gifts, talents, strengths, armor, light of Christ, and the Spirit to overcome Satan, while trying not to do too much damage to ourselves or others. Returning with honor means we have fought a good fight and returned home victorious.
When all is said and done, our Heavenly Father wants to be proud of us and our actions for overcoming our trials and challenges while honestly trying to do our best. He knows we will get bruised and sometimes beaten (overcome). God just doesn’t want us to dance with the Devil most of our life and then at the end think we can just repent (on our death bed), say we’re sorry and feel we are worthy to receive our eternal reward as heirs. He understands that we will mess up many times in our lives. But He doesn’t want us to abuse our free agency and hurt others deeply. Returning with honor is basically repenting for our wrongs, striving to do better, and being honest while doing it.
What righteous king would crown a prince or princess who wasted their quest to living it up in sin, revenge, murder, selfishness, and all other acts conceived by Satan? God wants us to give our best efforts and repent when we fall. He wants us to build character, find compassion, love the less fortunate, fight for the weak and humbly seek His guidance, so we can return with honor.
After our Heavenly Father’s final counsel to each of us, He sends us on our way to begin our quest here on Earth. He tells us it is a quest that will never be matched. One with mists of darkness, dragons, deception, temptation, cliffs, uphill battles, scrapes, cuts, wounds, narrow paths, dark dungeons and evil lurking everywhere. Though Satan has planned well for trying to make us fail, God gave us what we would need to succeed: The armor of God, light of Christ, strengths, talents, gifts, the Spirit, prayer, family, and, ultimately, Jesus Christ our Savior.
Your Quest Begins
Your first quest is to gather proof that you are a child of God and that you are of royal birth. You can find this out by reading the scripture below, praying and noticing how you feel.
Remember in Romans 8:17 the Bible tells us, “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ. Ask God if this is true.
Your second quest is to write down how you feel about being an heir of God. Write down how it makes you feel to know you are a prince or princes of the Heavenly King. What does knowing this do for your confidence and self-esteem? Would you treat yourself better and make wise chooses if you knew you were royalty? Picture yourself as Royalty here on Earth, would your life be different? Why?
Your third quest is to ask God if Satan is real. Is he our enemy and the one we must conquer? Write down how knowing Satan is real will help you when temptation comes.
Will knowing that Satan wants you to fail make you want to succeed even more? What does knowing Satan wants to knock you off your potential throne and be as miserable as him do for you?
Your final quest is to ask if this quest is real, if you are on this Earth to be tested to prove yourself worthy as an heir in His Kingdom. Then write down how many pieces of the armor of God you are currently using. If you are not currently using many, commit to adding some in your life.
As we invite God in our life, and use the tools He has given, we will not only feel closer and more secure with Him, but stronger in defeating the dragon, Satan.
You are of royal birth
You did succeed in your first quest
You are strong enough to succeed in your second quest here on Earth
The Purpose of Life
E xcitement filled the air as we were getting ready to leave the presence of our Heavenly Father, the King of Heaven and Earth, to begin our quest—a quest unmatched to anything we had been through thus far. This quest on Earth is for continued freedom of choice, for knowledge, for learning and growth, and, ultimately, to be heirs to the Kingdom of God.
