Hello, my name is William Hunt and I am a dedicated servant and soldier for our Lord Jesus Christ. I have long considered creating a blog that contains my thoughts, testimonies, and various other dealings with the Lord; and today I was commanded to do so without fail. So here I am letting the Lord speak through me as I press the buttons on this keyboard. This blog is not aimed at telling its readers what they want to hear, nor is it being created for the purpose of starting foolish quarrels or to bring attention to myself; the Lord has commanded me to do this, and I make every attempt to serve the Lord well and carryout his will. However, I do hope and pray that all who read what is written here will walk away with a closer relationship to Jesus and better understanding of what it means to be a Christian. Furthermore, I hope to inspire believers and non-believers alike to come closer to God and let him bless you with an overflow of the Holy Spirit. God bless everyone whose eyes meet these words!
Some may call themselves defenders of the faith; others say they are watchmen, soldiers, lanterns, navigators, and various other positions in the name of the Lord our God. Every single position is crucial to the Christian faith and is piece of the puzzle that God fits together perfectly so that His Army functions like clockwork. That is right, I said “His Army”, as in God’s Army. Many who are not of the faith and some of those who are might say “God has and Army?” Well the answer is a big yes! And all of us who have accepted Christ and the sacrifice he made for our salvation have been enlisted by God to be a part of it! As I mentioned before, there are many different positions God calls on people to serve under in His Army. Maybe you are a Soldier in the thick of the ongoing spiritual war against Satan; or maybe you are a Christian counselor who provides much needed Godly counsel and support to our Christian soldiers when they are away from the battle. Regardless, God has called on you and has great joy and love for you and all that you do to support the praise of His name! We are all Soldiers of God in one way or another, but many times he will use a specific talent in you to carry out these other equally as important functions. He loves your talents and uniqueness because he blessed you with them, so always embrace them so that you may glorify and praise his name ceaselessly. I have been a born-again Christian for 5 years and was only enlisted by God into His Army about one month ago. There is a difference between just being a Christian and truly being a soldier of God; and it is much like the difference between just going to church every Sunday, versus glorifying God in everything you do. As Christians our lifestyle and all that we do should be guided by the Bible; and if all else fails, always strive to glorify God in every action you take, word you say, and thought you have. There is warfare taking place all around us every second of everyday, and it is the war of good versus evil, the war against Satan. We must fight the good fight at all times, together we will persevere.
“God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the
gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory
to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.” -1 Peter 4: 10-11 NLT
“Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which
you have confessed so well before many witnesses.”- 1 Timothy 6
