This title is intended to help those who want to see God manifest His power and purpose in their life.
There is no sadder epitaph than “I never became what I might have been.”
Don’t be a spectator on the sidelines, be a participant in the destiny God has called you to. The purpose of this book is to activate God’s call on your life and equip you to do so by revealing five key concepts that are foundational for Christian success. 1) Warriors know who they are. 2) Warriors trust God. 3) Warrior know their enemy. 4) Warriors are not easily deceived. 5) Warriors move in God’s power. For years now, the Lions Unchained podcast has challenged believers to unleash their God-given destiny. Many lions are caught up in the demands of the day-to-day, scouring the savanna, chasing down warthogs, or taking care of the cubs. Consequently, purposeful living becomes an afterthought, and “the grind” becomes the norm. No matter where you are in life, it is never too late as far as God’s concerned. It‘s time to unleash the warrior within! |
Book Excerpt, Chapter One (Warriors Know Who They Are), Pages 3-4:
“The image of a warrior musters a gladiatorial scene, a knight in shining armor or freedom fighter taking his last breath. Let it be known from the outset, God is a warrior. He is the Lord of Sabaoth. “The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name” (Ex. 15:3). When Christ returns, He will do so as a warrior. “And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God” (Rev. 19:15). God presented Himself as a warrior from the outset, He will return as a warrior, and wants you to be a warrior for Him.
Throughout the Bible, God wields power to vanquish evil at every turn and so should we. Israel was at war constantly throughout the Old Testament. This is a typology of the warfare a Christian must wage against the demonic realm. God promised victory for Israel over her enemies as long as it remained loyal to Him (Deut. 28:7). The same goes for nations. Ultimately, it is a question of loyalty.
The pre-incarnate Christ appeared as a warrior on at least two occasions in the Old Testament. He appeared as a figure with sword drawn, prior to Joshua’s conquest over Jericho (Josh. 5:13–15) and as a warrior with fiery flame in the burning bush, when He commissioned Moses (Ex. 3:2). In both instances, His appearance was a precursor to great victory for God’s people. God’s covenant promise as protector and vindicator is later solidified: “The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways” (Deut. 28:7). In doing so, God often employs the forces of nature as His weapons including hailstones, tornadoes, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
Yet, interestingly, when God appeared in human form, Jesus was meek and lowly of heart (Matt. 11:29), which doesn’t sit well with the warrior persona. Lest we forget, Jesus was baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire from the beginning (Matt. 3:11). There was a fire in His belly from day one. Charles Spurgeon said of meekness, “Meekness seeketh not its own, and when it asserts itself, it is always with an eye to the benefit of others; therefore, none can bid it be silent.”
