifestation of the divine virtues and their full presence in us. A newly converted believer has, by faith, the presence of all the attributes and power of God. However, they do not manifest themselves immediately.
It is through the breaking, purging of iniquity and liberation of the inner being. Then understand the principles that produce the manifestation of light and the kingdom of God in all its fullness, that this will be so visible in the eyes of others.
Wow. Well written post Sister Darlenys. We mere mice are very impressed.

excelent apostol darnelys, i love post
If Jesus is the light that dwells in us, why do not the darkness around us immediately flee.... thanks for sharing
I have been following you and always your post are exceptional, your messages deep and always inspired one too dear friend. To we Christians the most powerful weapon we have as a worrier in Christ is the word. Without the word we nothing.
"In this particular case, God used only one man to change the destiny of Israel. Perhaps anyone else who had fought would have died, but God is driven through chosen people"
He chooses the right ones who he finds deemed for to do things. Most times a nobody is used or a sinner
Incredible post apostle.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
There is an obedience to God that everyone can carry out, and they must do, their commandments and our Christian attitudes, but there are orders of high level of obedience, which command us to be chosen by God or that separate us from their valuable and high purposes. .
This is awesome. God bless you for sharing
Although the children of God are the warriors of God Almighty, but genuinely those who are called to lead his people irrespective of our sinful nature are the warriors.
So let us all get ourselves prepared and ready to serve him and also get prepared at anytime to lead as real warrior of Christ Jesus..keep the good work @darlenys
