COMBAT - DO WE HAVE A CHOICE!
August 9, 1996

When a person is born on this earth, he or she becomes automatically a citizen of the kingdom of Satan. Psalm 51:5; Genesis 8:21; Job 14:1-4; 25:4; John 3:8

This truth is against all humanistic teaching, but it is the truth. Mankind belongs to a fallen race, and each child is contaminated with the disease of sin from the moment of conception. Romans 3:10-23

No wonder Jesus taught that a man must be born again in order to enter the kingdom of God. John 3:1-8

This new birth is a supernatural event, which imparts the righteousness of God into a person and gives him a new nature. John 1:12-13; Romans 3:24-28; I Peter l:23

TRANSFERRED TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD
When a person is born again (saved) God supernaturally moves him from the kingdom of Satan to the kingdom of God. Col. 1:10-14; Eph.2:1-3; Hebrews 2:14-16;I Peter 2:9

Since Satan has declared war on the kingdom of God, THE BRAND-NEW BELIEVER IN CHRIST IS THRUST INTO A WAR AT ONCE, REGARDLESS IF HE IS READY OR NOT! Rev. 12:12-17

The born again believer in Christ does not have a choice!

HE IS THRUST INTO COMBAT. REGARDLESS WHETHER  HE IS READY OR NOT!  Ephesians 6:10-13

THE ARMY OF GOD HAS A BOOT CAMP READY FOR EACH NEW RECRUIT
Ephesians 4:11-16

Spiritual weapons are given to each Christian soldier: 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5

Spiritual gifts are given to each Christian soldier, once he has been baptized in the HOLY SPIRIT! I Cor.12:1-11

And the greatest gift of all, EACH BELIEVER IN CHRIST HAS BEEN GIVEN THE MIND OF CHRIST! 1 Corinthians 2:12-18

As a Christian soldier, you can either fight and be victorious, or sit the war out in a prisoner of war camp run by the Devil, which is the most miserable place to be. 2 Timothy 3:1-7

Defeat, rejection, depression, hopelessness, despair, death, suicide, infirmities, are just a few of the soldiers (demons) of Satan, who are guarding his captives. If you are a POW, break out today, Jesus is waiting for you! Luke 4:18-21
