Jesus is the Commander in Chief of God's Army

I received the following short message from our Lord on April 17, 2007.

Jesus is Commander in Chief and will be leading his army

Jesus speaking: I am going to lead my army. Our Spirit is our power source, but I am the Commander in Chief of my army. I will literally lead you into battle.

Now you got it Rose. It is a prelude of the Battle of Armageddon. I will then lead my army of saints and angels also.

The war will be different, however. This time I’m leading my army to bring in the harvest. The Battle of Armageddon is to defeat the enemy.

Some will actually turn to me in those days when they see the power that I bring with me!

That is what will turn many to me in the days to come!

They will recognize that only a god could do what I am about to do!

Their gods never did those things for them!

I will show the world through my power  that I am truly the Son of God!

JESUS WILL LEAD HIS ARMY

Getting our crowns ready to lay at the feet of Jesus

You are so amazing, Lord. I truly am honored that you speak to me like this.

I held out my hands to you years ago, Lord. I wanted something put into them that I could lay at your feet.

That will be a very special day, in the distant future, when each person gets to come before you one-on-one and lay our crowns at your feet.

Our crowns represent what we did for you in this life. I didn't want to come before you empty handed.

My empty hands are no longer empty, Lord. You are definitely filling them, beyond what I could have possibly imagined.

I originally imagined WFC as an outreach and educational ministry that would bring a few people home into your family.

I never imagined becoming a prophet, being involved in a healing ministry, writing books, or being asked to build you an army of tens of millions of warriors.

You have filled my hands to overflowing, Lord. I couldn’t have done that on my own. You helped me each step of the way. I thank you for that.

God speaking: You are welcome, my love, but this is just the beginning of many things to come. We'll have all eternity together.

Then people who join my army and also my generals will finally be rewarded for all their hard work and sacrifices to me.

I will meet with each one of you one-on-one on that special day, when you get to lay your crowns at my feet.

You will have many beautiful crowns to give me, my precious Rose.

The one present that will mean the most to me, however, will be a simple rose. That rose will represent you. You gave all to me, and I will never forget that.

Why did God choose me for this assignment?

God is not looking for the rich and famous to lead HIS ARMY, but people with pure hearts who want to serve our Lord instead of self.

Lord, I am no scholar and I don’t have all those degrees. That's why it amazes me that you chose me for this assignment.

On the positive side, however, is that I am coming to you as a child. You don’t have to get rid of the traditions of man first. I am simply an empty vessel that you can pour whatever you want into.

I do have the basics. That is not what I am talking about. You just need to fill me with what you want me to receive. That is  an over simplification, but you know what I mean.

Here I am, Lord. Just tell me whatever you want me to relay to your people. I am simply a conduit that you send your words through.  

The leadership of WFC

You are definitely holding me responsible for this ministry, Lord.

I won’t be the only one, however. You are bringing in other key people and we will operate as a 5-fold ministry. All 5 will be represented, the apostle, prophet, teacher, evangelist, and pastor.

You will tell us what you want, Lord. We will discuss these issues to make sure that we are in agreement with what you want us to do.

We'll need to develop many of thee things, but we'll seek your approval before we actually implement them. 

After you give your approval, then these orders will be sent down through the ranks in YOUR ARMY.

Each one of the  5-fold will  also be part of their respective COMPANIES 

Leadership in the local church and ministries

Isn’t that similar what you had planned for the local churches also?

You gave us the 5-fold ministry for your church 2,000 years ago.

The early church leaders brought forth people to help with the daily matters. The purpose was to free the 5-fold of the things that others could do, so they could concentrate on their assignments, the things that only they were qualified to do.  

 Acts 6:2-6
"2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said. It is not reason that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: 6 Whom they set before the apostles, and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them." KJV

Are the elders and boards of the local churches assuming too much control and importance in the modern church? Are they getting into spiritual matters and decisions that are meant only for the 5-fold? Do your churches and ministries even operate with the 5-fold? Are too many of the denominations' local boards and elders making decisions on their own, instead of consulting you, Lord?

When churches make contracts with governments, then you are no longer their true leader, because they have to comply with the laws of the land instead of you.

That is why you established Warriors for Christ Ministries International as a FREE CHURCH, as provided for by the Constitution of the United States. Then we  can freely answer to you and not any government or man-made religious institution.

