Driving Division Through The Generations That Have Fashioned You

We have much to escape, much to shed, much to loose, much to famine from and much to walk without. Moreover, there is far more that we ought receive. It is made perfect in the Lord. And it is the Lord whose perfection is gifted freely unto those who so submit that they receive it.

There is but one way to sever the chains of bondage from that which you come from. You were born to an environment where no father nor mother may have existed. Perhaps it was an environment by which chaos devoured you lean and mean into futile rebellion even unto that which is good. For what is good?

Is it your friend beside you? Your wife? Your brother? Your neighbor? Be it your dog that returns even after you have wrongly kicked him in your deeply embedded rage of anger? Was it Mao Tse Tung or perhaps Benito Mussolini or even Adolf Hitler? Who is good?

Ought it be defined and declared that all men should agree? Ought your good be greater than mine? Perhaps your good just as good as mine? Yet when my good just isn’t good enough should I fashion is definition accordingly? And to you the same? Should in debate the definition be altered by mere perspective? Ought we pervert our utterances evermore that we tailor it to our quests for inequity? Are you willing to accept that there remain truth everlasting? What is good?

WHAT IS GOOD

• Matthew 19:17 – And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
• Mark 10:18 – And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
• Luke 18:19 – And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

Now let it be known what is good. Therefore there be no mistake nor nothing but a definitive proclamation of good. The definition of good is thereby defined and everlasting on its own accord. It is neither me nor you. It is Almighty God as Jesus so proclaimed.

Finally, from where have you arisen? Great disdain do I have for much of what I had to endure during my earliest years of childhood and youth. It was not great and certainly not the worse. But have I been shown any other way that I might know how to be a “good” man to raise a family of two boys or moreover be a deserving husband of such a great wife who takes great care of myself and our boys?

This woman, my wife, stands at my greatest honor and thanks to have gifted me such earnest prayer and persistence in the Lord. I cleave unto her my wife who stands to build me to my finest hour in the Lord. She stands resilient in her directives to deliver us from generations’ fate. Tired in her plight she drives on that our two boys may be delivered from our own woeful pasts. She builds me up even when undeserving of such gifts of grace. She is magnificent in her manners and sharp with her retort against wrong. Correction is fierce but even still loving and pure.

I am inspired and go nowhere without. We are one in the same. She prays fervently on my behalf and behalf of our family. At my greatest hour she awakens me to rise. She is a valiant warrior herself, faithful and steadfast for the Lord. Even before her I stand, yet she stands before me such a gift that by whom there is much gain.

Likewise at such low she raises me accordingly by way of earnest servitude to the Lord everlasting, fashioning herself tireless in righteousness for the sake of our family even at great measures.

I have learned many of the wrong ways by the manner at which I have arrived. As a man, as a husband and as a father I am merely lost upon my own accord. My practices are vaguely practical and even less loving than I might be of myself if I even knew love beyond which she has led me. I was left to my own right, left to my own way, left to my own flawed vision of what family ought to be. My wife has been the greatest of contenders on my behalf. Her pursuits were greater than my reliance upon self. She ushered me unto my redemption. She in her own graciously loving way was delivered me that I might be saved from my own peril and likewise the generations hereafter.

Now what damage has been done? The path from which we might flee might lead full circle in our haste and angst against our those who’ve delivered us unto this moment. Now what damage has been done?

The damage from mere words can draw down nations. Words ruin marriage and raise up armies against a people. How is it that the generations from which you come and which follow shall not equally be affected by the sins therein of the forefathers? Even you at work whose anger is awoken take it with you and lay it upon the threshold of your home. Ought not the same remain for generations of perpetual misery that is made feast on our families?

• Exodus 34:7 - Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty ; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation .
• Joel 2-3 – 2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?3 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

I urge you to release it.

As a man and warrior, the enemy is real and wears a face and yet likewise goes silent among you, unnoticed. He wears the face that our soldiers face in Afghanistan. He is shewn down by bullet or by hand. He wears a face in more common places and yet goes unnoticed and lives freely among you to toil in your way. Target acquisition. Engage. Eliminate.

Sever ties from the way of generations who have jettisoned you unto this moment and make new for you, your family and even still such a great country among us.

And take upon you “the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,” that you may drive the sword straight through that which you were and lead those generations who follow unto greatness greater than you yourself, as it is purposed deep within you, where reside the voice hereafter referenced. Heed.

• Ephesians 6:10-20 – 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places .13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

The Warrior Spirit & Art Of War Bound Within The Bible’s Deuteronomy 7

What good is a warrior without the weapon of discernment within his arsenal? What good is warrior without the ability to identify his adversary and his adversary’s threat unto him and his people? There is great reason why liberals are generally not considered warriors in the classic or even honorable sense of the term and even greater reason why a warrior ought adhere to virtues greater than himself. Likewise, the same goes for a nation.

