I believe that it is imperative now that we go back to our 1st love, Jesus, and be in continual training in knowing who He is and how He wants us to love Him as God. We must understand His covenant and the mystery of His Kingdom, teaching it diligently to the next generation or they will be lost. I believe this is the foundation that we are lacking in the Church today. We have gotten spiritually out of balance and the scales are tipping. Training in love keeps the wife of Jesus balanced in her her daily walk and "acts of marriage" (use of spiritual gifts, authority, service in the Kingdom, etc.). The Church needs to get back to the basics of knowing and loving God.
If Christians would pledge to be Royal Soldiers and discipline themselves in Basic Love Training, then they would be an army who would know and love their God and would "be strong and take action".
With flattery he will corrupt those who abandon the promise. But the people who know their God will be strong and take action.
(Dan 11:32 GW)
King Jesus would clearly be seen in them and they would be strong and courageous by the power of the Holy Spirit. They would be beautiful, glorious, holy, and pure in the sight of their Husband, purposed to do His work on the Earth in these last days. They would be watchful soldiers, prepared for the return of their King!
And Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen? There is none like him among all the people." And all the people shouted, "Long live the king!"
(1Sa 10:24 ESV)
Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
(1Pe 2:17 ASV)
Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
(2Ti 2:3 ASV)
The LORD has called out his proud and confident soldiers to fight a holy war and punish those he is angry with. Listen to the noise on the mountains---the sound of a great crowd of people, the sound of nations and kingdoms gathering. The LORD of Armies is preparing his troops for battle. They are coming from far-off countries at the ends of the earth. In his anger the LORD is coming to devastate the whole country. Howl in pain! The day of the LORD is near, the day when the Almighty brings destruction.
(Isa 13:3-6 GNB)
"Therefore, be alert, because you don't know on what day your Lord will return.
(Mat 24:42 GW)
The end of all things is at hand; therefore be of sound mind and be sober, for the purpose of prayer. Above all, hold earnestly in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
(1Pe 4:7-8 MRC)
Remember the teaching that you were given and that you heard. Hold firmly to it and turn from your sins. If you don't wake up, I will come when you least expect it, just as a thief does.
(Rev 3:3 CEV)
"These will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with Him are the called and elect and faithful."
(Rev 17:14 MRC)
And on His garment and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
(Rev 19:16 MRC)
At the end of the thousand years, Satan will be set free. He will fool the countries of Gog and Magog, which are at the far ends of the earth, and their people will follow him into battle. They will have as many followers as there are grains of sand along the beach, and they will march all the way across the earth. They will surround the camp of God's people and the city that his people love. But fire will come down from heaven and destroy the whole army. Then the devil who fooled them will be thrown into the lake of fire and burning sulfur. He will be there with the beast and the false prophet, and they will be in pain day and night forever and ever.
(Rev 20:7-10 CEV)
King Jesus is coming back to defeat the king of Babylon (the devil) and He is also coming back to claim His Bride and City. That is our hope and that should be our motivation to complete our mission as Royal Soldiers.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will receive you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.
(Joh 14:3 LITV)
The one who is testifying to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
(Rev 22:20 ISV)
All Royal Soldiers, it is time to cry out - "Come Lord Jesus, our King!"
