Children of The Kingdom Battle Training – Sarah

Given: 11-9-23 7am

Rhema:

My children of My Kingdom… were meant to walk according to My Spirit on the earth not just when they get to Heaven. My children, and those who want to be My children – you must obey what I said through My Son. You must die to self, I will help You. You must accept the costs of dying to self – the children of the devil will jeer at you and irritate you and spew hate and strifes toward you. Children of the devil only know how to curse My children. You used to curse My children when you were not in Me. So don’t condemn those who are still in chains of the enemy because of the false doctrines spouted by hirelings. Pray for those bound in self worship and sin and love for their life. Many will wake up soon and need My children to lead them into TRUTH: My Word is Truth that sanctifies.

Words of men do not sanctify you.

Ask Me to give you My armor for battle. These are not just words to repeat, but actions My children must take.

Your enemy is not people. The enemy works through people. Yes, even through those who know and follow Me if they rely on the flesh again, the flesh that you pledge when you accept My gift of salvation to die to. You can’t serve 2. Baptism is not just a symbol. I take all VOWS seriously. You VOWED to Me that you will DIE to your old carnal self. Any self that you resuscitate will be used by the enemy to attack you or cause your foot to slip.

No soldier runs into battle without a helmet.

No soldier runs into battle with only a helmet.

Have you accepted My salvation not according to what any person has told you, but by Jeremiah 33:3, 29:11-14?  When you seek Me, you will learn to hear My Voice.

Children of The Kingdom live for Me, they have died to what they want their earth life to be like and they ask Me to work through them to draw others to My salvation. My children have passed from death to life. My children do not judge others or hold bitterness against those who are still children of the devil. Understand that I use children of the devil to strengthen my saints. Without resistance, how will you learn to be strong in Me?

When the enemy comes in like a flood:

Children of The Kingdom take captive their thoughts and feelings. Your carnal feelings ARE NOT My fruit of My Holy Spirit. Carnal feelings are on the flesh level and Satan wins in the flesh realm. It is why I have told you to die to self. Any “self” that is still kept alive by you WILL BE USED by your enemy to try to trip you up. You must use the lessons to close all doors to the enemy, your self MUST be dead or else you will want to defend it. Don’t defend what is supposed to be dead. If you want Me to live in you and sup with you, you must show that you love Me by obeying Me. I said die to self and the life you want here on earth. My purpose for you is so much greater. Ask Me to make you into what I had in mind when I on purpose knitted you in your mother’s womb.

Feelings: YES satan and demons can use feelings of ANYONE who has not died to their flesh. I rebuked satan when he was using Peter to try to work on My emotions regarding not going to the cross. Satan tried to tempt Me by twisting My Word, then he tried to use one of My closest friends on the earth to trip Me up. Yes, the enemy will use ALL FLESH that is not dead. He wants your souls in hell with him that much. Be aware of his tactics. He is not creative, he only uses the same sins to trip up even the elect. He uses miracles and his ministers look like even your pastor or doctor or child’s teacher. Tares are all around you. Do not be surprised. Read My Word. How did David handle things when Satan attacked him by bringing armies against him? (Psalms)

Here’s how My children can defeat the enemy every moment: do your feelings from your old man (before you became a new creature filled with My Spirit) cause you to want to revive your SELF? Maybe a person does something to hurt you – immediately Satan comes to work on your feelings and thoughts. If you do not FIGHT BACK with My Word, you will fall into temptation to AGREE in your HEART AND MOUTH with your carnal feelings and thoughts…if you do not submit to My Word and Will, if you do not take captive these thoughts and feelings and MAKE THEM submit to WORD (The Only Truth)… then the enemy gains a foothold. Then you fight unforgiveness (with which you cannot be forgiven) and bitterness, and self defense and self entitlements… how is self an issue at all with My children WHEN MY CHILDREN DIE TO SELF SO I LIVE IN THEM TO DEFEAT S’s works. This is Why I am here with you… in Me, all that is you will defeat the enemy. If you try to defeat him in/with your flesh and not WORD, you will perish with the unbelievers. If you don’t believe that My Word is ALL you need to defeat the enemy, you are not acting in knowledge. You must have My wisdom, understanding, discernment…know My will. Where have I recorded My will? In My Living Word.

