Beloved, as we remember today those men and women who serve and who once served in our American military on this Veterans Day, we offer them all a great thank you of appreciation! Where would our nation be without our brave military?
Another side of the coin, the ETERNAL Spiritual one in which we want to look at is the spiritual military service in which Almighty God has called all His redeemed blood brought saints into (1 Cor. 1:26-29, Eph. 2:1-14, 2 Tim. 2:1-5, Rev. 1:5)! We as the redeemed of Almighty God and heirs of ETERNAL LIFE, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, are called into His Divine service as His spiritual soldiers in the war against darkness and LIGHT (Matt. 5:16, John 11:25-26, Eph. 2:1-14; 5:8 1 Thes. 5:5). This Divine service demands our total commitment (1 Cor. 10:31)! This Divine service demands all our hearts, souls, and minds to be fully yielded over to Almighty God to outwork His spiritual battle plan against the enemies of darkness (Matt. 22:37-39; Luke 9:62, Rom. 12:1-2; 1 Cor. 10:31; Eph. 5:15-20). In this Divine service, we are to be totally armed with the spiritual armor of RIGHTEOUSNESS provided to us in Christ Jesus (John 17:17, Eph. 6:10-20; Heb. 11:6). In this Divine service, we are to be applying all the ETERNAL resources of Heaven in RIGHTEOUSNESS found in Jesus Christ as we engage the enemy and stand against his evil wilds (John 17:17; Eph. 1; 2:6; 6:10-20). In this Divine service, we are to be calling in Divine support for those of the faith through prayer and supplications, ever-moving forward unto victory (Phil. 4:6-7, Col. 4:2-4, 1 Thes. 5:16-18, 1 John 5:14-15).
In this Divine service, our faith in ALL who is Almighty God is truly our greatest recourse, weapon, and asset which gives ETERNAL victories on all fronts (Rom. 8:26-39, Heb. 11:1; 6; 1 John 4:4; 5:5)! In this Divine service, we are to seek the liberation of all those oppressed in occupied demonic territories (Matt. 28:19-20, Acts 1:8, 2 Cor. 4:2-4, Eph. 2:1-3, 1 Tim. 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9)! In this Divine service, we are to be all unified, submitted, set apart, and willingly committed to the ETERNAL Lord of Armies, His PERFECT WILL, His ETERNAL GLORY, and His calling for our deployment and engagements (John 17:18-23, 1 Cor. 10:31, Eph. 4:4-5, Phil. 1:27-28; 2:1-4)! In this Divine service, we are to be His Divine ambassadors, mediators, agents of reconciliation for our ETERNAL homeland, pointing all to the RIGHTEOUSNESS for all which is found in Jesus for the ETERNAL deliverance of the soul from the ETERNAL destructive power of sin, death and the fallen one; never forgetting that Almighty God delivered us from the demonic tyranny of Satan and the wages of sin (1 Cor. 6:9-11, 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 2:1-3, Heb. 2:14-15)! The heart and engine for our service is that we are truly thankful for all that our Great Liberator and Savior has ETERNALLY done for us, and in our love for Him, His life in our service and duty is manifested to the world (John 15:1-9, Gal. 5:22-23); always pointing to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LOVE of Almighty God for all those who are oppressed by the Devil (2 Cor. 4:2-4, Eph. 2:1-3, Heb. 2:14-15).
Beloved, if you are Christ's, remember that you have an ETERNAL calling, vocation, and spiritual military service in Him for your existence here in time (1 Cor. 7:17; 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 4:7, 1 Peter 2:9-10)! Be faithful in Almighty God's service and in His grace and mercy, for He is ALWAYS ETERNALLY faithful, for He cannot EVER deny Himself (Numb. 23:19, 2 Tim. 2:13; Titus 1:2; Heb. 13:8, Rev. 1:5-8); and He who is Faithful will perform all He has promised (1 Cor. 1:9, Phil. 1:6, 1 Thes. 5:24, 2 Thess. 2:3-3, Rev. 22:1-5)! Our labor and service my beloved are NOT in vain, so serve in full obedience with a full heart to the glory of Almighty God (1 Cor. 15:58)!
Do your part today as Christ's solider for America in these last days without compromising our TRUE ETERNAL calling to outlive and proclaim the ETERNAL Gospel of Jesus Christ (Gal. 2:20; Eph. 6:10-20). Pray for Almighty God's saving grace for Americans, pray for revival and a coming back to Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS, pray for healing, pray for Israel and Almighty God's providential hand on our nation for good, but ALWAYS be looking for the Blessed Hope and Rapture of our RIGHTEOUS Savior (1 Cor. 2:2, Gal. 2:20, 2 Tim. 2:1-4)!
Maranatha Jesus' Saints!
For that indeed my beloved is our TRUE HOPE in such days and where ALL our expectations are to be found! See the BIG ETERNAL picture and be a light for the ETERNAL LIGHT in such days (Col. 3:1-4)!
Maranatha! For the Kingdom of Heaven is indeed at hand!
Perseverando reporting for duty, Sir!
Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.
Freepers, make sure He is yours, as well. He is our only hope in this life and the next!
Bump!
At ease redeemed Child of the ETERNAL King,
Amen, God speed!

Join the Navi, see the world, because
Ought ye naut to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
For centuries, ships sailed with livestock in order to provide sailors with fresh food. Ships in the British and early American navies often carried goats, to eat the garbage and other undesirable food and to return milk and butter.
