JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Philippians 2:5 says “Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.” The Army Chaplain Corps was at one time in charge of Battle Mind training for Soldiers. The idea was to mentally and spiritually prepare the Soldier for the realities of conflict. I always felt this was the best training that a Soldier could receive before going down range. We, as followers of Jesus, need this training also as we are constantly engaged in spiritual conflict.
Each and every day you are placed on the front lines of an enemy that desire for your life to have no meaning or purpose. His goal is for you to live defeated. Paul told the church at Philippi that they must mentally and physically prepare for this fight. You and I are the tip of the spear when it comes to engaging the world with the message of Jesus. Let us not cower down at the moment that we are needed to press the advantage. Let us have the same mind that was in Christ and that was a Battle Mind.
