Warriors

  

So much going on, so many questions, so many obvious answers, but many people ignore the realities of truth and instead replace them with their own misconceived notions.

Lately every time I write I try and make it a bit personal, this is a personal post, meant to raise questions within yourself and to shed some light on confusing topics.  This post is dedicated to the righteous warriors out there; you know who you are….

I have read throughout my life that we are all God’s children.  I differ with that, as I find it hard to believe that someone who has done nothing their whole life but raise hate and distraction, someone who murders in the name of God for unholy reasons, is a child of God.  They are not, they are born of the devil’s seed and are as far from the graces of God than you can imagine.

God has His warriors, and the devil has his.  Some may say all this angels and demon stuff is hogwash…well tell that to the herd of pigs who ran off a cliff.  We are all warriors of one kind or another.  First you must pick a side.  Are you a believer, or not?  Ultimately…there will be no middle ground…you must make a choice.  Then you must analyze your strength in that belief. 

There are many who are casual believers, they work their jobs, love their family and have a genuine belief in God, but their spiritual strength is weak.  Let me ask you this…if given the choice, renounce your belief in God or die at the swing of the executioner's axe, which would you choose?  Which choice would you make?  Remain steadfast in your resolve & beliefs & possibly perish from this world, knowing thru Faith death has no hold on your spirit…or continue down a godless path living in hell…forever!!!

Well, if you are truly one of God’s warriors you know this life is but a proving ground, a temporary home for learning souls, so death has no hold on us.  From my limited research I have found two sins that cannot ever be forgiven and result in eternal damnation.  Renouncing the Holy Ghost and doing unjustified harm to others in the name of God.  Do not be confused by these comments.  The first deadly sin is obvious, to stand firm in your belief there is no God and thus no Savior, no Holy Ghost, no blessed Trinity, then you have sealed your own fate.  Secondly, as warriors certainly we must defend ourselves from evil & if the death of our enemies is the result…then that is totally different than beheading missionaries in the name of Allah.  We must realize that there are those out there that would love nothing more than to have their misguided and corrupted ways infiltrate and influence an entire nation…it has been happening for years in ours.

So where do you stand...are you a child of God, or of demon seed? 

I can answer that for you…if you are reading this post than you are one of God’s children; demons do not read anything counter to their twisted ideals…as soon as they see the word God, they run like freighted swine…towards an awaiting cliff.  Why do you think those pigs, that inherited the demons that Jesus cast out from that man, ran off a cliff?  Because at that moment those evil spirits were horrified as they realized they had lost and rather than face the truth, rather than face the loving eyes of our Lord and the wrath of God…they took their own life in a failed effort to rid themselves of momentary pain and anguish that will haunt them forever. 

Such is the way… and the end of God’s enemies. 

Many people don’t believe in miracles.  Well not all miracles are miracles…some have reasonable and realistic explanations.  But one thing can’t be denied…the timing was impeccable.  God is the Master Time Keeper…He puts people in the right place at the right time with the right mindset to do incredible things.  People say show me a sign for me to believe!!!   Well, the signs have been all around and in you since the beginning of time…it is the doubters out there that choose to not hear or see.   

When the three men were cast into the furnace for their belief in God & their refusal to worship a false idol… they walked out unscathed…this was truly a miracle, but one with an unquestionable explanation.  The Book of Daniel tells us that these men were bound by the strongest men and ropes available and cast into a furnace heated seven times its normal temperature.  The account depicts the temperature being so hot the soldiers that cast them into the furnace were also burnt alive.  And what did the false king and his minions see but a fourth man also in the midst of the flames.  In those famous moments in time, no one knew except those three men of Faith...a Faith that assured their savior, be it in this body or the next.  God sent an Angel and put the thought in their head "come let's stand over here" as He guided them to their Salvation.  Thru this example, this miracle, they changed the hearts & souls of many in the kingdom…including the false king & his minions.  The Lord works in mysterious ways, but all mysteries are meant to be solved.  So, nothing should be considered unachievable when you are one of God’s warriors…He’s our steadfast protector & maker of miracles.

As one of God’s warriors you have a role to play.  Some are leaders, some are followers.  Some are teachers others are laborers.  Some rich others poor, our lot in life is not what matters…what matters is that you use that lot and you live that role in the faith of a triumphant Savior.  He will help you grow and become stronger in your beliefs…He will show you signs you cannot ignore.  He will make ready the path of your destiny, whatever you choose your legacy to be.  For in the end the truth will be told and when the scales of justice are balanced, it will always tilt towards God’s warriors.

So…now that you’ve read this much maybe you’re wondering what I feel my destiny is…truth is I don’t really know…do you know yours?  I know this much…the Lord uses His warriors in ways we do not always understand.  Over the years through prayer, study and observation I believe I know what the Lord wants me to do.  He has blessed me with some fantastic abilities and a truckload of memories…but most importantly He has given me hope and understanding that I try and relay thru my writing, music & daily actions & reactions.

On this Earth I am certainly no angel in the eyes of man…but I do not care what the common man thinks of me.  I am more dedicated to living up to what the Lord expects of me and using all my resources to accomplish a simple task…to be a messenger for God.  To be a conduit that connects the Heavens and the Earth.  Lofty goals and some may say conceited ideals, but that is the power of our Lord.  He makes you confident when all around you is weak and I am just one conduit in a whole system of warriors out there spreading a message of hope, encouragement and confidence.

When the Seven Thunders bellow their majestic call, who will hear?  The sound is unmistakable, but wisdom often falls on deaf ears, but His warriors will hear.  When the Book of Life is opened, will your name be there? If you are one of God’s Warriors, it most certainly will be.

As a whole we have done a decent job with what we were given to work with.  Our nation is a shining light of what others can be.  With churches on many corners and believers all around, you cannot deny there is good here to be found.  Just don’t let the bad drag you down.  Rise up from the ashes of your misfortunes and those of others, brush off the ash, and come out of that furnace with a smile on your face as you watch the unbelievers gape in awe.

Our Lord is a loving and mighty Lord and His second coming will be of love and might.  Love for His believers and the full wrath of His might against His doubters.  Be a believer…not a doubter.

As the hands of time spin…know this….

Those hands are attached to the arms 

Of the Master Time Keeper

All things in His due time, not yours, not mine

And certainly not those whose only desire

Is to stop time….so their own known fate

They may never know…but it is already too late.

On a strictly personal note, I will share this….

I believe in the four F’s.

Faith, Freedom, Family & Friendships 

In that order….so let there be no mistake where my Heart ultimately resides…In my Faith & in our Freedoms…if that means I lose family & friends because of my faith & defending our freedoms….

then so be it.

I have friends that I consider more family to me than much of my own family…strange but that’s how Faith works & that’s the power & privilege of Freedom.
