The Commissioning of The Army
-----

As in the natural army, the men receive a commission (duty), so it is with the Army of God. The Lord is issuing the Commissioning to each individual according to their giftings.

Some will find themselves in a seemingly peaceable place; yet, a warfare will be needed.

Some will find themselves in a seemingly troublesome place and warfare will be needed.

Some will find themselves in an all out war and warfare will be needed.

To each commissioned soldier is given the giftings to do the warfare needed. Each warfare must be accomplished according to the 'truth' within each individual. Each warfare is waged on the Lord's terms. Each warfare is needed!

When you receive your commission slip, do not compare yours with another's. Yours is unique to the giftings within you. If you become envious or covet your brothers commission, you have lost the war before you have waged the warfare and become useless to His Kingdom's purposes. Be content with your commission. Do the warfare required of you and in due season, you may be commissioned to higher ground. To wage war in this hour is going to take deciplined soldiers - obedient to their call.

The commissioning of The Army of God is now going forth. Be prepared to leave your 'comfort zones' and enter into the war zone He has commissioned you to. Be diligent and be continually about your Father's business.

And remember Saints, continue to pray one for the other.