What good is a soldier who serves first himself? Perhaps when engaged in battle his safety becomes first priority. He turns and runs. His comrade is left to face an overwhelming enemy alone. The comrade falls. The enemy pursues the self-serving soldier whose back is turned a running alone for the safety of his home far away. Halfway there to his safe haven falls the self-serving soldier by the hand of the enemy he left his fallen comrade to fight. And by the time the self-serving soldier receives his last breath, the family that awaits him is slain by that very same enemy that he and his comrade succumbed to.

The oath of enlistment is like that of your oath to Christ. You are stronger in serving that far greater than yourself. As for the fight, it remains the same, always based purely upon principalities, good versus evil. The logic is exact. And the strategy and its purpose is well documented.

Among the many verses my eyes traversed several nights ago was that found in Deuteronomy 7. After reviewing a Twitter post from local Apple Valley, California resident @WesCarver, who frequently delivers words of wisdom born of the Bible, I was reminded of a recent study in the Word, whereby I continually landed upon versus in support of the warrior spirit and a warrior’s strategy.

This Bible verse is for warriors, soldiers, Marines, sailors, leaders, presidents, liberals, conservatives and for all men of all nations. The enemy ought fear the Good Warrior for his divine deliverance and warrior serve something far greater than himself and moreover his country. For his countrymen and even his country my fail even by its own virtuous standards but the LORD remains always and forever true.

Therefore, albeit a warrior or a nation, to be tightly bound as a formidable force, I reference perhaps one of the greatest verses in the Bible.

Deuteronomy 7

¹When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

²And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:

³Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.

⁴For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

⁵But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

⁶For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

⁷The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

⁸But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

⁹Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

¹⁰And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

¹¹Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

¹²Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

¹³And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

¹⁴Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

¹⁵And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

¹⁶And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

¹⁷If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?

¹⁸Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;

¹⁹The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.

²⁰Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

²¹Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.

²²And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

²³But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.

²⁴And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

²⁵The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therin: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.

²⁶Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU: To Submit, Surrender And Sacrifice Is Not The Code Of A Coward But The Virtue Of An Honor Bound Warrior Whose Nation Lives And Whose Sould Is Eternal

It is wise that if Jesus speaks, one ought listen with the greatest intent and consideration. Even more so to that point when Jesus delivers the word verily, meaning assuredly, twice in succession, for the Lord is about to deliver an extraordinarily important truth by which one should heed with the greatest vigor.

And as with any word that comes direct from the tongue of Christ, it is not merely enough to marvel at such a magnificent revelation you are about to behold, but we are indeed called to make it the utmost quest to “observe all things whatsoever (he) have commanded you,” and in this sense, the word observe is by no means defined as an onlooker but indeed a command to obey. Of course here, we are referring to none other than The Great Commission, which is here referenced.

THE GREAT COMMISSION – Matthew 28:16-20

• ¹⁶Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
• ¹⁷And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
• ¹⁸And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
• ¹⁹Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
• ²⁰Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

So, as I scanned through the Bible as a boy and later a teenager, in an environment that was most certainly astray from Biblical principles, marveling but not yet grasping and even defying the concept of Christ’s church and even the great calling to observe, meaning to obey, I nevertheless realized what the great love and fulfillment the Lord was about to deliver a lonely warrior, as He segued into the words, “verily, verily.”

The following study arrives my way through the youth Bible studies I am engaged in through StudentLife.com. The key passage of scripture spans John 12:23-33, as seen below.

John 12:23-33 – http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John 12:23-33;&version=9;

• ²³And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
• ²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
• ²⁵He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
• ²⁶If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
• ²⁷Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
• ²⁸Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
• ²⁹The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
• ³⁰Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
• ³¹Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
• ³²And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
• ³³This he said, signifying what death he should die.

As you can well see, there is an enormous amount to consider here within the abundance of truth bound within these verses. The focus of my study pays particular attention to verses 24 and 25. I urge you to spend at least 15 minutes considering these two verses in great depth, for there is extraordinary glory held within its message, and with great consideration, you and yours may be exceedingly blessed with its extraordinary wisdom.

While it is evident by examining these verses that we are called to surrender in our sacrificial service to the Lord, this by no means subjects us to a life of passivism unto the world. Such teaching is completely false and predominant among us. Yet, to suggest so is completely foolish.

