The Templar Paradigm – Part 2

Now that we have resynced  with a new attitude, we need to reaffirm where Royal Warrior-priests anchor their identity.
For Christians it's really as simple as three integral aspects of the Christian Life:
 Holy Baptism,
 Holy Communion,
 the Rite of Confirmation.

Gird up!- 
or where orthodox doctrine, faithful dogma, and worked-out theology meets its practical use so that it may have value both to the Christian and the contexts he engages in as part of the Cosmic War.

To wear armor means confrontation, conflict, contension-

 yet the battles are those GOD chooses for us;

 the personal conflicts come into the center circle of the 'Master's Wheel' by GOD's will.

We do not engage until the appointed time and field;

we do not seek our adversaries until GOD brings them to us.

GOD defends our flanks.
GOD defends Himself.
HIS Kingdom lays siege to the Gates of Hell, and mocks the Fortress of Abaddon-
because that is what our Captain & KING is always doing.

The story of Dracula will teach you what Christian men and women look like on offense, what robust Sacramental Christianity can do, and the power of praying the historic liturgy in desperate circumstances of existential spiritual warfare.

This story also shows what curses and tragedies happen when branches of the Church decide to present an un-Biblical civil, respectable "Christianity".

But where does a Christian get this power to act?
And is it a power that we are purposely not desiring, let alone asking for?

The power comes, as the Bible reveals, through the Holy SPIRIT. 

The Holy Armour & Weapons we use are HIS, graciously bestowed upon each of us.

They are for offensive Heavenly Warfare, and they contain GOD's divine potency so we may be about doing the good works GOD has appointed for each of us to do before men, to the glory of the FATHER.

Through the Holy SPIRIT, GOD has given the Church his most powerful gifts in order to sustain us in the fight, as well as to take the fight to the devil and his hordes. We will not have the success that GOD desires if we are not asking Him to give us these gifts—and especially if congregations are not praying for their young people to receive these gifts, or increase them—all according to the will and measure of the Holy SPIRIT...

Through faith in Christ, the Holy SPIRIT lives in us, daily trains us by meditating on the Word, and thus preserves us: 

the Divinely-elected, princely warrior-priest Knights of GOD.
