God will give every one of us victory. Not because we have the power, not because there’s strength in us, or there’s great achievements in any of us, but because God wants to show His power through our weakness. Just like He accomplished a great victory with 300 against 120,000 so God wants to give us the victory now. He will do it no matter how weak we may feel we are. We are to blow the trumpet and let the light of Jesus shine from our earthen vessels and we will experience victory, just as assuredly as Gideon did!

There were many signs that occurred before the destruction of Jerusalem, showing that something awful was going to take place. One of the most interesting fulfillments of prophecy when you look at that historical event is that not one Christian perished in the city. Jesus had given His disciples warning and every one who listened to the warning was saved. This is a lesson for us who live in the time just before the battle of Armagheddon!

Though He desperately wants you on His side in this warfare, the choice to join God's army is left up to you. It is my hope that as we begin looking at what it means to be in the Lord's army that it will appeal to you and you will make the decision to fight on the side of right!

We each have a purpose in God's family. What is that purpose? To carry the Gospel to the world! How do we do that? That is the question to answer. I am going to begin this series of studies that will answer that question by what I hope is an encouragement for you. I am going to share with you what it means for me to be a Soldier for Christ in the hope that it will educate and inspire you to join the cause and fulfill the mission in carrying the Gospel to the world.

In part one we saw parallels between the war in heaven and the war between Absalom and his father, King David and I am hoping that you will be able to see that these are also parallels of what is going to happen between the professed church and the true church before the end of the great controversy.

In this study, we are going to look at, in miniature, the great controversy between Christ and Satan. The story of the great controversy has been told to us on a human level in miniature in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. As we study this I hope that you will see the parallels in the examples that have been written down for us who live here near the second coming of Jesus. These parallels are to teach us a lesson and prepare us for what is coming so we may be found faithful. I praise God for this!

When Jesus came to Israel they not only failed to recognize Him, they actually rejected Him. If we are not careful friends, we may just reject Him as they did! Lucifer rebelled because he wanted to be the Chief cornerstone and his kingly power attitude prevails in too much of Christiandom. This attitude creeps into church organization and if not checked, it will choke it to death. It happened to Israel as they rejected the Messiah. Let us learn and not repeat their mistake.

My friends, we are coming to a point in history where we must press together and organize together as God's church according to God’s plan if we want to finish the work of preparing to meet Jesus as faithful souls. Are we going to do it? I hope so beloved, I truly hope so.

I see the sun rise and set every day like clockwork and this doesn’t happen by accident. Season after season and year after year, we are all witnesses to this order in the heavens. Order does not miraculously appear out of chaos! There has to be a power that sets things in order and keeps them there. The Bible tells me that there is a power, a grand designer that created order and keeps order. If there are laws in nature there has to be a lawgiver!

In the very beginning of creation God ordained man to bring honor and glory to Him! God set man apart for a specific Divine purpose and that is still its purpose today. The ceremony of laying on of hands in ordination is a public recognition of a divine appointment.
