AT CHRIST'S BIRTH 

Onward, Christian Soldiers!

TEXT
Ephesians Chapter 6: v. 10 - 18 

10. Be strong in the Lord, 

and in the power

of His might. 

11. Put on the whole armor

of God, that ye

may be able 

to stand against 

the wiles of the devil.

12. For we wrestle not  

against flesh and blood, 

but against powers,, 

against the rulers

of this world, 

against spiritual

wickedness

in high places.

13. Wherefore take unto you

the whole armor

of God, 

that ye may be able

to withstand in the evil day, 

and having done all,

to stand.

14.  Stand therefore, 

having your loins girt about

with truth, and having

on the breastplate

of righteousness:

15.  And your feet shod with 

the preparation 

of the gospel of peace;

16.  Above all, taking 

the shield of faith, wherewith

ye shall be able to quench

all the fiery darts of 

the wicked.

17. And take the helmet

of salvation, and

the sword of the Spirit, 

which is 

the word of God. 

18. Praying always with all

prayer and supplication

in the Spirit, and watching

thereunto with all

perseverance 

and supplication for all saints.

Ephesians 6.10 - 18 KJV Holy Bible

The Church no longer exists, 

but the memory is 

bright and clear 

that it is 

Christians 

who must give out 

the Good News 

The Gospel of Christ

that He came to save 

Sinners, 

not the righteous,

and that in His 

Power and in 

His 

Authority 

we are to go forward

as SOLDIERS.

When we become His, and are saved, 

we are immediately thrust 

into a spiritual

battle.

Where before, we

had only 

one nature, sin, and

no power 

to break away from that.

When we become a 

Son of God,  that 

changed 

for ever.

For ever only 

has to be once 

said, for 

it is 

for ever.

Joshua 1. 8 

This book of the law 

shall not depart

out of thy mouth;

but thou shalt 

meditate therein

day and night, 

that thou mayest 

observe 

to do according to all

that is written therein: 

for then thou

shalt be 

pr0sperous.

Joshua 1. 8 

Jesus told the disciples 

"He that believeth in me, 

the works that I do

shall he do also;

because I go into my Father.

John 14. 12 

Christians Soldier

need to know these

facts which 

the Bible gives us.

I.  WE NEED TO KNOW 

OUR COMMANDER.

*We are to personally know our
commanding officer. 
*We are to receive our orders from
Him, and no one else. 
*We are to exactly do what he 
commands.

II Timothy 2.3 -4

Thou therefore endure 
hardness, as a good soldier
of Jesus Christ. No man that 
warreth entangleth himself 
with the affairs of this life,
that he may please
him who hath chosen him
to be a soldier.

Philippians 3.10 - 11

That I may know Him
and the power of His 
resurrection, and the 
fellowship of His 
sufferings, being made 
conformable unto 
His death; if by
any means I might also
attain unto the 
resurrection 
of the dead. 

I John 5. 10 - 13 

10. He that believeth on the 
Son of God hath the 
witness in himself: he that
believeth not God hath
made him a liar;  
because he believeth not
the record that God
gave of his Son.
11. And this is the record, 
that God hath given to us
eternal life, and
this life is in
His Son. 
12. He that hath the Son 
hath life; and
he that hath not the 
Son of God 
hath not life.
13. These things have I 
written unto you that 
believe on 
the name of the 
Son of God,
that ye may 
know that ye have 
eternal life, 
and that ye may 
believe 
on the name of 
the Son of God. 

Psalm 27.8  

When thou saidest, seek
ye my face; my
heart said unto thee,,
Thy face, O Lord,, will I
seek.

 Psalm 63. 1 

O God: Thou art my God;
early will I seek Thee:
my soul thirsteth for thee.

I Timothy 6.12 

Fight the good fight
of faith, lay hold on
eternal life: whereunto thou 
art also called, and
hast professed a good
profession before
many witnesses.

Paul declared in his
letter to Timothy:
II Timothy 4.7

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished
my course,
I have kept the faith.

Jeremiah 7.23 

But this thing I 
commanded them, 
saying,
Obey my voice,
and I will be your God,
and  you
shall be my people: 
and ye shall walk ye in
all the ways that
I have commanded you,
that it may be well unto you.

