Ignited in Christ – Warrior for Christ programme – February 2015

IGNITED IN CHRIST - WARRIOR PROGRAMME – 2015

www.ignitedinchrist.org

1. Why a Call for Warriors for Christ?

Jesus loves all of His children and He sees and is well aware of the state of bondage

(to satan) that His Bride, the Church, is in. He will soon be coming again and is looking

for a spotless Bride without blemish to wait for Him.

The Body of Christ (Christians) is generally broken and in bondage to satan in their

souls and bodies. We (that are in the ministry of healing and deliverance) see, on a

daily basis, the bondage that Christians find themselves in. Here are some recent

statistics from our ministry (and we minister only to Christians):

Out of the last 40 people that we have ministered to (more or less in the last

year), 31 of them had demonic soul copies (DSC’s)1 in them.

Out of this 31 who had DSC’s in them, 29 had more than 10 DSC’s in them and

in 16 of these 31 there were literally thousands of DSC’s.

All these DSC’s individually and together have a strategy from the enemy

(satan) to destroy the particular person’s life.

Usually, one can assume that demons follow DSC’s into the person’s soul and

body since it is them that hold the particular DSC in its place and give it power.

The following assumptions can therefore be made about the general state of bondage

to satan within the Body of Christ:

3 out of every 4 Christians have DSC’s in them and often more than 10 DSC’s

About 40% (2 out of every 5) of all Christians have literally thousands of DSC’s

in them, each one with an assignment from satan to destroy that Christian in

soul and body

1 A demonic soul copy is a copy of a person’s (still alive or already deceased) soul dimension that has been copied and pasted (by demonic forces) in someone else’s (still alive) soul and body, usually as a result of a blood line curse or as a result of unrepented sin in that person’s life. A DSC always has only an evil intention in the person in whom he/she has been copied. The Hindu’s see this phenomenon as reincarnation but that is a lie from the enemy. The truth is DSC’s that are a scheme from satan to destroy the human race, especially Christians.

2


Let alone the demons and bloodline curses in those Christians that have given

the DSC’s the right to be there in the first place.

If one then take into regard that often these bloodline curses, demons and DSC’s are

generational (or become generational due to unrepented sin), it means that each

following generation may fall into deeper and deeper bondage to satan if the army of

the Lord does not rise up and take a stand and start to do something!

2. Aim and purpose of this programme

The Warrior Programme of Ignited in Christ is aimed at equipping Christians to “set

the captives free”. This is also the calling of our ministry.

Isaiah 58: 6: Is this not the fast that I have chosen:

To lose the bonds of wickedness,

To undo the heavy burdens

To let the oppressed go free

And that you break every yoke?

Every child of God should take serious Jesus’ Great Commission as best set out in Mark

16: 15 – 18:

And He (Jesus) said to them:

Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature

He who believes and is baptised will be saved but he who does not

believe will be condemned

And these signs will follow those who believe:

o In My name they will cast out demons

o They will speak with new tongues

o They will take up serpents

o And if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them

o They will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.

In Matthew 28: 18 – 20 the Great Commission of Jesus is set out as follows:

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying:

All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the

name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you

And I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

In short, if we say we are disciples (active followers) of the Lord Jesus Christ we should

carry on with the work that He did whilst He was on earth. We should imitate Him

and His ministry.

3. What is meant by a “Warrior for Christ”?

In 2 Timothy 2 verses 1 to 13 we read the following about the good soldier for Christ:

Prepared to endure hardship (all things)

Active service in God’s army

Engaged in warfare

Wants to please Him who enlisted him as a soldier

Do not entangle himself with the affairs of this life

Prepared to suffer trouble even as an evildoer, even to the point of chains (but

the word of God is not chained)

For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him,

If we endure, we shall also reign with Him

If we deny Him, He also will deny us

If we are faithless, He remains faithful – He cannot deny Himself.

Some disciples of Jesus Christ are currently being called up by Him in this time and

season to serve as soldiers in His end-time army. Do you hear the Call???? Will you

respond and enlist in His army????

4. Who may enrol for this programme?

Any believer in Jesus Christ who takes their role as an active disciple of Jesus Christ

seriously.

We merely recommend that you read these books since it will definitely help

you as a Warrior of Christ. No tests or checks (whether you have indeed read

the books) will be made. We trust that if you take the Call seriously, you will

also take seriously the fact that you need to learn certain things that will make

you a better Warrior. This is however your own responsibility.

