What are You - The Warriors Agenda

Sad to say most Christians have no idea.

Do you?

What is a Born Again, Spirit-Filled Christian?

Are they poor, weak, down-trodden, sad servants of God?

Or are they something more?

Could it be that they are more than what they know?

Could it be that they are not mere servants of God,

but Sons and Daughters and Warriors of the Kingdom of God?

If you chose the later, then you are right…

We have often sang the song,

“I Am a Friend of God”

That’s nice. But, do you know what?

I think I’d rather be what the Word says I am, in I John 3:1, a ‘son’…

Why?

Because being a ‘friend’ of someone is ‘nice’,

but being their ‘blood’ relative is better...

Why?

Because being a ‘friend’ lasts only as long as they ‘like you’.

When they don’t like you anymore, you’re gone, out of sight, and out of mind.

Can’t you think of a few people at one time who were your ‘best friends’

but now you don’t hear from them anymore?

You don’t call them, and they don’t call you.

Maybe you don’t even like each other anymore.

But guess what?

You can feel that way about your sister or your brother,
or even your uncle Fred, but you can’t get rid of them,
because you are tied together by the fact that you are ‘blood relatives’.

Can’t get rid of them, can you?

Their breath may stink or they may just get tha heck on your nerves sometimes,

but like it or not, they are still ‘family.’

Our Heavenly Father chose to be more than just a ‘friend’ to us.

He chose to bind Himself to us throughout the ages by the Blood of Jesus Christ, His Son.

Why?

So that even when we ‘got on His nerves’ with our disobedience periodically,

we would still be bound to Him, and He to us…

Now, imagine all the things that you’ve done that you know are wrong.

All the things that you’ve done that you know have been displeasing to the Lord.

You prayed and asked for His forgiveness, right? And, He forgave you.

But one day you thought about it once and you pondered,

“Mannn, if I was the Lord, I don’t now if I would’ve forgiven me
for all the stuff I did, and the way I’ve acted.”

But He did. He forgave you anyway, even the stuff you went back and did ‘twice’!

Why?

Not because you were His ‘friend’.

He loved you more than that.

Think about it.

If your ‘friend’ kept doing stuff on purpose that he knew hurt your feelings

over and over and over and over and over and over again,

would he remain your ‘friend’ for very long?

Most likely not.

But God forgave you…

Not because you were His ‘friend’, but because you are His ‘Child’.

Get it?

And the Lord Jesus Christ shed His Blood, so that you could have that privilege

of being called a ‘son of God’.

No, not THE Son of God, but “A” son of God. John 1:12.

And guess what?

It is such an honor, that it’s the next best thing! (John 1:12, I John 3:1)

Jesus shed His Blood for you to be a ‘Son or Daughter of God’.

You have been ‘washed from your sins in His Blood’.

Guess what?

If that doesn’t make you a ‘Blood-Relative’ so to speak, nothing does!

Go read about yourself in Malachi 3:16 & 17.

It’ll do you good to see how far back the Lord and the Father planned

to make you a ‘Son or Daughter of God.’

If you are Born-Again, then understand you have been ‘adopted’

by the Heavenly Father. Romans 8:14-17, Galatians 4:5-7.

It’s amazing, but that’s just how much God loved us!

Not that we were worth it in the eyes of the World or Satan,

not that we deserved it, we didn’t. But that didn’t matter to Him.

It didn’t matter to Him what Satan, the Angels or anyone else ‘thought’.

We were worth it to Him… Hebrews 2:16-17.

Why?

Because the Lord looked at us and didn’t merely see us the way we were,

but He saw us the way that He had originally created us to be.

And He and the Father were both unwilling to concede that original dream

and purpose to the devil, even if it cost Him His life, and it did.

But that’s not where the story ended, because He chose to wash us in His own Blood

from our sins, we who were dead in sin, are now dead to it,
and He rose from the dead to see to it that we can live consistently and victoriously, in Him.

So, dear Anointed Child of God,
remember that that is what and who you are…I John 3:2

Think about it.

You’ll do things a million times more for your Son or Daughter,
that you’d never do for a ‘friend’.

Now, tell me, which do you want to be?

A ‘friend’ has to try to ‘earn’ favor.

A Son or Daughter already has it, automatically, from ‘birth’.
Ephesians 1:5, Psalm 5:11 & 12.

A ‘friend’ has to appeal and plead for help in the middle of the night,
while all a Son or Daughter has to say is,

“Daddy? Help me…” Jeremiah 33:3, Luke 10:19, Hebrews 13:5 & 6, Psalm 91:14-16

…And a Father will tear down walls to get to His child…

In the Old Testament men strove to be called ‘God’s Friend’,

But in the New Testament, Jesus Christ died to make you

a Son or Daughter of God…John 1:12.

Jesus poured out His very life to make you a “Blood” relative…

Why would you choose to be anything less, than what He died to make you?

Know who you are In Him, and don’t accept anything less than that.

Because to accept anything less than that, is to say that Jesus Christ

died for nothing and that the New Covenant and all of its tremendous blessings

is no better or no different, than the ‘Old’ one.

Jesus didn’t die to make you ‘weaker’,
but to purge you of your sins,

make you a new creature in Himself, and to make you stronger in Him.
II Cor. 5:17, Eph. 6: 9 & 10, Phil. 4:13

You are now His Temple. I Cor. 3:16-17, I Cor. 6:19, II Cor. 6:16

You are now a Son or Daughter of God. II Cor. 6:18

You are now a Warrior of His. Jer. 51:20

Satan thought if he killed The Son of God,
he could eliminate a gigantic threat

to his kingdom, but all he did in killing the Lord Jesus,

was to plant a ‘Seed’ that spawned a whole generation
of ‘sons and daughters’ of God…

And remember, that God decreed that every ‘Seed’
would produce after its own kind. Gen. 1:11-12.

You, were given to do signs and wonders in Jesus Name. Isa. 8:18, Heb. 2:11-13.

You are Satan’s worse nightmare: A man or woman with The Father,

The Son, and the Holy Spirit inside…II Cor. 6:16, II Cor. 4:7, Eph. 2:4-10, Eph. 3:16-19
