Keep your head up!

So you've made it. You've made it past level one. Past boot camp. Past the nights of pressing in when you felt like running for the hills. Past the temptation to go back. Past learning how to set boundaries and show that The Most High is the biggest priority in your life.

Did you think it was time to rest??? Time to take a break? NO! Its time to get your armor on and make ye ready to the battle!

2 Esdras 16:40 “O my people, hear my word: make you ready to thy battle, and in those evils be even as pilgrims upon the earth.” 

Ephesians Chapter 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

For some it's marching on endless drills in the jungle hunting out what is hidden. For others it's full on assault with air support. There you must learn tactical warfare and maneuvers to avoid death. For yet others it's patrol duty with night watch. Facing your fears head on and conquering them so that you can warn others.




You must find a seasoned soldier in this fight to show you the ropes. Show you what they did to survive. If you are full of pride and think you can do this without more training, study, and support you are wrong. The enemy will knock you out and send you to the infirmary so fast your head will spin. The Most High sent each one of his chosen into this battle zone with a mission in mind. So when your under fire and feel like giving up. Soldier keep on marching on!!!