5.4 Attending the following training sessions of IIC:

Freemasonry

Demonic Soul Copies – Levels 1 and 2

Kundalini warning

Enemy Within – Bloodline curses

Inner Healing – soul and body

Afrikaner curses (Vow of Blood River, Broederbond & Ossewabrandwag

etc.)

Spiritual roots of illness and disease

Spiritual seed of the Nephilim

We also aim to write a teaching on demonology and spiritual warfare as well

as how to minister in a team to someone (practical hints) – watch this space!

5.5 Getting as much practical experience and exposure of ministry as possible:

Attending the practical part of training sessions on a Sunday

Sitting in in sessions with IIC (in our sole discretion, limited opportunity

available)

Assisting with baptism events and infilling with the Holy Spirit

(All practical exposure will only be allowed by IIC on assumption that 5.1

and 5.2 above have been complied with to IIC’s satisfaction.)

6. When do I become a Warrior for Christ?

The minute you take the decision to follow the calling ….

7. When do I become a part of the Ignited in Christ team of Warriors?

When you have complied with all requirements under 5 above to IIC’s satisfaction;

and

When IIC has accredited you formally on its system (data-base) as an Ignited in

Christ Warrior.

8. What does it entail to be accredited as a Warrior for Christ by Ignited in Christ?

Ministering to people on your own under the banner of Ignited in Christ (upon

certain conditions and regulated by a formal agreement).

Utilisation and distribution all of our training material, DVD’s etc.

Utilisation of our documentation e.g. our questionnaire, agreement etc.

5


Assisting as a warrior at our training courses and during the practical afterwards.

You may not receive any payment from the people you minister to other than

donations. Any donations received may however either be kept or on-donated to

IIC, in your discretion.

You will have to comply with our list of requirements e.g. you may not minister

alone (groups of 2 to 3 are preferred) and a man may not minister to a woman

alone and vice versa etc.

You will have to sign an agreement with IIC containing the terms of the association

as well as an indemnity for IIC and yourself.

As a Warrior for Christ of Ignited in Christ, you will be supported by IIC in the

following ways:

o We will register you on our data base as a “warrior”

o Referral of people to ministered to

o Ongoing prayer support by IIC and your fellow warriors

o Ongoing advice and guidance by IIC

o Ongoing spiritual support by IIC

o Safety net – if you experience a problem that you feel unequipped to handle

(back-referral or discussion)

o Fellowship and being part of the IIC family of Warriors for Christ (at least 1

fellowship event per annum will be arranged for Warriors).

o Learning from each other – at least 2 annual workshops for the Warriors in

order to share knowledge.

9. Will it cost me anything?

Yes. Ignited in Christ is a non-profit company and therefore we do not have a profit

motive. However, we do have various overhead expenditure and we have people that

are full-time in ministry who therefore has no other income. We also need to test

people’s commitment and loyalty in some way to ensure that we will not simply be

abused for what we can offer without any loyalty and support from the people we are

helping and guiding.

To register for this programme costs R200 once off merely to cover our administration

costs and overheads. You may choose to do this programme over 1 or 2 years. If you

take longer than 2 years to complete the programme, you will unfortunately have to

re-register for the programme and again pay R200 registration fee.

Once you have become accredited by us as a Warrior of Ignited in Christ, we would

also ask an annual loyalty fee of R100, simply to show your loyalty and commitment

to the ministry. If the annual fee of R100 is not paid, the Warrior will be removed from

our data-base and our agreement with that Warrior will be cancelled but the Warrior

will still be able to serve and minister to the Body of Christ, independently from IIC.

Any individuals who have serious financial problems and to whom these registration

and loyalty fees are a hindrance to joining the programme, should send us an e-mail

6


to explain the situation. We will then consider to remit you from any fees so as to

enable you to partake in the programme.

10. Qualities of a Warrior for Christ

We should be imitators of Jesus Christ in all we do and therefore, one can list the

following qualities of a Warrior for Christ (non-comprehensive):

10.1 A personal relationship with Jesus Christ

It is not possible to stand in this ministry if you do not have a personal and

intimate relationship with Jesus Christ as your Saviour but also as your friend.

Jesus had an intimate and personal relationship with His heavenly Father

whilst He was on earth.

