Born Again WARRIOR's CREED

 

John 4:34

King James Version

34 Jesus saith unto them, 

My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, 

and to finish his work.

Are you a warrior for GOD?

Then, this is your creed:

Proverbs 19:21

King James Version

21 There are many devices in a man's heart; 

nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, 

that shall stand.

Serving the LORD means, you OBEY Him.

That you follow His commandments.

What could be more noble, than following the LORD JESUS?

There is no blindness in a born again warrior.

You have the BIBLE as your Guide Book.

The WORD of GOD is your strength.

You have the HOLY SPIRIT as your Teacher.

You have JESUS to pray to, so you may know GOD's WILL.

You will know what to do.

You will know what to say.

You will know when to act.

All will be given you, by SPIRIT.

You are positioned for victory, in JESUS' NAME.

A born again warrior's life, is finely-tuned to GOD's.

JESUS set the pattern for us to follow.

Through His own life, the LORD showed obedience to the Father.

John 6:38

King James Version

38 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will, 

but the will of him that sent me.

We are to do the same.

To obey God's will alone.

Therein lies our victory.

If we deviate from that, we will be destroyed.

For the enemy waits to devour.

Looking for any weakness, any opening, any deviation.

For his ways are devious.

He is magnetized to such.

1 Peter 5:8

King James Version

8 Be sober, 

be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:

A warrior of the SPIRIT obeys the LORD JESUS.

He is the ONLY LEADER I believe in.

We fall short of such perfection.

1 Peter 2:21-22

King James Version

21 For even hereunto were ye called: 

because Christ also suffered for us, 

leaving us an example, 

that ye should follow his steps:

22 Who did no sin, 

neither was guile found in his mouth:

A warrior has a code.

As born again, my code is HOLINESS.

My guide is SCRIPTURE.

My teacher is SPIRIT.

We are to be holy.

Leviticus 19:1-2

King James Version

19 And the Lord spake unto Moses, 

saying,

2 Speak unto all the congregation 

of the children of Israel, 

and say unto them, 

Ye shall be holy: 

for I the Lord your God am holy.

A warrior has training.

As born again, our training is PERFECTION.

We are to be perfect, in the eyes of God.

JESUS taught us how to be perfect.

Matthew 5:48

King James Version

48 Be ye therefore perfect, 

even as your Father which is in heaven 

is perfect.

A warrior has a teacher.

SPIRIT was given as a gift from GOD.

To teach us the ways of JESUS.

We have the BEST BATTLE GENERAL of all.

John 16:13

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, 

is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, 

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

It is an honor, to SERVE the LORD.

We fight the good fight, under the banner of CHRIST.

1 Timothy 6:12

King James Version

12 Fight the good fight of faith, 

lay hold on eternal life, 

whereunto thou art also called, 

and hast professed a good profession 

before many witnesses.

What are we fighting for?

The WORD of GOD.

Upholding the INTEGRITY of SCRIPTURE, in a world steeped in sin, and lies.

Of course, we already know who wins in the end.

All have been prophesied.

We are merely following God's will.

In fulfillment of SCRIPTURE.

Just as the LORD JESUS did.

At the CROSS.

Through SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE, JESUS has equipped His faithful with weapons for conquering.

Born again warriors are to put on the FULL ARMOR of GOD.

Our victory is in CHRIST.

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

Why We NEED the ANOINTING of the SPIRIT

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Luke 24:49

King James Version

49 And, behold, 

I send the promise of my Father upon you: 

but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, 

until ye be endued with power from on high.

Until we are "endued with power from on high", we cannot see clearly.

Only through this anointing from God will the lessons stick.

Otherwise, we will keep turning away from Him.

Man cannot make us commit.

Only the Holy Spirit of God can.

We need the Spirit of God to anoint us.

Only God's Spirit can help us understand:

-- Scripture.

-- The will of God.

-- The way of Jesus.

-- The way of Spirit.

-- The urgency of the times.

-- The importance of being born again.

By ourselves, we cannot possibly comprehend all that.

