The Revolution Brigade

I’ve been exploring the idea of readiness in the prophetic army, and I have to tell you that I’ve been provoked by the Spirit of the Lord lately to get more training.   Now, I’ve been in the military and I have a moderate level of training at hand-to-hand combat, tactics, escape and evasion, and combat medicine.  Frankly, I don’t know if I’ve mastered those disciplines to the extent that I can teach them with confidence.

We need young people who have special skills, or are willing to acquire them, who will devote themselves to the cause of evangelizing the world.  We need MMA fighters who are in love with Jesus who can teach us hand to hand combat.  We need paramedics who are tired of busing heart attack victims to the hospital who can teach us how to care for ourselves in the jungle if we’re injured.

I’m actually crazy enough to believe that God can raise up engineers who will develop water purification systems for remote villages in Africa.  We need to know how to fix trucks, build buildings, hide and escape if we’re being followed and hunted, rig a broken radio to function, and rappel off of a cliff. 

Do you know how to move and escape if you come under machine gun fire?  That might come in handy if you’re attempting to preach the word in Mogadishu. Let’s get a vision for this thing.
