Basic Training

The Lord has called each of His children into basic training for there are many fundamental truths we must learn. He must teach us to learn to walk safely in His kingdom. In His wisdom, God will allow obstacles to cross our paths in order to instruct us so that we will continue to grow in the things of His Spirit.
As we grow, our training becomes more intense so that we can learn the tactics of the enemy. The true soldier of the Lord is disciplined and knows how to obey orders. He will stand in battle one day not only fighting for himself, but for many around him. In submitting to the training of God’s hand, we will become strong and know the ways of the Chief Commander. This spiritual war is like no other war and we must be willing to not only go through boot camp but to continue on through many levels of training so that in the end we can be fit to function in God’s kingdom.