Many people will try to convert you to become born again, but unless God Himself sees your utmost surrender, He will not send His Spirit to teach you.

If we are still too much of ourselves -- proud, ambitious, greedy, vain, worldly, egotistic -- God cannot send His Spirit.

The lusts of the flesh cannot conform with the ways of Spirit.

Galatians 5:17

King James Version

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other: 

so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

God needs our complete surrender.

Only then will He send His Spirit.

The day God sees you're ready for His Spirit, you will want to become born again ON THE SPOT.

The Holy Spirit will teach you how to become born again.

There will be no hesitation.

The desire will be immediate.

And the Lord's Spirit will set out to work on you right away.

You will be led to Scripture.

You will begin to understand the Word of God.

You will begin to know the path of Jesus, which He carved, so we may follow.

God seeks our humility.

He seeks the sincerity of our hearts.

Are we searching for Him?

Do we have a desire to know who He Is?

Have we given up on what the world taught us, and failed to teach us?

Are we now ready for God's truth, and wisdom?

If we are, you can be sure God will show up.

He has given the task of saving, to His beloved Son.

Here is where you will see the faithfulness of Jesus in His love for God, and His mission for humanity:

John 6:39-40

King James Version

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, 

that every one which seeth the Son, 

and believeth on him, 

may have everlasting life: 

and I will raise him up at the last day.

If you want eternal life with the Lord, surrender your will to Him.

It's the only surrender that bears real fruit.

Surrendering to the world is disaster.

Surrendering to God is eternal life.

Surrender completely, acknowledge your inability to make sense of things, for we don't have the ability to see the whole picture.

Only God can.

As they say, "Let go, and let God."

The day you surrender, is the day of your freedom.

You will be free from false doctrines.

You will begin to know the TRUE doctrine of the LORD.

You will become a true believe in Jesus.

The Lord awaits your humility.

The Lord Jesus did say:

Matthew 5:5

King James Version

5 Blessed are the meek: 

for they shall inherit the earth.

I can tell you all these things, for I've gone through it myself.

When I renounced all previous knowledge, and sought the Lord for HIS knowledge, there was no looking back.

Only my walk with SPIRIT mattered.

Which continues steadily each day.

For we await the glorious return of the Lord, when He descends from heaven, so His faithful can meet Him up in the air.

That is the most immediate thing to prepare for.

How could have I known that?

Only through Spirit.

Why NO ONE can outwit GOD

 

Psalm 145:3-5

King James Version

3 Great is the Lord, 

and greatly to be praised; 

and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, 

and shall declare thy mighty acts.

5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, 

and of thy wondrous works.

Do you think it's possible to outwit God?

To find Him sleeping?

Surely, you don't think so.

Satan tried.

Knowing Jesus was tired, and hungry, after 40 days, and 40 nights of fasting in the wilderness, he tried tempting the Lord.

Of course, Spirit allowed it.

Matthew 4:1

King James Version

4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit 

into the wilderness 

to be tempted of the devil.

But Jesus knew what mattered most.

Matthew 4:4

King James Version

4 But he answered and said, 

It is written, 

Man shall not live by bread alone, 

but by every word 

that proceedeth 

out of the mouth of God.

Just so you know, the proud, but fallen cherub, knows Scripture, too.

Matthew 4:6

King James Version

6 And saith unto him, 

If thou be the Son of God, 

cast thyself down: 

for it is written, 

He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: 

and in their hands they shall bear thee up, 

lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

But Jesus IS Scripture.

He is the WORD of GOD.

Look how the Lord answered.

Matthew 4:7

King James Version

7 Jesus said unto him, 

It is written again, 

Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

In Scripture, the devil is depicted as various princes, at various times.

But that's for another story.

But this verse testifies of how these princes thought they had outwitted, humiliated, and defeated the Lord.

They had men crucify Jesus.

What they didn't know was the mystery of God.

1 Corinthians 2:7-8

King James Version

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, 

even the hidden wisdom, 

which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: 

for had they known it, 

they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

What satan was not privy to -- for why would he -- is that the crucifixion was for God's perfect purpose.