Acts 5.29 

Then Peter and the other
apostles answered and
said, We 
ought to obey God 
rather
than men.

II.  WE OUGHT TO KNOW
THE ENEMIES.

*Our primary enemy is: 
*the world 
*the flesh
*the devil 

I John 2. 15,16

15.  Love not the world, neither
the things that are 
in the world. If any
man love the world,
the love of the Father
is not in him.  
16. For all that is in 
the world, 
the list of the flesh,
and the list of 
the eyes,
and the pride
of life, is
not of the 
Father, but is 
of the world.

Romans 8.8 

So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God.

Ephesians 2.3

Among whom also we all
has our conversation in
times past in the lusts
of our flesh, 
fulfilling the desire of 
the flesh and of the mind;
and were by
nature
the children of wrath,
even as others.

I Thessalonians 2.18
Wherefore we would
have come unto you, 
even I, Paul, once 
and again; but
Satan hindered us. 

*Other enemies Believers may
have to fight are: 
*Ignorance 
*Selfishness -need for
cooperation and teamwork
*Pride - basic sin .
*Doubt
*Fear - afraid of the unknown

II Timothy 2.15 

Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman
that needeth not
to be ashamed, 
rightly 
dividing 
the word of truth. 

II Timothy 1.6 

For God has not give us 
the Spirit of fear;
but of 
power, and of
love,
and of a sound 
mind. 

I John 4.18 

There is no fear in love;
but perfect love 
casteth out 
fear: 
because fear
hath
torment. He
that feareth is
not made perfect
in love. 

I John 4.19

We love Him, because He first loved us. 

III.  WE ARE TO KNOW
HOW TO RECRUIT SOLDIERS,  

*We are to seek to reach out 
to others with the 
Gospel of Christ.
*We are to give each 
person a responsiblity
to keep him busy.  

John 12.26 
If any man serve me, 

let him follow Me, and 
where I am, there shall
also my servant be: 
if any serve me, him
will my Father honour.  


IV.  WE ARE TO KNOW HOW 
TO TRAIN OUR SOLDIERS.

*We each need to be trained in a 
practical knowledge of the Bible.
*We must know how to use
God's Word in leading
another person to Christ.
*We must know how to use
God's Word to help others 
as well as ourselves in
overcoming 
difficulties.

II Timothy 2. 15 

Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman
that needeth not
to be ashamed, 
rightly
dividing 
the word of truth. 

II Timothy 3.16, 17 

All scripture is given 
by inspiration of God, 
and is 
profitable 
for doctrine, 
for correction,
for instruction
in righteousness: 
that the man of 
God may be perfect,
throughly furnished
unto all good
works. 

Romans 10.17 

Faith cometh by 
hearing, 
and hearing 
by the word of God.

V.  WE MUST KNOW HOW TO PLAN
 FOR INVASION.

*Our conduct must be pleasing 
unto the Lord.
*We must be faithful and steadfast 
with our purpose and 
objective in mind. 
*we must not be terrified  or
upset by our adversaries.
*Look forward . 
Press on.  Keep on keeping on.
Do not give out, give in, or give up.


Philippians 1.27 - 30  

v.27. Only let your conversation
be as it becometh the 
Gospel of Christ: 
that whether I come
and see you, 
or else be absent,
I may hear of your affairs,
that ye stand fast
in one spirit,
with one
mind
striving together
for the 
faith of the gospel. 
v.28.   And in nothing
terrified by your
adversaries:
which to them 
is an evident
token of perdition,
but to you
of salvation,
and that of God. 
v.29.  For unto you it
is given in the behalf
of Christ, not
only to believe on him,
but also to 
suffer for His sake;
v.30.   Having the same 
conflict which ye
saw in me and
now hear to 
be in me. 

Philippians 3. 12 - 14

v.12. Not as though 
I had attained, either
were already 
perfect: 
but I follow 
after,
if that I may
apprehend
that for which
also I am apprehended
of Christ Jesus.
v.13.  Brethren,
I count not myself
to have
apprehended:
but this one thing
I do, forgetting
those things
which are behind
and 
reaching forth
unto
those things
which are before, 
v.14.  I press 
toward the mark 
for
the prize
of the high calling
of God 
in Christ Jesus.
