Obey the Commander!


Jesus answered, "My kingdom doesn't belong to this world. If it did, my followers would have fought to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. No, my kingdom doesn't belong to this world."  "So you are a king," Pilate replied. "You are saying that I am a king," Jesus told him. "I was born into this world to tell about the truth. And everyone who belongs to the truth knows my voice."

John 18:36-37

Mercinary soldiers involve themselves in battles for their own personal gain.  They fight because they will be paid for their effort.  They have no vested interest in the war!

If you are a follower of Jesus you are a soldier in a war that has been going on since the days of the Garden of Eden. And you have everything invested in the cosmic battle.  It is crucial that you bring the right weapons to the battle.  If you use the weapons of this world to fight, you will surely be defeated by the powers of Satan who is stronger than any human effort.

But if you use the weapons of war crafted by the Mind of God you can defeat any enemy including Satan himself!  

As a soldier for Jesus your job is to listen to His commands and obey every one of them.  Then you will be more than successful because Jesus has everything it takes to defeat Satan!  In fact, Jesus already defeated the Devil when He died on the Cross!  


Let the Word of God, which is the Sword of the Spirit fill your heart and mind as you hold it firmly in your hand for today’s battle!