This is your church, Lord. You are the one who paid the penalty for our sins and not any religious leader or religion.

You will tell us what to do in YOUR ARMY, Lord. We will then get our heads together to make sure that we are in agreement as to what you want us to do.

Then we will try to implement your will to the best of our abilities.

You are the Commander in Chief of your army, Jesus, and you are in charge.  

The problem with too many of the denominations and local boards and elders is that they miss that first step and don’t ask you what you want.

All ministries are supposed to belong to you, but they do not. If they belong to you, then you need to tell them what you want.

I believe that is why there are so many problems in your body. People want to have their own way, and the traditions of man are also a huge factor.   

God is the only one who knows all

These are just my thoughts, Lord. You’ll probably tell me once again that I am some right and some wrong. That is ok. I am human. I don’t claim to have all the answers.

That is why I am at your feet, Lord, and ready to receive.

You are the only one who knows all and has all the answers.

Tell us what you want us to do, Lord. That will solve most of the problems and issues that are causing so much division throughout your body.

You want us to unite and become as one, but it will be impossible as long as there are people who have to have things done their way, and their way only.

What about you, Lord?

Where are you in all of this?

Those are my thoughts today. Now let's hear from our Lord. He is the only one who knows all.  

Who makes the decisions in your churches and ministries?

I'm here, Rose. This is definitely an issue that is causing a lot of division in my body.

What was the statement that you heard recently? LITTLE PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF POWER. 

I am having a lot of trouble with my boards and elders in my churches. They don’t fully understand what their true role is. I didn’t go into detail in my Word.

What God wants

I wanted help for my apostles, to free my apostles from the daily chores that needed to be done.

I never intended for these helpers to assume more authority than was intended.  

The ways of man and governments have entered my churches and ministries.

I do the calling and the commissioning.

I want the people who are actually commissioned and anointed by me to make the decisions.

It is that simple. That is it.

The rest of you are to act as helpers, to relieve these people of the burdens of the daily chores that need to be one.

I want my COMMISSIONED ANOINTED SERVANTS to spend their time with me, and doing the work that I have called them forth to do for me.

They will answer to me and me alone on spiritual matters, and will do what I tell them to do.

Man has strayed away from God's original plan 

Man has entered the scene, however.

The TRADITIONS OF MAN have also entered.

Now, too many of my called, then commissioned and anointed servants are no longer free to serve me, but have to deal with the opinions of man and the traditions of my church that have come along with them.

Too many of my anointed commissioned servants are held in bondage to the opinions of their boards and elders.

No! No! No!  

I am to be in charge and not man.

I am God. You are not.

If you want to be the god of your local church or ministry, then you do what gods do.

Don’t expect to make the decisions, and then expect me to perform according to your desires. No! No! No!

You have that turned around, my children.  

I’m not even going to attempt to change what is presently happening in my churches. I will give you my opinions.

Some will come to me about this matter and others will not.

At least I am giving you something to think about in these messages.  

The leadership in God's army

That is why I am going outside the walls of my present churches to form MY ARMY.

Then I don’t have to deal with these things. I will tell my leaders what I want and they will do them.

I have searched throughout this country for people who will obey me in these matters, and put my desires over their own.

Many were called, but few were chosen.

That is what the tests were about.

I have now chosen my 4 star generals to begin my campaign. The testing is over. I am in charge.

The people who were selected passed all, not some, but all of the tests that I gave them.

I needed to be sure that I would be allowed to be in charge and not man.

That is the only way that we can bring in the kind of harvest that I want.  

We had a situation already, even before the doors of this ministry opened up.

I will give you the bottom line.

I told my servant what I wanted. She obeyed me and wrote what I wanted. Certain people didn’t like what I said and got very angry because they didn’t agree with what I said.

They then attacked my servant and caused much delay in what I wanted to do.

I allowed this to occur, to teach my servant a valuable lesson about man. 

God is in charge of his army

I am to remain in charge. That is it.

You don’t have to join my army, but if you do, then you will also need to obey my leaders who will be telling you what I want, not what they want, but what I want.  

Yes, they will come up with many creative ideas also.

I want all my children involved. There are many things that I won’t become involved in, because I expect man to do what he can.  

I will get involved to get you to do what I want and also to keep you on the road that I want you to be on.  

