BOOT CAMP

Hebrews 5:14 "But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."

For so long a time, new Christians are fed by God with milk.  Sweet, honey flavored milk, the gentle milk of the Word, the basics of Christianity.  God's uncomprimising love for His children, His laws, His desire that you be free of stress and worry.  But there comes a time when it is important that these newbies begin to leave the milk diet and began to eat the meat of the Word.  The true meanings of what God wants you to know. The revealing of the "secrets" He has kept for just a time when you have stepped out of the baby shoes and began to walk in His path.

You have finally come to the Boot Camp of the Lord. This is the place where instruction begins, a steady regiment of walking and talking the faith He has led you to.  No more leaning on the faith walk of older Christians, but standing on your own, your belief and trust in the Lord. 

It is time for discernment to begin. A time to let the Lord lead you in the knowledge of right and wrong, good and evil. A time for correct choices to be made.  No more of someone telling you what you should and should not do, but a time for you to step up and say, "This is not for me, I don't see my Lord in this, so I will leave this along".  No more having someone steer you away from these things, but for you to seek the Lord on your own as you walk, see Him for direction and grace to walk in His path. Time for you to begin to say "I will do this myself with the help of my Lord".  You can seek Him on your grounds, your own understanding of His love, His desire to lead you in His path of righteousness.  Eating of the meat of the Word, having your fill of the Holy words to guide you, give you direction.

You have to train yourself to study the Word of God.  You have to set guidelines for yourself to stay in the Word and seek the Lord's understanding.  There may be things you do not understand at first, but as you run the race, fight the good fight in the Lord, He will reveal more and more of His Word to you.  You will train yourself on the Lords Word as to what His plan is for you.  Shut yourself up in God's Boot Camp where you will do one on one training with Him to get yourself fit for His army.  His army that carries the Shield of Faith before it as it walks the path of the Lord.

An infilling of the Holy Spirit awaits all those upon graduation of the Boot Camp of the Lord.  Faith raised high, love of the Lord so strong, you will walk into the infilling of the Holy Spirit. You will get drenched with the sweet Spirit as it floods your soul, fills your entire being.  God's precious Spirit to lead you, guide you, comfort you and dwell within you drawing you to the Lord whenever you seek Him. Now that you have learned His voice, you will be listening for His commands, to do whatever He asks of you to do.

No one else but You my God, no one else could lead and guide Your children from milk into the meat of Your Word. To lead them into walk of righteousness, into eternal life with You, my Lord.  You're my one desire my Lord. I am a graduate of the Boot Camp of the Lord.  Thank you my God, for my infilling of Your Spirit. I worship You, I praise only You.  You, only you, satisfy my every desire this 21st day of January 2011.
