During the 4 years that I was a military policeman in the Air Force and 25 1/2 years that I was a police officer in Iowa, I sure am glad they equipped me with more than just a uniform identifying me as a soldier and/or police officer. And yet, this is exactly what many Christians are doing. They have had the born again experience and have let the Holy Spirit clothe them or identify them as a new creation, a child of God, they have put on their new identify in Christ, put the Christian "uniform on" but are unarmed, unequipped, to carry out the great commission! Why?
I believe the answer to that question is because either people are not taught how to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (lack of knowledge) or they are taught that it is not for today. That would be like telling the men and woman in the Armed Forces today or the men and woman graduating from various police academy's today, that they were going to be sent out to fight for our freedom, to protect and serve, with just their uniform on as the weapons to carry out their duties were for soldiers and police officers in the past, but not for today. I would probably not be alive today if it were not for the weapons that I carried on duty as a soldier and as a police officer.
Satan and his army of soldiers( demons) hate mankind, and especially those who are saved because we get to go to the heaven that he was kicked out of thousands of year ago.( Luke 10:18) Jesus witnessed that event. But Satan is not threatend by our child of God status until we are commissioned with the power and authority that only comes through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit! I will complete this most important topic in my next blog entry. God bless you all! Jesus is coming soon, but as a soldier in His Army, this is our greatest hour and Jesus wants to anoint us with power to have great victories over the kingdom of darkness in the final days before the Lord's return! Yes and Amen!
