Then, the General stands and says, “Warriors do not entangle themselves. If we all become millionaires during this campaign, God will be pleased, but He will tolerate no entanglements. If the campaigns bring Him Glory, not us, and we are to be a Remnant like Gideon’s, we cannot win because of overwhelming force but finishing obedience.”

When we start the discussion, we attempt to “go back” to “Early Church” practices. We hope to find some extra-Biblical sources to help us determine what to do about choosing a leadership model. After having decided to ignore the Bible’s model for leadership, we conclude we need a model.

A pure revelation from Father, without proper prophetic process, becomes the basis for several horrifying errors, ending with the person receiving the revelation using the revelation to communicate satanic sentiments.

When you live in and are assigned to a fathering nation, escape from international-level warfare is impossible.

Moses has nothing to say about how to judge prophets. Moses discusses how God will replace him with another leader with an inerrant communication from face-to-face, Divinely-inspired speech, and how they will know if this person actually fills the bill.

These are moments when the essence of you meets the Essence of God.

When these prophets struggled to create communication—step 2 of the process—they start telling people they are not authorized to lead what they think God said. But they cannot lead at the level and scope of their communication, so they are left to jump to conclusions and confusions.

God preserves nations in whom He still has hope through a Remnant that His intended purposes will be restored, expanded, and fulfilled.

To reveal the heart of this process, the presuppositions of involved intercession, Paul says, “We do not know how to pray what is necessary to get God what He wants, so Holy Spirit helps us.”

To say an armorbearer carries my Bible is just plain silly. It reveals a level of silliness in the leaders who abuse people with this kind of nonsense. If you can’t even carry your own Bible because you are too stupid to organize your life, giving a living, breathing adult that task, so you can look superior, is a mockery. Then, screaming at them if your glasses aren’t in front of you reveals you are a narcissistic bozo, not a great general.