10.2 A love for the Word of God

A Warrior for Christ should love the Word of God and make it His own (absorb

it into His spirit). The Word of God is one of the spiritual weapons that you will

actively use when ministering to people in Jesus’ name and therefore you have

to ensure that the sword of the Word is kept sharp and shining!

10.3 Know your identity and authority in Christ

The first steps in becoming a Warrior for Christ is to learn your identity in Christ

and secondly to know your authority in Christ.

Jesus knew exactly who He was (the Son of God) and He also knew exactly what

His authority was (as the Son of God all power in heaven and earth was given

to Him by the Father).

10.4 Be baptised as a Believer (full immersion in water) and receive the baptism of

the Holy Spirit

You simply cannot be in this ministry if you have not been obedient to our

Lord’s call to baptism with water and Fire (the Holy Spirit). This process is

where disciples of God receive their spiritual power and identity to be able to

operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus was baptised with water (full immersion) and with Fire (the Holy Spirit)

before He began His ministry on earth.

10.5 Active prayer life

Part of being a Warrior for Christ is to be on your knees as often as possible

and to dedicate special time to intimate fellowship with Jesus.

Jesus often separated Himself from His disciples and the people and went

somewhere alone to talk to His Father.

7


10.6 Heard the Call

Although Jesus has given all of us His great commission, focusing on setting the

captives free by way of inner healing and deliverance must be in response to a

specific call from God. The ministry of healing and deliverance is a war zone (if

you do it right) since the enemy knows the power of this ministry. There is no

other ministry within the Body of Christ that are under as much attack as the

ministry of deliverance and healing (even from inside the Church through the

demons of religion and leviathan!!).

This ministry therefore requires soldiers that have been specially trained by

Jesus in order to be able to cope with the pressures of the battle field. If your

true calling is to rather pack the rat packs for the soldiers at home or to cook

food for them back at base camp, then rather do not enrol as an active soldier.

We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ has established us as a specialised unit

within His end-time army. He wants us to go into spiritual places (war zones)

to rescue and set free the captives (where other soldiers would normally turn

around…).

Jesus knew exactly why He came to the earth and what His assignment from

God the Father was and therefore He was able to obey and persevere even

until death.

10.7 Calculated the cost

Before you say “yes” to Jesus in respect of this calling, please first sit down and

calculate the cost (the words of Jesus Himself in Luke 14:28):

For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and

count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it –

Lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who

see it begin to mock him,

Saying, “This man began to build and was not able to finish”

….. So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot

be My disciple.

This is definitely the road less travelled by Christians but also the road that

leads to the most awesome revelation, break-through and reward! The cost

you may have to pay in your personal life include:

Being rejected and labelled by family and friends as a “lunatic” who

has lost all of his/her “marbles”!

Being criticised for being radical, fundamental or irresponsible

Carrying a spiritual burden with Jesus, although He says that His yoke

is light and that the joy of the Lord is our strength

8


Living in the world but not being of the world

Being prosecuted (spiritually and emotionally) for your faith in any

way possible

Being ostracised by family, friends and even your church

Being attacked occasionally by the enemy in spirit, soul and body

Constantly wrestling with God and man (Gen. 32: 28)

Jesus knew exactly what it would cost Him to obey His Father’s will namely

rejection, persecution and ultimately His life.

Jesus says in Matthew 10: 25: It is enough for a disciple that he be like his

teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the

house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

10.8 Willing to pay the price

Jesus said to His disciples in Matthew 8 and 10 that they must be willing to pay

the full price of discipleship:

Experiencing some discomfort and disgrace (Mat. 8: 20)

Turning your back on your old life (Mat. 8: 22)

Like sheep amongst wolves (Mat. 10: 16)

Persecution (Mat. 10: 17 – 20)

Being hated by everyone for the sake of the name of Jesus (Mat. 10:22)

Disunity between family members (Mat. 10: 34 – 38)

Losing your life for Jesus (Mat. 10: 39)

Complete self-sacrifice (Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice – His body on

the cross)

2 Timothy 3:12: Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer

persecution.

In Mark 8 verses 34 to 38 Jesus said to the people: Whoever desires to come

after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For

whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake

and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole

world and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful

generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the

glory of His Father with the holy angels.

10.9 Boldness

The Lord says in His Word that we must come before the throne of God with

boldness. We can only do this if we realise that Jesus has paid with His Blood

for us to be righteous before the throne of God, irrespective of our weakness

and iniquities (sin).

