IMPLEMENTING THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

March 7,1999

The apostle Paul likens a Christian to a soldier, who has enlisted in the army Of God.
(2Timothy 2:1-4)

Most Christians have never been through BASIC TRAINING and many Christians who have been trained by the Holy Spirit and combat experienced Christian drill sergeants, (Ephesians 4:11-16) melt at the first encounter with the enemy. Instead of picking up their SPIRITUAL WEAPONS and wasting the enemy, they are overcome and taken PRISONERS OF WAR! James 3:14-16

Our WEAPONS OF WARFARE are listed for us in: Ephesians 6:10-18
We are told that they ARE MORE THAN MIGHTY! 2Corinthians 10:3-6

As soldiers in Christ we are to fight (engage) the enemy under the following conditions.

REJECT THE SPIRIT OF OFFENSE! Matthew 24:10

FORGIVE OTHERS!  Mark 11:25-26

HAVE FAITH IN GOD! Hebrews 11:1-6; Mark 11:22-24

HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST! NO CONFUSION! 1Corinthians 2:12-16

REJECT THE SPIRIT OF FEAR!  2Timothy 1: 6-7

RADIATE THE LOVE OF GOD - NOT BEING SELFISH! 1Peter 2:11-23, 4:12-16

RECEIVING THE JOY OF THE LORD! Philippeans 4:4-8, 13, 19

Now you are ready to attack (engage) the enemy and take back what he has stolen from God.

PRAY FOR THE SICK - Matthew 10:1, 7-8
CAST OUT DEMONS - Luke 10:1, 9:17-22

ARE YOU "A DUD" (NON-FUNCTIONING, ONE WHO HAS NO POWER) CHRISTIAN OR A GENUINE COMBAT SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST WHO IS FEARED BY THE DEMONS?

ARE YOU ENGAGING THE ENEMY AND WINNING THE BATTLES THROUGH JESUS CHRIST? 
Acts 19:11-17

The choice is yours! James 1:16-27
