True and Mature Soldiers

Soldiers of the Lord
Where are the true and mature soldiers in God's army? We are in a war that has more at stake than physical life and death. We are in a war that deals with eternal life and death.

Seek to know Jesus Christ intimately and all of His Word thoroughly. Put on your armor and make sure that your sword of the Spirit is sharp and out of the sheath! Draw near to Jesus Christ, and hold all to the Word of Truth rightly divided. Know and preach the good news of Jesus and of His kingdom. It is the good news of His kingdom that must be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations before the end can come. Those who are holding on to a rapture mentality to save them from hard times had better wake up and learn all of the Word and rightly divide it.

A Call to Wake Up
Everybody had better wake up and find out who the true people of God are. True people of God are any and all Jews and Gentiles who have surrendered all to Jesus Christ as the King of kings and Lord of lords. The day has come to quit focusing on places like Jerusalem and Samaria and start worshiping God in Spirit and in truth. It is time to focus on Jesus Christ and His kingdom. It is time to share truth with Jews and Gentiles. It is time to pray for peace for all of the earth and not just for Jerusalem. When Jesus was born, the angels sang, "Peace on earth and goodwill to all."

Learn that most preachers and most professing Christians presently do not know the Word of Truth very well. We are in trouble because of the lack of knowledge of God and His Word. We are in trouble because too many Christians are being trained by ministers who fall short in knowing Jesus Christ and His Word. We are in trouble because most Christians fall short in the same.

I am telling you again, wake up and repent. Seek God and find true and mature ministers. Find true and mature disciples, and unite with them in faith. Much is at stake, eternally and on earth. There will be godly restoration or unimaginable devilish storms. Look around you! Get a clue!

Do not give a fraction of space, time, or energy to those who seek to develop another Jesus and another gospel. Do spiritual warfare to pull down the strongholds that have captivated the minds of so many people, both in and out of the Church. Be a soldier who is not entangled with the affairs of life but pleases Him who has called you to be a soldier.

Be Discerning
The Holy Spirit knows all hearts and can give you what He knows. You can judge what is in anyone's heart by the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3-5 and Acts 8:21-23). The devil is trying to destroy the Church, from the inside and the outside. The devil attacks the church by all kinds of means from the outside, and he puts his ministers on the inside of churches to deceive people. The deceived people go and, unaware that they are doing the devil's work, deceive more people. They think they are right, but that is always what the spirit of deception does to deceived people. "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12; 16:25).

Conclusion
Find yourself a true and mature minister of the true Jesus Christ and let them equip you to become a mature disciple of Jesus Christ. Study until you know the Word of truth backwards and forwards. Be a good soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ! Help turn the world upside down for Jesus Christ. Fight the good fight of faith!
