Preparation for the Crossover

Saints, we are in a time of Transition. For many, the nature of your situation and current circumstances, are a far cry from what they were say 2 to 5 years ago. And for many of us, it may not be what could be described as "for the better". But Be Encouraged, God is Still in Control. He is moving behind the scenes and He's setting some things up for His chosen that we would not be able to fathom in our most active imagination. But in order to receive what God has in store for us, we must make Preparation for the Crossover. Crossing over into God's Ordained Destiny for our lives is not something that just "miraculously happens". It does to a certain extent of course, but in order to successfully make the Transition for which God has ordained for our lives, it is imperative that we be Prepared.

One of the areas of Preparation for the Crossover is the development of a Soldier's Mentality. I still get the strong impression that a lot of Christians that attend church services, don't truly understand that when they accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, that they were actually enlisting in the Army, GOD'S ARMY. Yes saints, we are in the Military, and in order to operate successfully and effectively in the armed services, there's a certain mentality that is required. Soldiers don't function like Civilians. Civilians structure their lives to live a leisurely, casual lifestyle as much as they possibly can. Not that there are not certain demands placed on them, but they are not necessarily of a Military nature. When you're in the Army, particularly when you are at War, you're "always" on Guard. There's an Assertiveness that is required to function as a Soldier. I'd like to think of myself as a fairly disciplined individual. But I don't know if I would consider myself a "regimented" individual. When you're in the Service, everything is regimented, from the time you wake up till the time you go to bed. There is a Spiritual Regiment that God has devised for all of us that is part of our Preparation for the Crossover.

In conjunction with the Soldier's Mentality, we have to be prepared to fight for the Kingdom of God. This passiveness on behalf of many Christians, including those in leadership, must cease. It's Time to Go to War! If you're not ready to fight, then you're not ready to Crossover. God told the children of Israel that once they entered the Promised Land that they were to "possess the Land" by fighting the Canaanite nations that resided there (Numbers 33). Are you ready to fight? Are you ready to take back our neighborhoods, take back our communities, take back our families, take back our schools, take back our government, take back our institutions, take back our churches, take back this nation, for the Kingdom of God in the Name of Jesus Christ? God's not going to shower us with Miracle Blessings just to enjoy for our personal consumption. He's going to bless us so we can change the world in Jesus' Name. I pray that as we get closer and closer to this Season that you will allow the Holy Spirit to give you the Grace for the Preparation for the Crossover.