Hebrews 2:14

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;

The tempter, thinking he had broken the Lord's body, and spirit, didn't care when Jesus declared, as He was nailed on the cross:

John 19:28

King James Version

28 After this, 

Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, 

that the scripture might be fulfilled, 

saith, 

I thirst.

He surely gloated when the soldiers cruelly gave the Lord anything but water.

John 19:29

King James Version

29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: 

and they filled a spunge with vinegar,

 and put it upon hyssop, 

and put it to his mouth.

The deceiver had no inkling of God's greater plan, even when Jesus gave up the ghost.

Take note of the Lord's last words.

John 19:30

King James Version

30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, 

he said, 

It is finished: 

and he bowed his head, 

and gave up the ghost.

"It is finished."

What was finished?

The devil was finished. 

But do you think the fallen one accepted defeat?

Nope.

He went on a rampage.

Revelation 12:12

King James Version

12 Therefore rejoice, 

ye heavens, 

and ye that dwell in them. 

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth 

and of the sea! 

for the devil is come down unto you, 

having great wrath, 

because he knoweth 

that he hath but a short time.

You see, the devil's main fault was pride.

Isaiah 14:11-14

King James Version

11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, 

and the noise of thy viols: 

the worm is spread under thee,

 and the worms cover thee.

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, 

O Lucifer, 

son of the morning! 

how art thou cut down to the ground, 

which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, 

I will ascend into heaven, 

I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: 

I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, 

in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; 

I will be like the most High.

How a created cherub could be that delusional, only God knows.

Surely, knowing Scripture as he does, satan knows what's in store for him.

Revelation 20:1-3

King James Version

20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, 

having the key of the bottomless pit 

and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, 

that old serpent, 

which is the Devil, 

and Satan, 

and bound him a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, 

and shut him up, 

and set a seal upon him, 

that he should deceive the nations no more, 

till the thousand years should be fulfilled: 

and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Still, God allows him to roam, for a time.

But the Lord would not be denied His plan.

Evil must end.

Revelation 20:7-10

King James Version

7 And when the thousand years are expired, 

Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations 

which are in the four quarters of the earth, 

Gog, 

and Magog, 

to gather them together to battle: 

the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, 

and compassed the camp of the saints about, 

and the beloved city: 

and fire came down from God out of heaven, 

and devoured them.

10 And the devil that deceived them 

was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, 

where the beast and the false prophet are, 

and shall be tormented day and night 

for ever and ever.

For the faithful have suffered enough, and it's time to reward them.

Revelation 21:1-4

King James Version

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: 

for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;

 and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, 

new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 

Behold, 

the tabernacle of God is with men, 

and he will dwell with them, 

and they shall be his people, 

and God himself shall be with them, 

and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, 

nor crying, 

neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.

Who can outwit the Creator?

How can anyone even think that?

As a student of Spirit, and a warrior for the Lord, I do my diligent research.

He led me to read Scripture.

All have been prophesied.

Jesus remains victorious.

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

Find STRENGTH in Jesus.

Find TRUTH in Scripture.

Seek GOD with all your heart.

All good come from that seeking.

For the WORD is all that will remain.

How demons MESS with our MIND

 

1 Peter 5:8

King James Version

8 Be sober, 

be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:

It's like a cancer cell that eats up our system.

Quiet, stealthy, traitorous.

That's how demons mess with us.

How they love to trip, ESPECIALLY the elect.

Matthew 24:24

King James Version

24 For there shall arise false Christs, 

and false prophets, 

and shall shew great signs and wonders; 

insomuch that, 

if it were possible, 

they shall deceive the very elect.

The moment you are Christ's -- a born again -- prepare for battle.

Even as demons are afraid of Christ, they will still want to ambush you.

They look for such openings, when your guard's down.

Here's how they mess with ANY one's mind.

No one is immune to these attacks.

Demons plant seeds of doubt, fear, hatred, and anxiety in you.

All lies, such as:

She's prettier than you are.

You'll amount to nothing.

You're not smart enough.

Why would God make time for you?

