Understanding Training for God's Army - There Are Levels!

We’ve all heard the references before to “God’s Army,” fighting spiritual battles and being a “soldier for Christ.” But, have you ever stopped to think about what that actually means? Because, as with everything with the Lord, there is a lot of meaning, importance and symbolism hidden inside these terms and it’s up to us to seek it out so we can better understand our journey with Him.

As believers, it is extremely important for us to understand how God’s “training” works, so we don’t get confused or unnecessarily upset along our own journey and so we can continually be seeking to go further with Him.

Remember... It's the Way God Works!

Back in January, the Holy Spirit spoke the phrase “Mind the Gap” to me and had me release a word around it. In it, He spoke about how we are in the middle of a “gap” - which is "an undesirable break between situations.” It is the space of time between when God speaks something and when we SEE it manifest in the natural.

He gave this warning right at the end of January because He knew a “gap” was coming and He wanted to warn us ahead of time not to “fall” in the middle of it. Because if we go by our flesh… our “self”…. our natural senses… we will fall. Our thoughts and especially our emotions can (and will) betray us. It’s why the Lord tells us to walk by faith and not by sight.

Fear is a Juggernaut

A couple weeks ago, the Holy Spirit whispered to me, "fear is a juggernaut." I knew I had heard that word before, but wasn't exactly sure what it meant, so I looked it up.

A "juggernaut" is a massive, relentless force that attempts to crush everything in its path. It also refers historically to a tradition where people who worshipped the god Krishna would construct massive, tower-like chariots with many wheels and pull them through a crowd of worshippers where many often got crushed beneath them. Which is why the term is also used to describe something that demands blind devotion or merciless sacrifice, and socially, the behavior of everyone jumping on a "bandwagon." It can also refer to a large "machine" or group of people working together or a growing political movement with an association of being crushingly destructive.

There's so much in that phrase and definitions alone, I barely need to elaborate!

The REAL Good News of the Gospel

Do you know the good news of the Gospel?

The real good news?

Surprisingly, many people who consider themselves to be believers or Christians don’t actually know the real good news. At least, not to the extent that Jesus wants them to.

Because the real good news… the real Gospel… is scandalous. It’s outrageous. And in today’s world, it is even offensive to some.

But, that’s what makes it the Gospel - which in and of itself means “nearly too good to be true news.” Except it is… true.

And Jesus wants to make sure you know it.

It's Time to Let Go

I couldn’t decide what to name this post.

There was so much wisdom and revelation I felt led to share, that it seemed almost impossible to narrow it down to one title. But, when I stopped for a moment and asked the Holy Spirit, “What should I call this, Lord?”, I felt Him sum it all up in one phrase - it’s time to let go.
