The Supernatural Soldier

 2 Timothy 2:3-5

Anyone who is a citizen of God's kingdom is a soldier, our text passage shows us that.

In Christ Jesus we are part of the army of God. God's military team, soldiers of Christ.

There are similarities between physical soldiers and the spiritual soldiers that we are in Christ.

There are things we see about the nature, lifestyle, and efforts of soldiers in this natural realm that applies to us, that we can learn from as spiritual soldiers.

A major quality of soldiers, good soldiers, is their loyalty to the nation they come from or represent.

We are from the kingdom of God in Christ Jesus; we are members of a holy nation!

1 Peter 2:9

The kingdom of God is a supernatural kingdom and God has given us the kingdom.

Luke 12:32

If the kingdom of God is supernatural and you are a soldier from God's kingdom it means you are a supernatural soldier.

Soldiers have ranks, positions, assigned posts and orders they follow.

You have a kingdom rank, a kingdom assignment, a place, a post where you should be in God's service.

Luke 2:49

You have a position God expects you to operate in and there are specific and general orders or instructions for you to follow.

2 Timothy 2:4

A supernatural soldier is an individual who focuses on the things of the kingdom over the things of this world.

Matthew 6:33

A supernatural soldier is an individual who strives to obey and please His Master-Jesus.

John 14:15

A supernatural soldier is a person who fights the good fight of faith.

1 Timothy 6:12

A supernatural soldier is a person who is conscious and focused on his kingdom assignment.

Colossians 3:2

A supernatural soldier is a person who is not afraid to wage warfare spiritually.

Ephesians 6:10-12

A natural soldier follows the command of his senior officer, in the same manner the supernatural soldier follows the instructions and command of Jesus Christ.

Deuteronomy 4:2

Soldiers are tough.

Soldiers are sacrificial.

Natural soldiers do not give up easily, they are trained to fight to the death if need be.

The spiritual soldier is the same, they should not love their lives so much they cannot die for God or the things of the kingdom.

Revelation 12:11

The spiritual soldier is an individual who doesn't give up on God or turn back from the narrow path just because it is tough.

Proverbs 24:10

A natural soldier is not comfort minded on the battle front; in the same manner we are not to place comfort over serving God as supernatural soldiers of Christ.

The Bible emphasizes endurance.

The supernatural soldier should have endurance.

Colossians 1:11

The supernatural soldier is a man/woman of faith.

1 John 5:4

The supernatural soldier operates by faith more than sight.

2 Corinthians 4:18

The supernatural soldier is a person of patience.

Romans 12:12

The supernatural soldier operates in the wisdom of God.

Proverbs 4:7

The supernatural soldier operates in spiritual gifts.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

Physical soldiers are known for discipline, discipline in their minds towards their assignment and discipline with their physical training which can be rigorous.

Spiritual soldiers are the same.

The supernatural soldier has been called to a life of discipline!

1 Corinthians 9:27

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