9


A Warrior that knows this immediately feels worthy for the call since He

realises that it is not about him or her but about Jesus. Because of what He

has done for us on the cross, we can follow in His footsteps and become

Warriors with boldness!

10.10 Fearless – be brave and courageous

In Joshua 5 our Lord Jesus says to Joshua in verses 5 and 9 when He called him

to save the nation of Israel from its enemies:

5: No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as

I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake

you.

9: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage, do not

be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever

you go.

10.11 Meek and humble

We must imitate our Lord Jesus in every way. Although He had all authority

over the darkness and was able to heal every kind of sickness and cast out

every kind of demon whilst on earth, He always remained meek and humble

even unto death. He never retaliated when tempted thereto and was willing

to turn the other cheek.

Jesus was meek and humble even as He knew that He was the Son of God.

We HAVE TO remain humble, to fall into spiritual pride is a classic strategy of

the enemy against ministries that are into deliverance and healing. When

pride creeps in God’s Holy Spirit will withdraw since God says in His Word that

He resists the proud.

10.12 Eager to learn and study – teachable

A Warrior must always be and remain teachable and be ready to learn new

things. A sure sign of pride in a child of God is when that person starts to think

that they know everything and are not prepared to listen to and learn new

things.

Jesus spent the first 30 years of his life learning the Scriptures and the Prophets

to such an extent that when the devil tempted Him in the desert (just after His

ministry began) He was able to answer Him upon every temptation with the

Word!

10.13 Responsible

We must however realise that being a Warrior for Christ is serious business in

the spiritual world. The minute you enrol for this programme you can expect

to be targeted by the enemy since when you take any quality decision for the

10


Lord you can expect to be attacked. You will immediately move up on his “hit-

list”.

This may be a worrying factor to most of you but to us it is actually a

compliment since if the enemy aims at us to take us out, it must surely be

because we are doing something right for Jesus’ Kingdom and are actually a

threat to the enemy’s kingdom of darkness.

You therefore have to live very responsibly as a Warrior of Christ and make

sure that you do not wilfully sin (and if you do, you should immediately repent

for it and ask Jesus to wash you clean with His blood). Listen to what God said

to Joshua when He called him as a warrior:

Joshua 1: 7 and 8: Only be strong and very courageous, that you may

observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant

commanded you: do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left that

you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not

depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that

you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you

will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success.

10.14 Motivated by love and a passion and desire to “heal the broken-hearted”

Your service in God’s Kingdom as a Warrior for Christ must be motivated by

love – your love for God and your love for your fellow man. Jesus says in His

Word that the whole law and the prophets may be summarised in these 2

commands namely to first and foremost love the Lord your God with

everything in you and then also to love your fellow man as you love yourself.

In Luke 4:18 and 19 Jesus referred to the old Scriptures in Isaiah and said:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me

Because He has anointed Me

To preach the gospel to the poor

He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted

To proclaim liberty to the captives

And recovery of sight to the blind

To set at liberty those who are oppressed

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.

Jesus has a heart for broken people. We should have that same heart and

should be motivated by compassion and a desire to see broken people healed.

In 1 Cor. 13: 1 Paul says: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,

but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

11


10.15 Righteousness

This is a very righteous calling. In effect, as Warriors for Christ, you are called

to be attorneys and prosecutors for Jesus Christ in the spiritual realm. As an

attorney you defend another child of God’s case against the enemy who wants

to destroy him and as a prosecutor you fight the case of getting the perpetrator

(satan and his villains (demons)) prosecuted and sentenced in God’s court of

law.

You will learn that the spiritual realm is all about rights. The enemy for example

may not oppress a child of God if either the child of God him- or herself or

his/her forefathers have not given him the right. The right consists of

unrepented sin (or sometimes unhealed trauma) or bloodline curses. Sin is

similar to entering into a contract with satan, thereby giving him certain rights

over your soul and body.

One of the main characteristics of God is that He is righteous and if we follow

into this calling, we also have to take on that characteristic of Jesus and we

have to stand for what is right (according to God’s law) at all times.

10.16 Live a holy life - 100% obedience - Break with personal sin (e.g. addictions,

sexual impurity, unforgiveness, fear etc.)

If you are not prepared to live a holy life in complete obedience to God, do not

enrol as a Warrior for Christ. Any wilful and unrepented sin in your life creates

an open door in the spirit through which the enemy will be able to attack you.