Furthermore, such a concept of Christ as a passivist is simply foolish and an utter assault on truth. Commonly, it is used against self-proclaimed followers of Christ who have not a rock solid foundation in study, consideration and obedience to His Word, for Christ was assuredly the ultimate warrior, the ultimate revolutionary, the ultimate tactician and the ultimate strategist. His word testifies to this truth and is denied by fools.

I despise such a concept Christ. And as a man, I despise such a defiling description of man.

No, we are indeed called to be warriors of great honor and courage. Surrendering to that which is greater in our sacrificial service to the Lord. And should you consider such an oath of sacrifice to be the endeavor of a passivist, look no further than one of the most readily sacrificial oaths one can take in the service of his or her country, the oath of enlistment to the United States Military.

Surely, such an oath for such an occupation, whereby you surrender your rights and comforts as a citizen, is by no means the actions of a passivist, as one might suggest submission to Christ The Lord be. It is not the act of a passivist. Yet it is indeed submission.

First, let us reflect back upon verses 24 and 25.

• ²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
• ²⁵He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Now, be not mistaken, The Word Of God is eternally applicable to our lives in either the micro or the macro, where it be in a place of worship or upon the battlefield. Truth holds no bounds, just as the light overcomes dark but yet dark does not overcome light. So, since we have made reference to warriors and more specifically the military, let’s take a look at the macro.

Great wars are won by the principles bound in the Bible. What use would an army be if it were fashioned from selfish men who thought only of their own well being, their own survival? Such an army of cowardly individuals would only be of use to its enemy, for the extent of each individual’s fight would never go beyond his own safety, security or even his meager comfort. And despite this cowardly quest for self preservation, the result would be a battlefield flowing with the blood of selfish cowards. Inevitably, the homeland from which those selfish cowards had come and attempted to frantically flee to would gush with the blood of its women and children.

This is the lesson of hesitation and inaction. This is the lesson of the coward. This is ultimately the lesson of disobedience. Consider.

Matthew 3:13-17 – http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew 3:13-17;&version=9;

• ¹³Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
• ¹⁴But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
• ¹⁵And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
• ¹⁶And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
• ¹⁷And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Understand, Jesus arrived before the waters of the Jordan that he be baptized by John. But John forbad him. Indeed in the instant of this act John was not obedient to the Lord. He focused not upon the Lord but instead upon his own inadequacies. Through the Lord all things great cometh. John focused not upon the Lord but upon his own idea of what was to transpire. He focused upon his own his own anticipation and not the Lord before him who spoke. He slipped ever so slightly in his focus and fell to disobedience by mere hesitation and submission to his own understanding and not first to the Lord. This is the lesson of obedience.

Costly wars are diverted from ever taking place by the principles bound in the Bible. When a warrior, through his wisdom, is called to act, he acts without hesitation and without regard to self. Only through such valiant and unwavering dedication can his comrades or even his nation be saved. Only through such dedication can he himself be saved. And so it goes for his soul before the Lord.

Now, consider the great paradox of God’s word, particularly by comparing the parallels bound in the virtues of surrender, submission, sacrifice and service to that which is right in the Lord. And dutifully study this last statement, which is mine, but not because it is mine, but because it is a warning of the utmost.

Anyhow, this evening as I was reading, cross referencing verses against keywords and concepts, analyzing and contemplating, I finally extended my studies beyond the confines of my King James Study Bible and BibleGateway.com and into the World Wide Web, here are some of the links and reference material I happened upon.

REVOLUTION: What The Bible Says About Civil Disobedience

A righteous warrior is an eagle with his eye upon the unjust. He is a hunter whose eyes are locked upon his prey with focus so intent that it pierces the very existence of his enemy like a sword. His enemy has lived a thousand deaths long before action is initiated. His heart emanates compassion for the oppressed. De Oppresso Liber is the purpose by which his heart pumps great vigor in the midst of overwhelming adversaries.

I am fashioned from my life experience. Although severely daunting at times and even in the depths of a destitute spirit, I have always adhered, to the best of my abilities, that these trials were nothing more than a field training exercise, preparation for a moment in history far greater myself, preparation for a purpose far greater than I myself can fathom.

Prior to any engagement, one must submit himself to that which is greatest, which is right. For the self is indeed the greatest cause for failure, the enemy its greatest benefactor.

With that, I have long considered the dynamics of obedience and even disobedience. And in this case, I speak with particular focus on the act of civil obedience and likewise civil war. I have performed much study on the subject and taken a great many notes. And even still, I have taken in and given great consideration to the principles therein. I have taken great moments to apply these principles to great moments in history and foreseen moments of the future.

So, without delving into the notes that are scattered throughout my life study, I will simply layout a few links to consider in your quest for civil war or unwavering submission to the unjust oppressor.