Here is how my warrior children war:

Helmet of salvation: you must be born again and your righteousness must be more than that of the Pharisees. Those who die to self, understand that the trials that come to you because you deny yourself (the world is narcissistic and loves to step on the meek, but I AM El Roi, nothing escapes My eyes and ears), take up your cross (you WILL be hated, even by those closest to you…I had a Judas too…the enemy works hard through self-worshipping people to try to trip you up, in Me, your foot will not slip but on your own, you will slip. You must be in Me. My Word is to be on your heart and mind and mouth. Plant My Word all around you and know it.) My children gain understanding FROM ME by seeking Me to explain My Word to them. Carnal cannot understand. The world cannot receive My Spirit.

Breastplate of Righteousness: In Me (meaning you have obeyed how to love Me… die to self, take up your cross, follow Me – I AM your strength; make disciples and teach them to obey Me. Obedience to My Word (not any HUMAN’s – who can be influenced by demons if they love their flesh self) is essential if you want My breastplate and My righteousness. None of your works equal My righteousness. If you do not hate what I hate, you cannot have My Rightousness.

Belt of Truth. I AM TRUTH. No human thought is. No carnal feeling is. No human words apart from Me in them are. Word. Why does your still-alive-flesh resist My WORD? You do not see the warring demons all around you… distraction, irritation, busyness…. To keep you walking according to your flesh and not according to Word and My Spirit.

YOU WERE CREATED TO WALK ACCORDING TO MY SPIRIT. SET YOUR MIND ON WORD.

If you do not SET YOUR MIND on TRUTH, you will be deceived in your flesh. Without understanding, my people perish. Overcomers do so with My Blood and My Testimony. I tell you HOW, you have to decide if you really do believe Me or not. Those who really do believe Me will not hesitate to do what I say. A soldier is no good if they do not immediately obey their commander. Lives/souls are at stake.

Feet shod with readiness to give My gospel of peace: When Word abides in your mind and heart and tongue and actions… those held captive to demons will ask you for the reason of the hope that is in you. I will speak My Word through you. But you must be planted in WORD like a tree plants its roots by a river. Salvation is My work, will you go where I send you? The fields are white for harvest. Whom shall I send? Will I find faith on the earth? Apart from Me you can do nothing, with man it is not possible but with Me… I created all that there is. I have no limits.

Shield of faith… I give you a measure of faith, I test it and grow it. I use what the enemy means to harm you with to teach you how to fight him. If he wounds or tempts you in something, learn My Word. Believe My Word will defeat the foe. Faith grows as you gain testimony when Word defeats the enemy and how he meant to harm and kill you. He only wants to steal, kill, destroy, lie, accuse… and yet he will be bound one day. He is already defeated but My children must learn to walk in My Word. Remember, do not rejoice that in Me, you have power over the enemy, just walk as little children trusting Me, and rejoice that Your Name is written in My Book of Life. I do not delight in the death of the wicked…I said not to murder. You must learn My ways of My Spirit…  they are not carnal. All your carnality will only keep you from Me, and the enemy will use your carnality…ANY bit of this world that you love will be attacked by the ruler of this world. It is why you must let go, it is why My commands are given to you…so that you will LIVE AND NOT DIE. I know the enemy more than you do. You must believe My Word, I do not lie to you. Obedience is crucial because without Me and My Word, you WILL DIE.

Sword of My Spirit: Word: TRUTH…Jesus Christ…apart from Me you can do nothing. My disciples obey My Father’s Words. My children give up all for Me because in faith (not seeing with the eyes) they choose to believe My Word over the worlds words and ways and other humans’ words and ways. My Word is good for teaching, reproof (help each other in My Love, with My fruit and Word help turn those whose feet are slipping) exhortation… help each other to focus on Word, to grow, to get up after they fall to find mercy in you and lead them to Me. My mercy and lovingkindness know no bounds. But you must wrap Truth and Mercy around your neck.

