A REGIMENT OF ONE, AND THE KING!!!

I am A Soldier for Christ, a Warrior and a team member. I serve those WHO SEEK HOPE, as I live out my Christian Values. I will always place the mission to spread the good news of the gospel and Christ soon return first and foremost in my life. I will never quit, or accept defeat. I will never leave a fallen comrade for Satan to destroy. I am DISCIPLINED, and MENTALLY TOUGH, I am TRAINED and PROFICIENT in my TASKS to ENDURE TILL THE END.

I will always maintain my arms which is “the BELT OF TRUTH buckled around my waist, with the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in place, and with my feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the GOSPEL OF PEACE. In addition to all this, I will take up the SHIELD OF FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And I will Take the HELMET OF SALVATION and the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the WORD OF GOD. And I will PRAY IN THE SPIRIT on all occasions with all kinds of PRAYERS and REQUESTS…..” Eph 6:14-18

My interpretation of the U.S. Soldiers Creed, along with Paul’s Armor of protection against the forces of evil. Now let’s go to David and his ELITE SPECIAL FORCES of men called The THREE and the THIRTY in 1 Chron. 10:11-47 and 2 Samuel 23:8-39 you can read all of there adventures as they fought for their King.

Oh to be among the elite, we each should aspire for, because they were unique in there skills and endurance. Josheb-basshebeth, killing 800 with a spear . Shammah stranded in the middle of a field, held his ground while beating back an infantry of advancing Philistines.

But today let’s focus on Eleazar, one of the three of the elite warriors, he was with David when they gathered at Pas Dammim for battle. everyone retreated, but the King and Eleazar who stood their ground and struck down the Philistines until Eleazar’s hand grew tired and froze to the sword. And the Lord brought about a great victory that day…. 2 Samuel 23:9-10

Here you have the Kings entire regiment retreating, except one, Eleazar who stands his ground with the king and fights until His Hand froze to the sword. My friends I need you to  focus on what is happening Here EVERYONE RETREATS EXCEPT THE KING, AND ONE whose sword and hand, became as one, which can only happen when produced under very intense heat or under very extreme scientific conditions.

And when the smoke cleared, only two men were standing, The king and Eleazar clinging to his sward for dear life. Paul tells us part of the Armor of God is the Sword of the Spirit which is THE WORD OF GOD. My friends as children of the king we must also cling to the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT until it becomes INFUSED to every fiber of our MIND AND BODY.

And once this happens its no battle we cannot win with THE KING. My friends our world desperately seeks the Hope of a Savior, and most of the time it will only be an army of one, but with the Spirit of God Like Eleazar who would not leave the battle field even though deserted by others was still willing to draw his sword against the enemy even under insurmountable circumstances. And because of his faith and endurance “The Lord brought about a great victory.”

And He will do the same for us if we remember our ALLEGIANCE IS TO THE KING as we give Him all the glory and honor. As God’s chosen soldiers we must also have a  passion for what we are fighting for, which is a VICTORY for every soul that Satan has laid a claim to.

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 Eph 6:12 like the three and the thirty battle driven warriors in David’s elite squad they had a cause that made them passionate about winning the battle for the king who was also passionate about his elite force, and the FINAL VICTORY.

So as God’s chosen we must be passionate about the battle  because the King was so passionate about us that he SACRIFICED HIS ONLY SON so that we may all be conquerors in this war and claim victory, and one day if we STAY FOCUSED, have FAITH, ENDURE, and remember there is no other name by which we will be saved except JESUS CHRIST. THEN GOD’S KINGDOM AND ETERNITY WILL BE OURS

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