Yes, there are other roads that are good roads. If you want to stay or go on those roads, that is fine and your choice.  

But I am telling you one thing today.

If you want to get on the road that says GOD’S END-TIME ARMY, then be prepared to do things my way, and my way only.  

What I tell my army to do is not what I am saying to those on other roads.

It would be better if you did the same thing, but I am not going to take my precious time to try to change the thinking of man and the traditions of man.

They are too strong and not worth my time.  

Yes, many of you serve me well. Continue on doing what you are, my faithful servants.

You are doing some good. Keep on doing that. It will pale in comparison to what my army will do for me, however.  

What I have planned is good, very good. The only way that I can get the kind of results that I want, however, is if I am in total control.

That means that I make the important decisions and you obey me. That is it.  

If you cannot do that, then don’t become a leader. You can still join my regular army, but I cannot have my leaders going off on their own, doing their own thing.  

There will be more flexibility than you realize, however.

I am not going to be involved in every little decision that you make. I expect you to do what you can.  

When situations come up, however, I want to be consulted.  

There needs to be uniformity in my army. My leaders need to be on the same page. That page is my page, however.  

I don’t want to get into legalism.  

I will have a say in important issues or if problems arise.  

I don’t want any personalities to emerge and people setting up their little kingdoms. No! No! No! That is what I am against.  

You are all equal in my eyes. I want my generals to march in rank with the common soldiers. I do not want pride to enter. All assignments are important.

The generals will have a different assignment than each of you. That is all. 

There will be a chain of command, but each one of you will have equal opportunity to rise through the ranks.  

If you don’t like this plan, then don’t just criticize it. YOU TELL US WHAT WOULD WORK BETTER when dealing with potentially thousands and thousands of local congregations, each headed by people who have their own opinions.

It’s easy to recognize problems and criticize what other people are doing. What is the solution then?

Just what is it that you can come up with that is better than what I plan on doing?  

What the present church is doing is not working too well. Yes, some of my lost children come home to me, but we don’t have time for that.

You are losing the war to the enemy, my church. You had 2,000 years to do it your way and the enemy is still winning.  

You got away from my original plan. That is what happened.

God is starting from scratch with his army 

Now we are going full circle, back to what my original church did.

I am going to by-pass the traditions of man and start from scratch.

That is the restructuring that I am talking about.

We are starting from scratch outside the walls of my churches. When it is over, compare the results.  

My army will bring more souls into my Kingdom over the next years than my church has for the last 2,000 years.

Unless you can top that, then don’t have the audacity to criticize what I am about to do.

If I say to man that I want you, or don’t want you to do or not to do certain things, then I have my reasons. You are not to question what I want.

Who is God anyway? Did you create the universe? Did you give life to man?

Just what is it that you do, my people, that gives you the right to question what I want to do? You are treading on thin ice, my children, very thin ice.  

I am giving you these words for a very specific reason.

Rose will publish them, as is, because that is her job. These are my words and not hers. She is obeying me. That is it. This is her job, at least part of it.  

We have a huge harvest to bring in.

I will have the best results with my children and new Christians who aren’t already in ministry, because they aren’t so set in their ways or tied down to the TRADITIONS OF MAN.

They will accept what I say, simply because I say it.  

I gave many of you a chance to become one of my generals, but most of you failed the tests.

Having things done your way was more important to you than doing things my way.

That was the ultimate test.

Whose will would prevail, yours over mine, or mine over yours?

I must be in control.

This is my army. That is it.  

We are almost there now. I wanted these issues settled before we opened the doors to this ministry.

I wanted this issue brought to the surface, so that my people have a better understanding of what to expect. Now this issue is settled as far as I am concerned.  

This is my army and I am in charge.

I will tell my leaders what I want them to do, and they will pass these orders down through the ranks.

That is it!

You don't have to join my army, but it you do, then I expect you to abide by my wishes, even when you would prefer to do things a different way.

If you don't agree with that, then it is very simple. Don't join my army!

If you don't join, however, I have a very serious warning for you!

Don't interfere with what my army will be doing.

We will be focusing on bringing in the harvest.

Don't try to interfere, or you will lose, because I win!

I always win! 

Some of the people won't like the words written, but deep down in their hearts will know that it is the right thing to do.

I don’t have anything more at this time. We’ll do the 4^th watch. That is my time for you.