Seek Me now, I will teach all who humble seek Me!!!!!!! I will train your fingers for war. My children, let Me show you what I meant you to be when I created you!

Confess Me and My Word before men, and I will confess you before My Father!

The Lord wanted me to share the following:

First you must be a COTK. (Child of The Kingdom – a child of The Living God)

John 18:36

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Matthew 13:38

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

How do I become a COTK?

Luke 9:23-24 – And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Galatians 2:20 – I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Romans 8:7-8 – Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Galatians 5:22-23 – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,   (Read More…)

Luke 14:26 – If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

1 Corinthians 3:16 – Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 2:2 – For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Matthew 10:37-38 – He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

John Chapters 14-17

John 14: 5-27

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

25These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

26But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Promises:

3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Capture thoughts, submit to God, the enemy flees… Word is Sword

Word is Truth that sanctifies (Jesus’ Blood we overcome with)

Testimony: we overcome thoughts and feelings of the old man, carnal self with WORD… The SWORD and SHIELD defeat the enemy… Word does the work, COTK’s set their minds… SET their minds on WORD which keeps us from sinning

Take captive, renew, transform… new creature when Holy Spirit (Father and Jesus make their abode in you, you sup with Them) set your love upon God…love Him with all that is you… get the soul He gave to you back to Him, ask Him to teach you to love other humans with His love

Set Mind, Walk according to Holy Spirit – WORD is the lamp unto your feet

Give your ways to God and He will order your steps…according to His will for us

God protects us under His wing, Jesus already won the victory, the demons tremble before The Living God yet they attack COTK’s as though they have power over The King’s children.

Example: a person near you may cause you to feel irritated. God uses what is meant to harm us for good: see that the enemy is poking at “self” in you that you still keep alive. COTK’s are dead in Christ, self must die. If someone irritates you it is because the flesh believes it has ‘rights’. We do not war in the flesh. Therefore the enemy plants feelings of self protection and pride… how can they irritate me so? Only because you are trying to keep the dead carnal self alive. Stop trying to revive what is supposed to be dead. If self is not dead, you are not obeying Your Lord, and He will not dwell with any ounce of pride – pride is from the enemy. Open Word and learn ask Abba to help you LOVE with Holy Spirit fruit – to return genuine blessings and kindness for insults. A gentle answer turns away wrath. Be angry but do not sin.

Feelings show if we still desire to exalt self. Only when self is dead and we obey Word despite the costs of dying to life here, dying to self promotion here (where selfish ambition and jealousies are: every evil is there…this is agreeing with evil, if you agree with evil for the preservation of your flesh and self – evil has already won you.

James 3

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

NKJV James 3:14-16

14 But if you have bitter envy and [h]self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

We serve The Lord, and we serve those He puts in our lives, even those who are not COTK’s… do all as unto The Lord, even in the midst of froward ppl, when people are difficult, Children of The Kingdom press in with Love, gentleness, patience, peace, all fruit of Holy Spirit against which the enemy HAS NO POWER!

Eph 6: 5-8

5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

1 Peter 2

18Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

When self is dead in Christ, COTK’s are truly free. The enemy can only wound a soldier when there is a weakness or opening for him to gain a foothold. S cannot win against the Fruit of Holy Spirit which will grow as we abide in WORD (Jesus), obey WORD (submit our carnal worldly understanding and gain God’s wisdom and understanding) which means we LOVE God. We can say we love God but He isn’t looking for lip service. It is your heart that He wants. This is the trade: buy from Jesus – give Him all that is you…ask Him to cleanse you of self and sin, ask Him to renew a right spirit in you, ask Him to make His abode in You and teach you how to walk according to His Spirit.