If you are not prepared to break with sin in your own life, it will be like going

into a war zone without any protection. Destruction is bound to follow! God

wants to always protect us but because of His righteous character He can only

protect us as long as we obey Him.

Hear what Peter says in 1 Peter 1 verses 14 to 16: As obedient children, not

conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as he who

called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct because it is written “Be

holy for I am holy.”

There is no place for compromise with sin in any way.

10.17 Loyalty to fellow Warriors and to the Body of Christ

Similar to the situation of when a battalion of soldiers go to war, they should

look out for one another and a soldier should never leave behind his wounded

buddy. Jesus wants us to serve in unity with each other and to be loyal to each

other in everything that is right and just.

12


10.18 Always strive towards peace and unity in the Body of Christ

It is not good to be alone in this calling and God knows this. We should

therefore strive to live in peace and unity with our fellow warriors. No

infighting, bickering or quarrelling is allowed. Although it is only human that

we may pick up differences with our brothers and sisters in Christ from time to

time, it should always be resolved in a Godly way. Jesus Himself said (Mat.

5:9): “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of God.”

10.19 Immunity against rejection

We can guarantee you that if you follow this calling, you will be rejected, even

by some fellow-Christians! Rejection is a cancer in our society and can cause

children of God to really act in a seriously ungodly way e.g. to take offense and

retaliate etc. You therefore have to ask Jesus to strengthen and protect you

against rejection with His blood in such a way that you will almost become

immune against rejection and will not take offense when criticised or ridiculed

(even by the people who are the closest to you).

10.20 Keeping a healthy balance and drawing of fences

It is of the utmost importance that warriors should live balanced lives and that

includes taking proper care of their bodies and souls by way of proper and

regular exercise, a healthy diet and sufficient rest and relaxation.

Also remember that your wife and children (or near ones) were given to you

before you received this calling from the Lord and it is never God’s will that

your family should be neglected as a result of your obedience to this calling.

Ensure therefore that you give ample time and attention where it is needed so

that holy family soul ties do not get damaged.

However, no husband or wife or child should ever be in a position to prevent

us from following the call of God on our lives. Jesus himself said in Matthew

10:37:

He who loves father and mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.

And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

Always guard against burn-out. Pace yourself carefully and rest when you have

to. Do not allow people or circumstances to manipulate or abuse you. Be a

God pleaser and not a people pleaser!

10.21 Non-profit

Jesus said: “Freely you have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8). We are

therefore convinced that no one should ask for money before they minister to

someone. Money or compensation should play no role in following this

13


calling. If you are not prepared to do it for free, then do not do it. Money

usually distorts things and are often the root of evil. This is something you

have to do merely because of your love of God and for your fellow man.

You may however receive donations of any kind. If you receive a donation and

are not full time in ministry, please consider on-donating the funds (or at least

a percentage there of) to Ignited in Christ or any other Christian ministry that

are solely depending on donations for its continued existence.

11. If I accept the call of Jesus to become a spiritual warrior and would like

Ignited in Christ to guide and help me, what should I do next?

If you say “yes” to Jesus’ call to become a warrior for him and you want to be

raised up as a warrior trough an association with Ignited in Christ, then simply

send Deborah an e-mail ([email protected]) asking to be enlisted as

a Warrior for Christ and also make payment of your registration fee into our

bank account. Our banking details are on our webpage under “about us”.

You will then be kept abreast of all developments in the warrior programme,

will be invited to all of our training and we will also assist you in getting hold

of the books that you need to read. When you attend our training sessions,

you will be identified as a Warrior and upon completion of the programme and

accreditation as a Warrior for Christ, you will have the option to purchase a T-

Shirt with Ignited in Christ’s logo on it as well as the inscription “Warrior for

Christ” and “Ignited in Christ”. Only then will you formally be considered as

part of the Ignited in Christ army of end-time warriors.

We look forward to this programme and sharing it with you. Although this is

still in its infancy, we believe that the Lord has great plans for it and that you

will all be raised up as mighty and fearless Warriors in His end time army!

ALL PRAISE AND HONOUR TO YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO ARE CALLING US

UP TO FOLLOW YOU!

Revelation 19: 11 – 16

AND THE END-TIME ARMY OF THE LORD SAYS: “YES AND AMEN LORD JESUS!”
