Just as King David required his men to be entirely sold out before he claimed them as his own, our Savior demands our total allegiance to Him”
- 1 Chronicles 12:18 -
We are called to become soldiers in the special forces of Yahshua our Commander-in-Chief— Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against … the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12) We die fighting in the Spirit, on the front line of battle for our King’s advancing kingdom. Do we want a desk job in His kingdom when He has called us to be a soldier in His army? King David, a mighty man of war and valor, did not fight alone. He surrounded himself with an elite, fiercely loyal army known as 'The Mighty Men.' When warriors came to join his ranks, David asked them plainly: 'Are you with me? If you have come to help me, my heart will be united with you.' They responded: 'We are yours... We are with you...'. This commitment established long ago perfectly mirrors the devotion our Savior asks of us today. Yahshua, the Son of David demands to know: Are you truly with Him? Or are you a self-deceived coward who will continue to try and save your earthly life, because you love this world more than loyal obedience to His word? Just as King David required his men to be entirely sold out before he claimed them as his own, our Savior demands our total allegiance to Him. Yahshua’s battalions consist only of warriors. He asks: 'Are you a warrior? Will you lay down your life for Me, just as I gave Mine for you? Will you march into battle knowing your earthly life is on the altar as a living sacrifice?' His word stands true, “If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.” (2 Timothy 2:12) These are the absolute terms of His heavenward call. We must choose to be part of the small, courageous remnant marching in Yahshua’s battalions.
The supernaturally “born again” “new creations” go outside the camp to suffer reproach with Yahshua (Jesus).”
- John 3:3, 2Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 13:13 -
The era of the gentle Lamb is over; it is now the reign of Yahshua, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The One who is Faithful and True, with eyes like a flame of fire. From His mouth will come a sharp sword, which is His word, to strike down the nations. He will defeat His enemies, crushing all evil and rebellion, and will rule them with a rod of iron.” (Revelation 19:11-15) Yahshua—the Son of David, the Son of Man, the Son of Yahveh, has an army of valiant, courageous, fearless and faithful people who are totally, without compromise all in and loyal to Him. They are truly sold out, and love Yahshua above all else and more than life itself. (See Matthew 10:37,39) They heed His voice at any cost, “fighting the good fight of faith”, obeying and believing every word He has spoken. (1 Timothy 6:12, Luke 11:28) They are supernaturally “born again” “new creations” that have gone outside the camp to suffer reproach with Yahshua (Jesus). (John 3:3, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 13:13) They are not living for the world and their flesh, they have forsaken everything to follow their commander-in-chief. (Matthew 19:27) They live in the Spirit outside of the camp with Him. (1 Peter 1:4) No soldier enlists in Yahshua's battalions until they have died to their flesh and the world, and death has lost its sting. (2 Timothy 2:3-4, Galatians 2:20, 1 Corinthians 15:55-57) They don't try to save their lives because they have already laid them down (John 12:25). Having surrendered everything to Him, they can truly say, “I have been crucified with Messiah and I no longer live, but Messiah lives in me. The life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me!” (Galatians 2:20)
Those of you who have died to it all, obediently follow Yahshua (Jesus) wherever He leads you. (Colossians 3:3, Luke 9:23) You have been in battle, fighting against your flesh, against your sin, against the world’s pulls and temptations. You have been bearing up under the pressure of all kinds of trials and tribulations knowing that nothing matters except being faithful to the One who gave His life to redeem you. He is worthy of your deepest adoration and your love compels you to exalt His name with unending praise, honor, and glory. You do not have any fear, because it is Yahveh, Yahshua, and the Holy Spirit who is leading you in triumph! (2 Corinthians 2:14)
We must follow our Commander-in-Chief into battle against our three relentless enemies: our own flesh, the world, and the devil”
Clinging to your earthly life is actually a form of cowardice. You cannot enter the Kingdom without yielding your heart’s selfish desires. To truly walk with Yahshua, we must sacrifice everything and place our lives entirely in His hands. Belonging to Him requires putting Him first in all things. It means being born again—turning away from our old nature and embracing a new life transformed by His grace. For it is written, “The one who believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (John 3:36) Know with absolute certainty: how you deal with your flesh determines your eternal destiny. We must be strong in Yahveh and the power of His might. We must follow our Commander-in-Chief into battle against our three relentless enemies: our own flesh, the world, and the devil. “For if we live according to the flesh we will die; but if by the Spirit we put to death the deeds of the body, we will live. (Romans 8:13) This is our victory shout: continually putting our fleshly enemies to death through the power of His Spirit.
Human nature is inherently selfish and deeply in love with this world, making it an enemy toward God (James 4:4) Many professing Christians fail to realize that faith is a daily battle. Without self-denial and the willingness to embrace and pick up one’s cross, no one can truly follow Yahshua and be taught of Him. If your flesh rules your life, and the path of a crucified life feels burdensome, you are on the wrong side of the battle—calling evil good and good evil. (Isaiah 5:20) If any of these traits describe you, you must face the reality that You have remained trapped in your fallen nature, ruled by Satan, because you love the easy, comfortable religion he offers—a deceptive mixture of truth and lies. This apostate form of religion denies the Spirit’s power. (2 Timothy 3:5) Many professing believers cling to it, because it demands no sacrifice and requires no self-denial or death to self. This is cowardice. Examine yourself, because the "cowardly" will have their place in the lake of fire, rather than entering heaven. (Revelation 21:8) Yahshua knows exactly who is with Him, and He knows exactly who belongs to Him. Messiah makes the terms unmistakable: He must be your first and foremost love. You must count the cost, for Yahveh weighs the hidden motives of your heart.
Messiah’s redeemed must leave the world behind and put the flesh to death, to keep stride with Him”
- Galatians 5:25 -
You may feel weary and hesitant—knowing the truth but struggling to live it. Yet, Yahveh is calling you to join His faithful few. In this late hour, He is gathering a willing remnant who are dying to the flesh to stand strong in His power. Surrender your heart to the Spirit's transformation and boldly unite with His born-again family. Messiah’s redeemed must leave the world behind and put the flesh to death, to keep stride with Him (Romans 8:13, 2 Corinthians 6:17). As it is written, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25). Yahshua is moving swiftly in this late hour, drawing those who abide by His side into the depths of His love. Stay the course! Don’t break rank or allow the enemy to distract you. You are a new creation—do not return to the old! Messiah’s beloved remnant will be more than conquerors, remaining faithful to the end. This glorious promise is for them, “To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with Me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with My Father on His throne.” (Revelation 3:21) These are His mighty warriors, standing unshakeable and strong in the power of His might. They are the called, chosen, and faithful remnant who endure to the end and are saved (Revelation 17:14, Matthew 24:13).