No one loves you.

You're pretty worthless, aren't you?

If God was really so great, why can't He save His OWN Son?

Take just a little bit.

One drink won't hurt you.

No one will notice.

The rich always get away with it.

The poor will always be oppressed.

There's no hope.

The Bible's too complicated.

What makes you think you'll understand Scripture?

If God really loved you, He won't make your life so difficult.

There's an easier way, mind you.

You ask too many questions.

Israel is the enemy.

Those are just a few that come to mind, as they mess with our minds.

As a child of God, we are viewed through their corrupt microscopes, checking for "holes" in our spiritual system.

If we do not put on the FULL ARMOR of GOD, they will find such openings, and have a feast day playing with us, mocking God, and destroying our souls.

Demons inject jealousy. 

They create fear.

They plant doubt.

They cause confusion.

They cause addiction.

They create lust.

They propagate greed.

They foster division.

They harbor strife.

They make you self-absorbed.

Pride is their main food.

Such is their strategy.

It's like a cancer cell that grows exponentially.

ESPECIALLY if you've got ego, greed, or hatred in your heart.

You will be affected, and infected, by their strategies.

They can only grow, what's already there.

They can only feed upon what you've allowed.

They know that much about you.

They study us, night and day.

It' really difficult being in the flesh.

We are subject to great challenges, and temptations.

Romans 8:7

King James Version

7 Because the carnal mind 

is enmity against God: 

for it is not subject to the law of God, 

neither indeed can be.

That's why our only hope is in JESUS.

Keep your heart is right with Christ.

Be the faithful believer, a born again.

LIVE by Scripture.

Remain obedient toward the Father.

That way, the world has no hold over you.

You are not hooked by satan's devices in the world.

If you're a true born again, caring only to listen, obey, and follow Christ, you will be a challenge to the enemy.

As a believer in Jesus, you must face sin squarely.

If you do not know what sin is, how you are being corrupted, or how you are digging your own ditch, you cannot win.

If you declare you have not one iota of sin, they'll have a field day with that.

How the enemy loves proud people!

Sin is a disease of the soul.

Face the disease, and be victorious in CHRIST!

Let the Holy Spirit of God teach you the ways of Christ.

JESUS is our ONLY hope in defeating demons.

For these creatures are mighty afraid of Him.

James 2:19

King James Version

19 Thou believest that there is one God; 

thou doest well: 

the devils also believe, 

and tremble.

IMPERIOUSNESS is foolishness

 

Proverbs 16:18 

King James Version

18 Pride goeth before destruction, 

and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Imperiousness is being haughty, proud, arrogant, superior, froward.

God hates the froward mouth, the boastful mouth.

Proverbs 8:13 (KJV)

13 The fear of the Lord 

is to hate evil: 

pride, 

and arrogancy, 

and the evil way, 

and the froward mouth, 

do I hate.

We in the world, are too concerned with what the neighbors would say.

In my born again heart, it matters only what GOD would say.

What does He think of me?

Am I worthy in His sight?

Sinful as I am, I must have been.

As we all are.

For He gave His life as ransom that we may be saved.

Mark 10:45 (KJV)

45 For even the Son of man came 

not to be ministered unto, 

but to minister, 

and to give his life 

a ransom for many.

In the LORD JESUS -- the GOD of ALL -- is no imperious bone in His body.

He didn't care what people said about Him.

He only cared He was obedient to the FATHER.

John 6:38-40 (KJV)

38 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will, 

but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me 

I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, 

that every one which seeth the Son, 

and believeth on him, 

may have everlasting life: 

and I will raise him up at the last day.

Our SAVIOR came to the world, as nothing, for He wanted to set an example for all of us, Jew and Gentile.

Philippians 2:5-7 (KJV)

5 Let this mind be in you, 

which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, 

thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, 

and took upon him the form of a servant, 

and was made in the likeness of men:

And as a man of no reputation, the LORD JESUS took on PERFECT humility.

