The Bullet of Mission: Spiritual Warriors

While this Bullet is addressed to men, it applies to all Believers – men, women, young, old, of every race and nation.

Part 2

We have an enemy who will not bargain, negotiate, or compromise his ultimate purpose to deceive and destroy us. Our only recourse is spiritual combat! There can be no secret peace treaties! No special deals! Appeasement will only magnify disaster. Every man, especially the Biblical man, is a target for destruction.

Commander Satan will orchestrate continual, major crises in a man’s life to blind his priorities. His demons will strike with hundreds of emotional “fiery darts” in order to sap the believer’s strength! We must choose to be Christ’s warrior or Satan’s slave! All other doors on this earth are closed!

The combat Christian must also consider it an honor to sacrifice his life for his Master. Our “divine wind” is the Holy Spirit given in power to the obedient disciple.

The biblical man views his entire life as one of combat. There are times of peace; there are furloughs; but he always returns to his post. He must consider death to his own desires (mental, emotional, or physical) to be irrelevant to his commitment to the mission!

Mission: Endure everything for the sake of God’s elect (2 Timothy 2:9-10)

Mission: Love your wife as Christ love the church. (Ephesians 5:25)

Mission: Bring every thought into obedience for Christ. (2Corinthians 10:5)

Mission: Build Christ’s church against the forces of evil. (Matthew 16:18)

Mission: Provoke not your children to wrath. (Ephesians 6:4)

Mission: Endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ. (2 Timothy 2:3)

Mission: Rejoice always. (Philippians 4:4)

Mission: Give absolute obedience to prove you love Him. (John 14:21)

Mission: You fill in the rest ___ there are many other combat mission to give evidence you are a Biblical man.

The “Grand Canyons” or our personal spiritual journeys can only be conquered by the man who is willing to die for his chief! We must have eagle hearts. “Christ died for us, and we are bound to die for our brothers.” (I John 3:16)
