Do you have what it take????

                             Ladies and Gentleman, this post that I'm going to be posting today is going to be one of those posted that challenges you to step up your spiritual walk with the Lord. and will hopeful will cause you to take our mission as Warriors For Christ to heart, because let me tell you the Message that the Lord Give me over the weekend at first may have seem to have direct at one person, Then the More i thought about it and ran it over and over in my mind, the more true mean came clear to me, That the message that at first may have seem only for that person,was also met for the Body Of Christ and The World  that time is running out.

                           Let me tell you when you first read this following line, it will seem to everyone one like something a football coach would tell his player when the game is on the line and time is running out, but the more you think about it and it will come clear to you the true mean of it, it took me about a day to figure it out, but once The Lord had make the the true mean of it know to me, I was like WOW that make that something i had to speak about  because if it cause one of my Friend to get his head out of his backside before it was to late with his Girlfriend, then it had to also be something that the Lord want me to tell you guy, get you guy and ladies fired up and those flames re lite under your feet's and you guys and ladie back out there on battle field burning new paths for the Lord.

                       Warriors we should feel blessed to be living in the time of the world that we do, I mean, yes our suffering for the Gospel of Christ (GOOD NEWS) is overwheming and for many of our Sister and Brother in Islamic Nation in the Middle East have given their very life for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I just hope we all here in American and other Western Nation can have that kind of Faith when it our turn to take the test, for as I will more then willing to give my life for the cause, Now before someone out there trys to take last statement out of context, I just want to make it clear as mud to all of those who would try, I wouldn't ever do anything that would bring shame to the body of christ, but if come to confessing Christ and dieing and Denying him and living, I am more them willing to give my life for the Lord,
                                    
                           Now I know I got off topic just a little there but i felt lead to include that last part, But here what the Lord spoke to me over the weekend and told me " IT GUT CHECK TIME SON YOUR ON FIVE YARD LINE AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT" and Let me just tell you that statement to me is wake up call to all Christian all across the world, 

                     If you know anything about the game of Football, you would know when once team that has the ball at the time get the football cross the 20 yard line of the other team side of the field, they enter part of the field that is called The RED ZONE!!! The closer the team drive toward the Goal the other side defense beefed up and it get really hard to break through their line to score a touchdown.

                   Now Warriors this where it very important for you to pay very close attention to what im talking about to say.. So if you need to please take notes, seen we are using a football field here, I'm going to continue on using it, it only make sence to, a football field is 100 yard from end zone to end zone, now, in the beginning of time if this was a game off football, we would have been start off our drive at our own one yard line, and if you know anything about football that not at good place to start your drive at, well over  time  before Christ the first time the world made it way up the field really slow, 


But then suddenly thing change in our favor, at the fifty yard Line The Messiah came to our aid and give us the strenght and forgiveness of our sin that we need to push on, and from that time on to now we have been driving ,push our way that much closer to the goal line,
But all sudden something happen when we cross the 20 yard line and enter "THE RED ZONE"  The enemy defense got heavyer and thicker, we had to fight for every inch of yard we gain, yes we had some set back but we never give up and we push on, Now brother and sister we find ourself on the FIVE YARD line and when we look up at the score board time is running out, the enemy defense have became ovewheming and our chance of cross the goal line may look hopeless.
                      But this is the point where Our coach the Holy Spirit and head Coach Jesus speak to each and everyone of our heart and say " IT GUT CHECK TIME SON OR DAUGHTER YOUR ON THE FIVE YARD LINE AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT"  

What each you to need be to ask yourself right now is DO I HAVE WHAT IT TAKE ? Do I have the faith and strength it will take push those final five yard to the end zone Well do you? You can talk the talk but can you walk the walk? Each of us have hard choice to make at this point in our walk with The Lord? 

Are we going to cross the goal line and finish the race or are we going to do throw in the towel and give up ? It question that each of us are going to have answer personally, I can't and I won't force you to do anything it up to you the world is counting on us Warriors , The souls of billions rest in your hands are you going to let them down! I personally already know my answer and I have my armor on and standing on the battle line with my sword draw ,so if your with me then throw on the full armor of God and Join me in making the finally push for brother and Sister. We are standing on the Five yard line and time is Running out
                                                               
                                                            (Ephesians 6:10-20 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. 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, 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. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 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 Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.                    

    It sure has change the way I look at witnessing to the lose, and how important it is that we Christians set our mind to doing the Lord work, and how important it really is for us continue to fight the good fight and finish the race billion of souls are counting on us!

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKE?
