November 2007 'A Warrior's Daily Journal'

 

Thursday November 1, 2007       "The Lord's War-Cry!"
Isaiah 8:9-10 (New International Version)
Raise the war cry, you nations, and be shattered!
Listen, all you distant lands.
Prepare for battle, and be shattered!
Prepare for battle, and be shattered!
The Lord declares to the nations of the earth, that HIS children are mighty warriors, a prepared and standing 'Army' ready for 'War' under HIS sovereign command.

 

Friday November 2, 2007       "Served by Love!"
John 13:14-16 (Amplified Bible)
(Jesus speaking)
If I then, your Lord and Teacher (Master), have washed your feet, you ought [it is your duty, you are under obligation,
you owe it] to wash one another's feet.
For I have given you this as an example, so that you should do [in your turn] what I have done to you.
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, A servant is not greater than his master,
and no one who is sent is superior to the one who sent him.
The WORDs of Christ are quite clear as to what those who Believe and follow after HIM are obligated to do as a duty to HIM and to one another.

 

Monday November 5, 2007       "HEaled in HIS WORD!"
Luke 17:16-19 (Amplified Bible)
And he fell prostrate at Jesus' feet, thanking Him [over and over]. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked,
Were not [all] ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was there no one found to return and to recognize and give thanks and praise to God except this alien?
And He said to him,
Get up and go on your way. Your faith (your trust and confidence that spring from your belief in God) has restored you to health.
I must realize why Christ Jesus mentions the other nine who were also healed, going away fully restored, yet they did not return Praising and Thanking God for their miraculous healing as did the one.

 

Tuesday November 6, 2007       "INduction!"
2 Corinthians 7:10 (Amplified Bible)
For godly grief and the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret; but worldly grief (the hopeless sorrow that is characteristic of the pagan world) is deadly [breeding and ending in death].
Remaining Faithful to Proclaim God's Kingdom, my heart is quickened by Holy Spirit, having gained an understanding of HIS WORD and why a Repentent heart changes the eternal destination of the soul.

 

Wednesday November 7, 2007       "A New 'Soul' Suit!"
2 Corinthians 5:2 (Amplified Bible)
Here indeed, in this [present abode, body], we sigh and groan inwardly, because we yearn to be clothed over [we yearn to put on our celestial body like a garment, to be fitted out] with our heavenly dwelling,
Found in God's WORD are HIS promises that this corruptible 'Soul Suit' will one day be exchanged for those INCORRUPTIBLE 'Robes of Righteousness'.

 

Thursday November 8, 2007       "Glory in tHIS House!"
Haggai 2:9 (Amplified Bible)
The latter glory of this house [with its successor, to which Jesus came] shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts; and in this place will I give peace and prosperity, says the Lord of hosts.
The Glorious Presence of God descended into the tabernacle's Holy of Holies and was described by the Old Testament Prophets as the former Glory, a portrayal of things to come, and I must view this as this latter inward dwelling of Holy Spirit as the Lord speaks of.

 

Friday November 9, 2007       "Those who Believe!"
Mark 16:15-18 (Amplified Bible)
And He said to them,......
He who believes [who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] and is baptized will be saved [from the penalty of eternal death]; but he who does not believe [who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] will be condemned......
These WORDs of Jesus which the Apostle Mark records are quite clear and concise as to what Believers WILL be able to accomplish.

 

Monday November 12, 2007       "Book Review!"
1 Thessalonians 2:13-14 (Amplified Bible)
And we also [especially] thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it].......
The Apostle Paul shares his Joy when he writes to the Believers in Christ living in Thessalonica, leaving for me a record of how they have become both imitators of Christ Jesus and of the church for which HE gave HIS life as a ransom.

 

Tuesday November 13, 2007       "Possess HIS Anointing!"
Philippians 3:9-10 (Amplified Bible)
And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law's demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One),.......
In this letter to the Believers in the Phillipian church, the Lord speaks WORDs of Encouragement through the Apostle Paul, reminding them of the transforming WORK of Holy Spirit, ongoing in his own life as well as theirs.

 

Wednesday November 14, 2007       "Forerunners and Overcomers!"
John 5:36 (Amplified Bible)
(Jesus speaking)
But I have as My witness something greater (weightier, higher, better) than that of John; for the works that the Father has appointed Me to accomplish and finish, the very same works that I am now doing, are a witness and proof that the Father has sent Me.
These WORDs of Christ must also be spoken with Passion and Purpose, within my heart and soul as a Believer, that I am Obedient and Faithful to the appointment which God has called me to accomplish and finish.

 

Thursday November 15, 2007       "Perfect Vision yet Blind!"
Romans 1:19-21 (Amplified Bible)
For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness, because God [Himself] has shown it to them. For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible.......
Certainly the Apostle Paul was a rather well educated man, yet it was not this great learning by which he had come to see and understood God's Truth, for as he later writes to the Corinthian church,

 

Friday November 16, 2007       "Lamp OIL!"
Matthew 25:4 (Amplified Bible)
(Jesus speaking)
But the wise took flasks of oil along with them [also] with their lamps.
These WORDs of Christ which are recorded by the Apostle Matthew, verify the importance of 2 things for me as a Believer, that I am to 'GO' out into the world with the Lamp of HIS WORD, and I must also carry with me the Oil of HIS Spirit, the 'ONE TRUE SOURCE' of fuel necessary for 'Releasing the Light of the Gospel'!

 

Monday November 19, 2007       "A Letter to Home!"
Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle 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.......
Dear Loved Ones,
I have something important to tell you, and I know how happy you will be when you read this.

 

Tuesday November 20, 2007       "A Brigade of Raiders!"
Ephesians 6:10-12 (NIV)
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle 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.
God's WORD says that Christ Jesus descended into the lower depths(of hell), where HE 'Raided and Pillaged' throughout the kingdom of darkness, a 'Hell Raider' in every sense and meaning of the WORD...

 

Wednesday November 21, 2007       "Protective Covering!"
Ephesians 6:13-14 (NIV)
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
Defining the 'FULL Armor of God', as the Apostle Paul does in these verses, there are certain pieces of my 'SUIT of Warfare' that are very important, one being the 'Belt of Truth'.

 

Monday November 26, 2007       "Prepping HIS Army!"
Ephesians 6:15-16 (NIV)
...and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
As I continue to look at what the Apostle Paul outlines as my 'Spiritual Armor', what I must 'Put on' in readiness for each day's journey, I see that my 'Provisions' have been supplied by God.

 

Tuesday November 27, 2007       "Guardian of Truth!"
Ephesians 6:17-18 (NIV)
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
By gaining an ever increasing knowledge of God and HIS WORD, this in itself prepares a Believer for the 'Sentry Position', a designation which requires strict Obedience.

 

Wednesday November 28, 2007       "Discerning Spiritual Prayer!"
Ephesians 6:18-20 (NIV)
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.....
The Apostle Paul clearly illustrates to all who read this letter to the Believers in Ephesus, of his passion and committment to the advancement of the Gospel of Christ.

 

Thursday November 29, 2007       "Occupation and Restoration!"
Isaiah 55:11 (Amplified Bible)
So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
'Campaign', just the mentioning of this word brings forth an 'Image' of someone who desires to 'Occupy' or possess a place or position once held by another.

 

Friday November 30, 2007       "Declare HIS Kingdom Provision!"
Isaiah 37:20 (Amplified Bible)
Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know (understand and realize) that You are the Lord, even You only.
The Prophet Isaiah desired of the Lord something much greater than honor or wealth, he asked the Lord with earnest, that all kingdoms and nations of the earth would recognize who HE is, and submit to HIS Sovereign Authority.
