The MILITANT Church Ep. 3

<h3>Dear Listeners, <p dir="auto">Let me start off with a <strong>clarification. I have received concerned feedback from readers (not listeners) about the term <em>Militant Church. <p dir="auto">A <strong><em>MILITANT CHURCH has nothing to do with worldly weapons. As God tells us through Paul in Ephesians chapter 6:12 <blockquote> <p dir="auto">12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. <p dir="auto">From a <strong>wordly view, <em>Militancy sounds threatening, violent, aggressive, oppressive. <em>However, we are not fighting the enemy with wordly weapons. We use the <strong>Full armour of God with five <strong>defensive weapons and <em>two offensive armament. <hr /> <p dir="auto"><strong><em>Militancy is defined as in the <a href="https://www.thefreedictionary.com/militancy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Free Dictionary as: <p dir="auto"><strong>1. the state or condition of being combative or disposed to fight.<br /> <strong>2. the active championing of a cause or belief. — <strong>militant, <em>n., adj. <hr /> <p dir="auto">As <em>Christians, we are called to stand on the Word of God, to be in this world yet not of it. <p dir="auto"><strong>I don't have opinions. I have a position, and that postition is based on the inerrant and unchanging Word of God. <p dir="auto">If we deny Jesus, He will deny us before our Heavenly Father. I care only what God thinks of me, not what people think - and to Him we all are accountable. <blockquote> <p dir="auto">Militancy: <em>the active championing of a cause or belief. <p dir="auto"><strong>God Waves Church on the Moon is not a religious show. I am killing sacred cows that weaken Christians the world over. I am sharpening the butterknives of domesticated believers and offer the double edged Sword of the Spirit. Our Lord wants Christians to <strong>understand <strong><em>their <strong>duty as a warrior of Christ. I want Christians to understand their power, to be conscious of the enemey whereever he may lurk. <div class="pull-right"> <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmSgagJyZbFq3wm2ZVWJV2Rx4p55poxP3rsSRdBHii2Po3/image.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmSgagJyZbFq3wm2ZVWJV2Rx4p55poxP3rsSRdBHii2Po3/image.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmSgagJyZbFq3wm2ZVWJV2Rx4p55poxP3rsSRdBHii2Po3/image.png 2x" /> <p dir="auto"><em>Welcome to then the third transmission on<br /> God Waves titled: <br /><br /> <strong><em>The Militant Church <p dir="auto"><span>As Christians we have a particular responsibility before God.
