It Is A War

Enlistment Into The Royal Combat Battalion

The primary purpose of the Church Age is the formation of

the Royal Family of God. Upon an act of personal faith in the

Lord Jesus Christ, each believer becomes a son who is brought

unto glory (Heb. 2:10). You may well ask, "Why, then, am I left

on earth after salvation?" The answer is that your transfer from

the kingdom of Satan to Kingdom of God is a spiritual transfer

and does not in any way imply an immediate PCS (permanent

 change

of station). Rather, upon your regeneration and consequent en--

listment in the Royal Combat Battalion, your life has taken on 

a special meaning. In the tactical disposition of His Royal Troops,

Divine Omniscience has allotted every believer a specified portion

of time and a place on earth where he can best serve his Lord.

Loud Voice

And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

[expired] Mark 15:37

Here "cried" is the aorist active participle of Aphiemi, again a

constantive aorist. Matthew used this same verb for the physical 

death of Christ, but Mark used it to emphasize His Breath control.

The constantive aorist describes the last breath of our Lord . Literally,

"And Jesus, having exhaled with a loud voice, expired (by His own

volition.) While Matthew portrays the loudness of the sound, Mark

indicates that Jesus exhaled these words and by an act of His own

volition did not inhale again, Mark demonstrates that when Jesus 

uttered His last words, He was fully conscious and lucid. Had Jesus

bled to death, He would have fainted; yet He was in perfect control

of all His faculties, a fact also established by John in his report:---

and he [Jesus] bowed his head..."(John 19:30). His head remained

erect until  He had finished His mission.

God forgave all our sins. He canceled the record

of the charges against us and took it away by

nailing it to the cross.

Doctrine of the Royal Family of God

Grace Apparatus For Perception

The divine provision for spiritual growth and advancement
whereby every  believer can understand every doctrine,
regardless of education or human IQ. Basically, this includes the
pastor-teacher for communication of doctrine, the local church as
the classroom for learning doctrine, the Holy Spirit as the Teacher
of doctrine, the human spirit of the believer for the storage of doctrine,
and the function of the right lobe for the assimilation and application
of  doctrine.
By R.B. Thieme,Jr

Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out
everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything
you do, everywhere you go; He's the one who will keep you on
track.
Proverbs 3:5--6

We Carry The Colors in To Battle

Our Lord's Dying Command To 

Follow The Colors

In order that we might understand our mission on earth, the

Lord Jesus Christ presented to the Royal Family of God its

regimental colors and issued the command to follow the colors

and to seize and hold the high ground of the super-grace life! 

While Bible doctrine forms our regimental colors, we can

advance only through the residency of doctrine in our souls.

This advance demands a positive attitude toward the Word and

a consistent function of the "grace apparatus for perception."

During the Incarnation, Jesus Christ Himself followed the colors

to the high ground, which culminated in the most dramatic and

significant event in history----- the Cross. From there, He passed

the colors on to us.

The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces 

wonderful results. 

James 5:16

The High Ground

Every Combatant

in the angelic conflict can draw limitless equipment from the divine

arsenal (Eph. 6:10-18)!

Every believer has the opportunity to achieve Tactical Victories in

his spiritual warfare! As we once exploit the strategic victory of the 

Cross by personal faith in the Son of God (Act 16:31), so we are now

exhorted to Follow The  Colors by a consistent intake of Bible doctrine.

By means of that same doctrine resident in our souls, we advance to the

High Ground Of Spiritual Maturity.

"I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give

is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid."

John 14:27

Victory In Christ

In The Angelic Conflict:

Jesus Christ won the STRATEGIC VICTORY by His substitutionary

death on the Cross, His burial, resurrection, ascension and session at

the right hand of  the throne of the Father. To Satan and his demons,

the bruising  of the Savior's heel (Gen. 3:15) signaled the inevitable

destruction of every fiendish plan since Eden (1 John 3:8) as well as 

their ultimate doom (Matt. 25:41). To the believer, the Cross meant a

share of the spoils of victory (1 Cor.15:57); Eph. 4:8). 

When Jesus Christ took our place on Calvary and was judged for the 

sins of the entire world (1 John 2:2), He provided not only eternal

 redemption for all mankind but also the most advantageous position

for defeating our greatest antagonists: the world (1 John 2:16), the

flesh (Gal. 5:16, 17) and the devil (1 Pet. 5:8).

Author R.B. Thieme, Jr

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great

to understand fully.

Eph. 3:19

The Unseen Mighty Foe

A Command

To follow the colors is issued to every believer by Jesus Christ, the

Supreme Commander of the heavenly host. The Church Age believer's

salvation and subsequent regeneration have enlisted him permanently

in the ranks of the Royal Combat Divisions of the Family of God.

Whether

he so desires or not, the Christian finds himself in enemy territory, in 

Cosmos Diabolicus (Satan's world system). He is in the world, but not 

of the world (John 15:18,19). He is locked in invisible but deadly com-

bat with an unseen, mighty foe-- the devil and his demonic army

(Eph. 6:12). This invisible warfare, which will terminate only at the 

end of time, is called the "angelic conflict."
