In a world increasingly marked by chaos and moral decay, the call to action for the church has never been more urgent.
Several years ago, my wife and I were divinely guided to transition our ministry from Mighty Arm Ministries to Remnant Warrior Ministries. This change was not merely a rebranding; it came with a divine mandate to establish an online school of Spiritual Warfare.
However, our commitment to this mission was met with unexpected resistance from various circles, including some ministries that I once revered. They dismissed the significance of spiritual warfare, claiming it to be unnecessary in today’s context.
Yet, this sentiment stands in stark contrast to the extensive teachings of the apostle Paul, who devoted significant portions of his letters to instructing the early church on the importance of spiritual battle.
As I reflect on the past several decades, I have witnessed an alarming trend: the neglect and, at times, outright ignorance of spiritual warfare within the church has rendered both the church and our nation vulnerable to the encroachment of the enemy.
The societal cultures surrounding us have been infiltrated, and in many ways, the church has surrendered territory without the fight that was once characteristic of the body of Christ.
However, the Holy Spirit has illuminated my path with the revelation that a movement is stirring—a resurgence of ministries and leaders passionately focusing on spiritual warfare.
Many of these leaders carry the term “warrior” in their ministry names, signaling a collective awakening to the call of God. Listening to Bishop Bill Hamon’s prophetic word for 2025 solidified this realization.
He spoke of a divine summons to establish an army of warriors, a clarion call for the Remnant Warriors to unite, connect, and reclaim the territories that have been lost.
This prophetic insight aligns with other messages from trusted prophets, confirming that God is rallying His devoted followers to reinstate the Biblical Art of Spiritual Warfare.
At the crux of this mission is the realization that a new elite unit within the body of Christ is being deployed to confront the end-time crises we face.
This brave group, the Remnant Army of God, is characterized by radical commitment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and a willingness to defend His Bride, even at great personal cost.
As I penned the declaration for our ministry, I echoed the sentiments of the apostle Paul found in 2 Timothy 4:7-8. Paul’s testament to having fought the good fight and remained faithful serves as a clarion reminder of our ultimate goal—receiving the crown of righteousness reserved for those who eagerly await His return.
It is not just a promise for Paul but a gracious invitation extended to all who dare to stand firm in their faith.
In alignment with this mission, the Creed articulated by Judy Lamborn resonates deeply with the heart of every Remnant Warrior.
It is a pledge of commitment, recognizing the gravity of our calling in this pivotal moment.
As warriors, we acknowledge that we have been chosen for such a time as this, ready to lay down our lives for the cause of Christ.
We vow to live according to the infallible Word of God, embracing our responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission.
We commit to honoring Jesus Christ in our words and deeds, reflecting His love and truth in a world that desperately needs it.
The time for action is now. The spiritual landscape demands our vigilance and commitment.
As we stand united as Remnant Warriors, we must sanctify ourselves to a life of prayer and intercession, seeking an intimate relationship with God while fervently working to bring salvation to a lost world.
Our mission is clear: we must reclaim the ground that has been surrendered and boldly declare the victory of Christ over every aspect of our lives and communities.
In closing, I urge my brothers and sisters to heed this call. The spiritual battle is real, and the stakes are high. Let us rise as a united front, equipped with the knowledge of our authority in Christ and the unwavering resolve to fight the good fight of faith.
Together, we will be found fulfilling our divine assignment when He returns, eagerly anticipating the words, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord.” The time for action is NOW. Let us answer the call and step into our destiny as Remnant Warriors.
