Believers are in Boot Camp

Believers we are living in boot camp right now. And, I can't prove it by the Bible, but I am convinced that we are being trained to be those who rule with Christ in the Millennium. I just can't believe that our training here has no value for after we leave here.

This is why we must get past our emotions, remove the focus on self and begin to see the lessons in all that we encounter.

Remember that the devil will attempt to keep us one down and overthrown through wallowing in self pity over the evil that unsaved do against us, don't fall for it.

Stay in prayer, seek the Holy Spirit and obey His Word, He is our protection against the tricks of the devil.

Ephesians 6:10-20
"10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,
19 and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."

Notice Paul's declaration that even being in chains will not extinguish his boldness.