Isaiah 53:3-8 (KJV)

3 He is despised and rejected of men; 

a man of sorrows, 

and acquainted with grief: 

and we hid as it were our faces from him; 

he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, 

and carried our sorrows: 

yet we did esteem him stricken, 

smitten of God, 

and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, 

he was bruised for our iniquities: 

the chastisement of our peace was upon him; 

and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; 

we have turned every one to his own way; 

and the Lord hath laid on him 

the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, 

and he was afflicted, 

yet he opened not his mouth: 

he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, 

and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, 

so he openeth not his mouth.

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: 

and who shall declare his generation? 

for he was cut off out of the land of the living: 

for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

After reading all these verses about the LORD JESUS, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, can we still afford to be froward?

May our hearts be in the right place with God.

Only by His GRACE do we exist, and are saved.

IDOLATRY is an abomination

 

Exodus 20:1-6 

King James Version

20 And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am the Lord thy God, 

which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, 

out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, 

or any likeness of any thing 

that is in heaven above,

 or that is in the earth beneath, 

or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, 

nor serve them: 

for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 

visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 

unto the third and fourth generation of them 

that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them 

that love me, 

and keep my commandments.

GOD hates idolatry.

You would obey His first commandment, if you really love, and honor God.

Why is it so difficult for many to understand this?

It is also the first great commandment, according to JESUS.

Matthew 22:36-38 

King James Version

36 Master, 

which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

But need we be surprised, considering the world is under the sway of the fallen one?

GOD is a LIVING God, in the person of JESUS.

Idols -- whether of gold, or silver -- cannot speak, and are of no use to the salvation of your soul.

They cannot heal you, save you, nor enrich you.

But obsession for them will destroy you.

Jeremiah 10:3-5 

King James Version

3 For the customs of the people are vain: 

for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, 

the work of the hands of the workman, 

with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; 

they fasten it with nails and with hammers, 

that it move not.

5 They are upright as the palm tree, 

but speak not: 

they must needs be borne, 

because they cannot go. 

Be not afraid of them; 

for they cannot do evil, 

neither also is it in them to do good.

There are many forms of idolatry, too.

There is the inordinate love for people who represent "idols" in history, entertainment, sports, government, education, science, wealth, beauty, or intellect.

ANYTHING that distracts us from LOVING God, is a form of idolatry.

We get distracted from focusing on the WORD of GOD.

We are beholden to the things of the world, to the great delight of the prince of the world, who does everything in his delusional power, to distract us from WORSHIPING the ONE, TRUE GOD.

Well, there is only ONE GOD, and that is the LORD JESUS.

Hebrews 1:1-6 

King James Version

1 God, 

who at sundry times and in divers manners 

spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, 

whom he hath appointed heir of all things, 

by whom also he made the worlds;

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, 

and the express image of his person, 

and upholding all things by the word of his power, 

when he had by himself purged our sins, 

sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

4 Being made so much better than the angels, 

as he hath by inheritance obtained 

a more excellent name than they.

5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, 

Thou art my Son, 

this day have I begotten thee? 

And again, 

I will be to him a Father, 

and he shall be to me a Son?

6 And again, 

when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, 

he saith, 

And let all the angels of God worship him.

JESUS is the only one worthy of our devotion, loyatly, and worship, for He is the IMAGE of GOD.

Colossians 1:12-15 

King James Version

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, 

which hath made us meet 

to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us 

from the power of darkness, 

and hath translated us 

into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, 

even the forgiveness of sins:

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, 

the firstborn of every creature:

GOD is all that matters.

The CREATOR is the ONLY ONE who deserves our undivided adoration, and attention.

JESUS has shown us how to love the FATHER.

Jesus' WAY has been the ONLY WAY.

John 14:6 (KJV)

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

Idolatry belongs in the latrine.

Harsh words for a harsh sin.

For  myself, I LOVE and HONOR the LORD JESUS alone.

Joshua 24:15 (KJV)

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, 

choose you this day whom ye will serve; 

whether the gods which your fathers served 

that were on the other side of the flood, 

or the gods of the Amorites, 

in whose land ye dwell: 

but as for me and my house, 

we will serve the Lord.
