The Warrior is a Child

 

This war swirls around me

I carefully assemble my armor

 

Impenetrable breastplate fixed

Weapon’s belt buckled

 

Sword of the Spirit attached

Feet shod with protective peace

 

Helmet to save fitted

Faithful shield of defense

Fiery darts are many

 

Connection comm assurance

Well-tuned tested and ready

 

Prayers to the Father continuous

For the warrior is a child.

 

It is without doubt we are in a spiritual war. This war has been continuous throughout every generation since mankind gave up his power to the evil one in the Garden. The war the evil one has waged against God is being engaged here on earth. It has mankind as it’s central focus. Being the focus, all mankind from every generation must cull sides. Each individual singularly must determine. Each person must choose with whom he will stand in allegiance. If with the evil one then follow him against God. May it be known, however, never a story was told of a God-follower changing sides on his deathbed.

If with God then follow Him unabashedly, with total commitment readiness. The warfare we are immersed in is spiritual and it is truth. It is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. [Ephesians 6: ]

Each of us who stand firm in allegiance with God, in Christ, the bible declares “Children of God” by God’s adoption according to His own will. Being children of God by decree and involved in this spiritual war by fact, means every follower in allegiance with God is a child and a warrior. Each warrior is a child of God. Consequently, this warrior is a child who needs guidance and support/assistance from Father God every hour of every day for the duration of his stay on earth. This is verity. And it is life.

It is our honor.

It is Almighty God’s pleasure.

Whether young in age or ancient of our generation, as long as we have breath we are a child of God, representative of Christ on this earth. I must always remember to comport myself as such.
