Rick Joyner: "The Warrior Nation--The New Church Leadership"
www.morningstarministries.org
Warriors Are the Next Church Leaders
"There are many soldiers, but not many warriors," a Special Forces officer once told me. There are many professional soldiers who may take their jobs very seriously and be very good at what they do, but when you meet a warrior, you know the difference.
Church leadership is about to be transferred from the hands of professionals, to the hands of true warriors, which the soldiers of the cross will all soon become.
Warriors run to the sound of battle, not away from it. Warriors thrive in the intensity of conflict and danger. They are not discouraged by opposition or trouble, but rather come alive when faced with them. Such will be the
constitution of the emerging generation of Christians. Those who think the emerging generation is soft, will be shocked at the warrior nation that will soon be revealed.
God Is A Warrior
God is a Warrior. He uses the title "Lord of Hosts" or "Lord of Armies" ten times more than all of His other titles. He is a martial God. Those who are going to reveal Him in these times, are going to begin to take on the demeanor and discipline of a warrior, because the emerging generation is being prepared to serve in the
greatest time of trouble the world has ever known. Even so, they will face those troubles with faith and confidence. They will earn the title "Overcomers" because they will never give way to opposition, troubles, or battles, but will fight to win like Joshua, who fought until the victory was total.
These emerging warrior Christians will have this same resolve because they will know who they are, Who has sent them, and the power of the Kingdom that they represent. Like King David's mighty men, their exploits will be noised abroad and strike fear into the hearts of the enemies of the King.
As this warrior generation emerges, it will impact and bring transformation to the body of Christ, which will be so profound, that churches will start being thought of more as military bases than congregations. Serious training and the sending out of spiritual forces for unprecedented strategic initiatives will become the order of the day.
It Is Time For War
As we are told in Ecclesiastes 3:8, there is "A time for war, and a time of peace." This is a time for war. It is no accident that one of the greatest worshipers in Scripture, King David, was also one of the greatest warriors. True worship and warfare go together. How can one be a true worshiper of God and not be provoked by the evil of our time, and stand for the truth by standing against the evil to set the captives free?
The warriors who are about to arise will be provoked to action by every evil stronghold that holds men in bondage, and they will begin to bring them down with their divinely powerful weapons.
As this radical change comes upon the church, and every true Christian becomes a fearless warrior for the truth of the gospel, the basis of the great character change that will come will begin with them living by the greatest code, of the greatest warriors the world has ever known--to die daily, to not live for themselves, but for the King, and to do all things for the sake of His gospel.
As the Lord said in Luke 9:23-24, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it."
This is the code of a true disciple, who is a true warrior. The world is about to witness what true disciples are like--the true salt and light of the world.
When we are already dead to this world, there is nothing the world can do to us, and we will fear nothing on this earth. Those who live without fear are the most free and powerful people on earth. There is nothing that strikes more fear into the camp of the enemy than such a people walking the earth again. They are already among us and will now begin to emerge. It is a generation unlike any that has walked the earth before. The Lord really has saved His best for last.
There can be no victory without a battle. The bigger the battle, the bigger the victory. There has been a very subtle mentality spreading over much of the church that Christians should not experience troubles, and if they do, they are not walking in faith. This is exactly contrary to the Scriptures, as both the Lord Jesus and the apostles explained the trials and tribulations that Christians are called to go through. There is a purpose for the trials, and there is victory that comes from facing them with faith and steadfastness. It was said of the ministry of the great Apostle Paul, that he went about "Strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, 'We must through many tribulations enter the Kingdom of God'" (Acts 14:22).
The generation that embraced the pseudo faith teachings that promoted a refusal to even acknowledge problems and troubles, became possibly the weakest generation of Christians in history. The meltdown of morality, integrity, and basic spiritual courage in the last generation, resembles something like a drug induced stupor more than biblical faith. However, this has begun to change, and the change will continue until the transformation is complete.
Shock Troops
There is a new breed of Christians that are going to emerge who are more militant than the world has seen since the first century. They are warriors/fighters who will live with the resolve not to surrender a single acre of ground to the enemies of the cross. The emerging generation is about to change forever the impression that Christians are wimps, fearful and cowering before the intimidating forces of this world. Because of this present impression of the nature of Christians, the first wave will create shock waves of both fear and wonder in the present powers that be. This will begin to awaken the rest of Christianity to its true nature and destiny, just as Gideon's breakthrough caused the rest of Israel to arise and take the spoil.
Clean Your Weapons
Soldiers know that a weapon which jams at the wrong time, can mean death to themselves and many others, so they spend much time cleaning and caring for their weapons. The Apostle Paul wrote about the divinely powerful weapons that we have been given. Few Christians understand these and fewer still have learned to use them. That is about to change. We are going to take the same kind of daily care for what we have been entrusted with, and be the finest, most trustworthy soldiers.
We must understand that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal weapons, but much more powerful. The divinely powerful and uncompromising weapons are spiritual--they are both love and truth.
Warriors Love Truth
Truth spoken under the anointing is the most powerful force on the earth.
