MY FRIENDS, IN THE WAR ROOM THE STRATEGY IS BEING LAID OUT!!
My friends the war room, from which the controversy between good and evil is being directed, and the strategy is being laid out for our salvation. Soldiers are needed, but it is all voluntary, your reward comes when God says “it is finished.”
But first we must understand, it is more than just to say I’ll go. It is even more than carrying a cross and praying without ceasing but don’t get me wrong, those attributes are very important, but with commitment comes a much greater responsibility. In addition, it is even more than just to say, I have a new heart, I’m ready to serve.
“A new heart.” [We do not really] know what it means. [We] look for a special change to take place in [our] feelings. This [we] term conversion. Over this error thousands have stumbled to ruin, not understanding the expression, “Ye must be born again.” …..
When Jesus speaks of the new heart, He means the mind, the life, the whole being. To have a change of heart is to withdraw the affections from the world, and fasten them upon Christ. To have a new heart is to have a new mind, new purposes, new motives.
What is the sign of a new heart?—a changed life. There is a daily, hourly dying to selfishness and pride…..The religion of Christ is to take possession of the whole being, and give force and power to all our faculties, renovating, cleansing, and refining.
It manifests itself without parade, and high-sounding words, but is shown in an upright and unselfish life.” (E.G. White Sons and Daughters of God pp 100) “Softly and tenderly Jesus is pleading for workers and the question we must ask ourselves is, why should we linger and heed not His [love, grace and] mercies?”
My friend inside the war room are also the “Special Forces,” who made heaven and earth. A Father, who gave His only Begotten Son and a Son who gave it all for our salvation, even dying on the cross. And also there is the Spirit of God who was also there from the beginning.
He was there when “the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. His responsibility was to move upon the face of the waters. And then God said “let there be light: and there was light.” Gen. 1:2 (KJV)
And it is this same Spirit, who moves within the dark places of our Hearts, who seeks us to give it all to the Master. My friends it’s personal now, our responsibility is to go out on the front lines, but is has to be a personal decision, because the front lines is where we are needed, where the battle is raging and chaos is everywhere.
But to go out, is to say I give my heart. My time. My talents and money to thee, because you gave your all for me on Calvary. My friends now is not the time to lose focus, nothing in this world is worth losing our Salvation for.
Satan gave it all up for death. Now he is asking you to do the same. “All of this I will give you,” he says, “if you will only bow down and worship me.” And my friends what Satan is not telling you, is that all of this, is only death.
“But the gift of God, is eternal life” in a place “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Cor. 2:9 (KJV)
