No more camouflage soldiers!!!
The purpose of camouflage is to blend into your surroundings in order to hide from an enemy, but that doesn't sit well with this man of God. As humans in our flesh, our tendency when attacked is to ball up into the fetus position instead of standing firm in our faith. Soldier we must count it as pure joy in those times of testing, because it's in those moments that we are being forged into powerful weapons for the kingdom of God. The word of God tells us that we're meant to be lights in the darkness just as Jesus was the light of the world. So i ask you this simple question, if we aren't being attacked what does that say?
Are we afraid? Are we cowards in the faith that we so strongly profess?
It's a sad picture when the children of God have been blending and hiding in the darkness instead of being a light shinning in it. Soldier you need to realize the power you posses in Christ Jesus. I've never read a story in the bible that showed Jesus as being some flimsy push over type of guy. When HE showed up HE came with a double-edged sword to slice this world in half and let the pieces fall where they may. Speaking from a warriors point of view I'll rush into battle any day for my Lord and Savior. In closing remember this, when you shine the light of Christ in this world the forces of darkness have no other choice but to flee from the scene.
So no more blending in people.....
IT'S TIME TO SHINE

We're at War
Psalm 27:14
Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart, and wait for the Lord.
We're at war people and we await our orders.
Our position is on the front line of battle where the battle is the fiercest.
We stand toe to toe and eye to eye with the enemy and his minions.
WE DO NOT BLINK
WE DO NOT FLINCH
WE PLANT OUR FEET
WE HOLD OUR SWORD TIGHTLY
We're calm yet a storm of courage and strength builds inside our soul aching to be released.
The time draws near and the enemy gets anxious and chaos breaks loose among their ranks.
Blood is on their breath and hate in their eyes. They shriek as a voice like rushing waters speaks from heaven.
RELEASE
The war cry is sounded and the army of the Lord breaks loose and sweeps over the darkness crushing every serpent underfoot. A glorious site as the light envelopes the darkness until there is only light. Shouts of victory flood the heavens and the earth and praises are raised to the Father. What a beautiful day we're moving towards.
amen amen

Equipped?
Let me ask you a question...Do you have what it takes?
Soldier God has equipped you with everything you need to fulfill his perfect purpose for your life. He's given you all the weapons you need for spiritual warfare to fight back the forces of darkness.
Second question...Are you using those tools or are you letting them get rusty and dull?
I extend a challenge to you and even myself to bring our your arsenal and start utilizing those weapons of warfare.
THE POWER OF PRAYER
THE PASSION OF PRAISE
WIELDING THE WORD
There is so much damage we could do to this dark world order, but we never finish boot camp. Let's be powerful and effective and move like a mighty river and overtake the enemy instead of letting him have his way with us.

Rock of my Salvation
I've known my savior as many things and recently HE'S been revealing HIMSELF to me as the ROCK of my salvation.
HE showed me that HE is SOLID, IMMOVABLE, and SECURE.
When I feel like life was tossing me back in forth like waves, HE reminded me that I have HIM to cling to.
HE'S THE ROCK OF AGES
The faithfulness of HIS word never wavers. Even when we get caught up in the stream of the day to day struggles, HE'S there. It's not until we decide to grab on and hold on for dear life that HE can show us what HE can really do.
HE IS THE ROCK THAT NEVER FAILS
HE WILL NEVER LEAVE NOR FORSAKE
HE ALWAYS STAYS
HE'S unchanging yet ever changing.
Picture yourself in your darkest and most hopeless moment and imagine HIM as a huge rock. Hide behind that ROCK and watch as the attempts of the enemy are all in vain as they beat themselves up against that ROCK THAT WILL NEVER MOVE.
Now take a step back and look at that ROCK that has protected you from what you thought was trying to destroy you and appreciate HIM.
OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD
My challenge to you is to stop living in these sand castles you've built for yourself, because when the tide comes in you'll lose it all. Build your life on the ETERNAL ROCK and watch how HE transforms your life of rubble into an unbreakable fortress.
amen amen

Trenches of War
The stench of battle fills the air.
I hear the voices of fellow soldiers surrendering to the enemy.
NOT ME!
Not even if I'm all alone will I give in!
My Spirit man cries out for war and I let out a holy roar.
The enemy scatters in confusion. They thought they finished everyone off, but there is still one man of God still left standing. I rise off the ground the mighty warrior I was created to be. Blood stained body ready to take back what the enemy has stolen. Reinforcements are on the way.
My brother's in arms heard the great war cry. I'm surrounded by mighty MEN OF VALOR.
The heavens open and our father speaks.
WAGE WAR ON THE ENEMY IN MY NAME....a HOLY WAR is being fought as we speak.
The Lord is our strength of whom shall we be afraid?
Righteous men march through the battle field destroying the strongholds of the enemy. The enemy flees at the name of Jesus. An army of Light engages the army of darkness and the victory is already ours. The cross to the resurrection ensures that our savior has done everything to secure eternal life with him in heaven.
As we secure our position and invade the enemies camp we see many casualties of war, but we will never become that. We move forward and progress in the things of God even during the heat of battle. Let us remember the call and fight for the lost especially during the battles we fight day to day. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. I want for nothing yet fight for everything he stands for. Be encouraged and keep moving forward.
