Battle Drill Devotional

What Salvation Means for You

What does it mean to be “saved”? Saved from what? Many people today feel they don’t need saving from anything. They have a good life and have no time for God.   But if they stop and think for a minute, they know, deep down, that’s not true.   Click on this link - https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ak_QYEqdXpfKoNRhSbDCZUH36k-4ZA?e=SCf1lO - to read more of this devotional, or listen below.   Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright 1996, 2004, 2007, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Jesus Loves and Affirms You

Does God’s grace ever astound you?

God’s Presence Transforms

Over the years, I have heard several people testify to a dramatic change in their lives because of their encounter with Jesus. My experience is less dramatic, but nevertheless, I have been slowly transformed throughout my life by the presence of Jesus.   Zacchaeus’ life changed in one day.   Click on this link - https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ak_QYEqdXpfKoNRhSbDCZUH36k-4ZA?e=SCf1lO - to read more of this devotional, or listen below.   There's a new episode of Battle Drill Devotional every Monday through Friday.   Head to https://battledrilldevotional.podbean.com for more details and to subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts or you can catch up with us on the Battlefield Resources Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/battlefieldresources.

Jesus Calls You by Name

Having recently taken up a new appointment, I am getting to know, and hopefully to remember, people’s names. I must admit to making a few mistakes in the early days! I am always mortified because I know how important it is to be known by name. When someone knows your name, it confirms they know you.   When Jesus finds Zacchaeus, he calls him by name.   Click on this link - https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ak_QYEqdXpfKoNRhSbDCZUH36k-4ZA?e=SCf1lO - to read more of this devotional, or listen below.   There's a new episode of Battle Drill Devotional every Monday through Friday.   Head to https://battledrilldevotional.podbean.com for more details and to subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts or you can catch up with us on the Battlefield Resources Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/battlefieldresources.

The Two Kinds of People in the World

This week the story of Zacchaeus reminds us that each one of us is loved by Jesus, no matter how good or bad we are.   When you look at someone what do you see? Their gender? Their race? Their wealth? Their talent?   That’s not how Jesus categorises them. To Jesus, people are either saved or they’re lost.   Click on this link - https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ak_QYEqdXpfKoNRhSbDCZUH36k-4ZA?e=SCf1lO - to read more of this devotional, or listen below.   There's a new episode of Battle Drill Devotional every Monday through Friday.   Head to https://battledrilldevotional.podbean.com for more details and to subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts or you can catch up with us on the Battlefield Resources Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/battlefieldresources.

Pray for God’s Vision

I can think about experiences I have missed out on in my life because I was worried or fearful about something. Have you ever missed out on something because you looked at it with the eyes of fear rather than the eyes of faith?   Nehemiah had every reason to be fearful about what he would face when he reached Jerusalem.   Click on this link - https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ak_QYEqdXpfKoNRd1gyUI0F9Nd86_Q?e=1TcJo3 - to read more of this devotional, or listen below.   Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright 1996, 2004, 2007, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

See with Faith, Not Fear

“We shall send to the moon 240,000 miles away, a giant rocket, more than 300 feet tall on an untried mission to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to Earth. … We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard”. So announced President John F. Kennedy more than sixty years ago. Many said it could never be done. But they were proved wrong.   What happens if you listen to the negative naysayers in your life? The ones who tell you God’s vision can never be achieved?   Click on this link - https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ak_QYEqdXpfKoNRd1gyUI0F9Nd86_Q?e=1TcJo3 - to read more of this devotional, or listen below.   There's a new episode of Battle Drill Devotional every Monday through Friday.   Head to https://battledrilldevotional.podbean.com for more details and to subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts or you can catch up with us on the Battlefield Resources Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/battlefieldresources.

Open Your Eyes to See God’s Vision

Do you ever find yourself looking for something that turns up to be right under your nose? Sometimes I wonder if it’s “a man thing” but I have seen at least one woman looking for the spectacles that were on top of her head!   Sometimes we find it difficult to see God’s vision too.   Click on this link - https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ak_QYEqdXpfKoNRd1gyUI0F9Nd86_Q?e=1TcJo3 - to read more of this devotional, or listen below.   There's a new episode of Battle Drill Devotional every Monday through Friday.   Head to https://battledrilldevotional.podbean.com for more details and to subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts or you can catch up with us on the Battlefield Resources Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/battlefieldresources.

Seeing God’s Vision is Essential

Proverbs 29:18 (KJV 1900)Where there is no vision, the people perish.   Read Nehemiah 2:11-20. I’m pretty useless without my glasses on. I can see blurry shapes, but not much detail. Similarly, if you ever come to say hello at my office door when I am using my computer, I may not recognise you, as my reading glasses make everything further away look blurry too!   For Future Builders, being able to see God’s vision clearly is essential. If you don’t know what God’s vision for your life or for the mission of your church is, then it is more difficult to make the right decisions about what to do. You end up drifting through life and ministry instead.   If you cannot see God’s vision for your life, then you are at risk of living life to the expectations of others. A church without a sense of God’s vision is likely to lead to conflict as different groups in the church assume what the vision is.   Not being able to see God’s vision clearly often leads to conflict, at home and at church. Visionless people and churches often lurch from one crisis to another as they are buffeted from all sides.   Nehemiah carried out a night survey on Jerusalem’s broken walls so he could mull over the vision God had given him. As a result he could see more clearly and had a better understanding of how to move forward.   THINK IT OVERThink about the following:• What vision do you think God has for you?   There's a new episode of Battle Drill Devotional every Monday through Friday.

Seeing More Clearly

Today's Battle Drill Devotional: Seeing More Clearly This week we focus on the importance of catching God’s vision. It’s essential we know what God thinks our situation is supposed to look like. Sometimes, we are guilty of not being able to see the wood for the trees. We focus on the here-and-now and the minutiae of everyday life and fall into the trap of short-term thinking.