Like a good soldier, we should be continually cleaning and caring for the precious truth we have been entrusted with. We must become the most skilled marksmen who can hit their targets right in the heart every time, without hesitation. Our weapons must never jam.
Nations will soon bow the knee to the irresistible power of the truth that is about to be proclaimed by an irresistible army. They will confront the greatest darkness of our time, and they will push it back. In all things, they will stand resolute and without compromise so that all evil will retreat before them.
This coming army will not be like the world's armies, which kill and destroy, pillage, and plunder their way through territory, but it will instead heal, restore, and set free those who are conquered by it. They will not come to take, but to give. The earth has never seen such an army as that which will soon be released upon the earth. The call is right now going forth all over the earth to all who would be a part of it.
This army will strike fear into all who are not a part of it, including many sleeping or deluded Christians. The world has never seen anything like this before. The spirit of Elijah, which was upon John the Baptist to prepare the way for the Lord the first time, is coming upon tens of thousands to prepare for His second coming. Just as all of Judea came out to see John, whole nations will come to hear and be baptized by those who are about to be revealed.

6/13/06 - [Guaranteed Prosperity (by "Mrs. Mynista")]
Written by Stephanie (Mrs. Mynista)
WWW.THIRTYONEONLINE.COM
--------------------------------
Psalm 1:1-3 is a powerful portion of scripture! I want to take a few minutes to go through these three verses and share what I've learned. First, let's read them:
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the unGODly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The Hebrew word for "blessed" in verse one means a state of prosperity resulting from a superior bestowing his favor (blessing) on one. This word is not to be taken lightly! The person that GOD is referring to in this scripture is a "champion" (the Hebrew meaning of "man" in verse one which tells us that GOD is not just talking to the male sex). So in the first four words of this passage, we know what we can become if we follow the instructions in the following verses: a champion who is in a constant state of prosperity because of GOD bestowing His blessing on them! And don’t be deceived into thinking that prosperity only relates to finances; prosperity means GOD's wholeness in every area of your life: relationally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally, financially, etc.
Let's move on to the second part of verse one. There are three requirements in this section that you need to adhere to if you want to be blessed. One, don't walk in the counsel of the unGODly. The word "walketh" here denotes behavior, and the word "counsel" means advice or plans. In other words, your behavior should not be dictated by the advice or recommendations of the unGODly! Two, don't stand in the way of sinners. The word "standeth" here means to remain stationary, and the word "way" means the activities that control a person, one's lifestyle; destiny. You never want to become stationary in a place with people whose lifestyle (and ultimately destiny) don't line up with the Word of GOD. And three, don't sit in the seat of the scornful. The word "sitteth" here means to dwell, remain, settle, marry, inhabit, and the word "seat" means the dwelling place or habitation. The word "scornful" means mocker. While you don't want to do either of the first two, you definitely don’t want to get caught living in the dwelling place of mockers!
We see the natural progression here from walking to standing to sitting, and this is just another reminder from GOD of how it is you can get caught up in sin. No one backslides overnight. A well-meaning husband or wife doesn't just fall into an affair. These things happen after a progression of events. If you're walking with the unGODly (anyone who is not going in the same direction as you are trying to go with GOD), then eventually you'll get tired and want to stop for a minute, and then you'll probably want to sit down and take a rest. Before you know it, you're somewhere that you never intended to be, and it was all because you started walking (behaving) in the same direction as the unGODly!
Verse one tells us what this blessed champion does not do, but in verses two and three, we find out what he does do. "His delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night." The word "delight" here means desire, and the word "law" means direction, teaching, and instruction. The word "day" simply means daily while the word "night" means the period of time in which it is dark; deep calamity without the comforting presence and guidance of GOD. Wow! We see that this person loves GOD's Word and His direction, teaching, and instruction, and they are pondering and studying His Word daily, even in the toughest of times. Even when they can't feel GOD or hear GOD, they are mature enough to trust that He is real, that He is faithful, and that He is constantly working on their behalf!
Verse three continues to describe who this person is. "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." A tree does not pop up overnight. It takes years and years for a tree to go from a simple seed to something that kids can climb on. During this growth process, the tree must form roots that go deep down into the ground. It's from these deep roots that the tree can then gain nourishment and stability. If the tree's roots are never allowed to go down then it will never be able to live. The champion described in these verses is someone who is staying in one spot long enough to put down their roots in GOD; they're not flaky and shallow. They recognize that every time they pray, every time they read GOD's Word, every time they go to church, they are allowing their roots (their livelihood and stability) to go down deeper and deeper into GOD. It is this person who will then have the ability to produce the right fruit in the right season, according to GOD's plan for their life. Whatever this person does is going to prosper! The word "prosper" here means success with GOD as the source. You will never truly be prosperous until GOD is the source of all that you do. If you do things your way, you'll get man's limited results, but when you do things GOD's way, you'll get His supernaturally successful results!
I love this passage because it encourages me that when I do what I know I should be doing in my walk with GOD then I can lean completely on Him for my success. I don't have to worry and try to make things happen for myself; when I am walking with GOD, my prosperity is guaranteed!
