What makes a mighty Warrior? (Generalising of course)
In Worldly terms:
- Strong muscles
- Physical Endurance
- A Loudmouth full of Profanities (To scare the enemy)
- An Abundance of firepower
- Anger/rage on the battlefield
- A degree of Blood lust (Only for your enemy of course)
- An ability to physically overpower/kill/injure your enemy
- Blind trust in your leader
- Bravery in the face of danger
- A willingness to die in action
In Godly terms:
- Strong faith
- Spiritual endurance
- A quiet mouth that speaks kindly (To woo the enemy and endeavour to make friends)
- An abundance of prayers
- Steadfast faith on the battlefield (Our battlefield is in our minds, hearts, and bodies)
- A hate of injustice, inhumanity, and indifference to the suffering of others
- An unwillingness to physically or emotionally harm other people
- An understanding of our Heavenly Father
- Trust in God in the face of danger
- A willingness to die to our sins (change our minds and our harmful habits that lead to spiritual death)
There is more, but these spring to mind right now.
In short; Worldly warriors trust in their leaders, themselves and their personal abilities
God's warriors trust in the love and power of their Heavenly Father, and in HIs abilities....which far out-way anything man can do.
This is how I understand my God.
Read for yourself, see what you think.
