Where are the soldiers?!

[Guest Blessed One]

My goodness.  When I first happened onto this board I was thrilled to find "I'm a Soldier" posted by Stephen C.  That spoke to the Warrior that God called me to be.  I saw a few "amens" and thought I'd call this home.

But, as I read through the various topics posted in this "Spiritual Warfare" room, I'm left wondering where are the soldiers?  No doubt, God is raising a hidden army of warriors but, surely, I thought, I'd find a few willing to boldly declare the victory of Christ.  Yes, I know there are going to be those posts seeking answers but where are those who are unapologetically declaring God's truth in response?  The devil is a liar, folks! Shall we expose him for the liar that he is or entertain his lies?  It's the lies of the enemy that's allowing him to take captives.  Shall we resist him, at the very least?  

Listen, I know that battles are won as we spend time in our prayer closets but, there is power in speaking out the word of God.  Truth exposes all lies.  We believe every word of God to be true and that's all that we can rely on as truth.  God's word needs to be spoken forth as we expose the lies in the fullness of the Light.

God's word tells us to test the spirits!  God's word says that we will know a tree by its fruit!  We should be actively testing spirits and examining fruit.  We know that the enemy will not allow a board like this to go forth without lies, deceit and those appearing as angels of light.

I'm a Soldier!  Are there any others who are willing to check in?  There's work to be done.

If I am on the wrong board, now's the time for me to find out.  ???

We're all called to warfare but, who's willing to say that they are walking in an anointing for warfare?  Is anyone walking in the gift of discernment of spirits?  Where are the Warriors?  Ok, how about those called and anointed to Intercessory Prayer?  Are you there? Anyone called and anointed in Deliverance?  Hello?

Stephen, God bless you!  You have the heart of a warrior, called and anointed to serve in God's special forces.

Blessings,

Tonia,

There are a lot of sincere Christians who post on this forum.

Blessings, Timothy.  

I praise God for each and every one.  It's not my intention to belittle anyone.  My intent is to shake the bushes, so to speak.  I'm am very interested in stirring up the gifts.  There are those who will be stirred and not offended.  Those are the ones that I'm seeking.

If this board is for fellowship and the subject matter happens to be spiritual warfare, then that's different than a "warfare board", for a lack of better phrase.  This is what I'm trying to identify.

I love and respect all members of the Body and lift every board that I attend in prayers.

Blessings,

Tonia

We have a spiritual warfare section.

I believe there is something to be said for being 'spiritually balanced'.

In Christ,

:il: I am so glad that you are here Blessed One!

I am a set free delivered born again child of the MOST HIGH!

I have been HEALED in my MIND, BODY and SPIRIT! Praise the LORD!  

People said Smith Wigglesworth was crazy too! He believed the Lord meant what He said and he proclaimed it with signs and wonders following...  

In HIM, Karen :il:

I believe what the Lord said as well Karen.

There are many cleverly disguised counterfeit signs and wonders in this world. Those which come from above are easily discerned by those who are led by the Holy Ghost.

Blessed One Do you think that one should post a reply to all issues when someone else has given a reply that you agree with?

Just because there is not 50 or 100 amens added to a thread does not mean that there are not 50 or 100 supporters of the sentiments delivered by the topic starter.

Time is very precious for the workers of the Messiah. We work where we are needed; we shine our light where there is darkness, we are here to give medicine to the sick we do not need to medicate the healthy. I hope to see your light on these boards so shine when you see darkness :il:

Blessings to you

Thank you Dr. for your comments.  Certainly we were told that in the latter days, many would wander from the truth, however, those who walk after the Spirit, abiding in God, remain in truth.  We stray as we begin to suppose that we are capable of doing the work of the Holy Spirit, leaning to our own wisdom to judge what is truth.  God's word is true and the mysteries therein are unlocked for the believer by the power of the Holy Spirit.  We are clearly instructed in word and by example in God's word. God is the same today as when He gave His Word.

Perhaps some may have felt that the works of Christ were flashy as He preached, healed, delivered, performing miracles in His day.  I don't really think that what others thought was a concern.  And, how the works of God being performed today appears to anyone is irrelevant.  Those concerns are fleshly.

Though my walk seems to me to be void of flash, I can be sure that it is in truth.  Not because I say so but because I abide in Him and He keeps me in truth.  I am blessed by conviction when I stray.  Praise God!  As for validating faith, God Himself provides the only validation needed.  What an AWESOME God we serve!

Blessings,

Tonia

Nope.  Lack of response wasn't my point.  There's a hunger and a passion, a fire, if you will, that I'm seeking in the bushes as I shake, shake, shake the limbs.

Too many folks come across these boards for me to think that all will respond.  Nah.  I'm new and am trying to see if I'm on the right board.  I have to watch out for toes as I dance online.  I suppose with this post, I shall find out quickly if the board's wearing dancing shoes and combat boots or if there's a great risk of stepping on, though blessed, tender toes.

Thanks for the blessings.  Back atcha  :il:
