A Warrior

1 Timothy 6:12 "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."

The devil does not have the right or the power to steal or destroy your spiritual freedom. A true warrior of the faith starts learning to use the following tools to see their way clear of unseen self-compromise, in whatever form it make take.

- A warrior knows the greatest conflict he has to battle begins within himself. Therefore, he never postpones that battle, but seeks to end any internal strife through prayer and faith.

- A warrior always remembers that the enemy never forgets his weaknesses, but also that in them God is at His strongest.

- A warrior renews his/her life over and over again through daily submission to God and His will.

- A warrior works every day and every moment to sharpen his battle skills in the faith through the Word of God.

- A warrior leads by example and is unafraid to make an example of himself no matter what the cost.

- A warrior makes it his aim to never allow his brethren to bear more than they are able, but to help them fight their battle as well.

- A warrior is never afraid to go into territory he has never been before because God is with him.

- A warrior commits himself to God's will and realizes that to not live it is the refusal of responsibility.

- A warrior never fears feelings of helplessness, because he recognizes he is empowered from above.

- A warrior knows that the path of spiritual liberation he has chosen will lead him to one encounter after another with conditions that always seem greater than he is-but he knows that greater is He within him than he that is in the world.
