Are you tired? Do feel defeated in this life? Are you physically exhausted? Is everyday life a struggle? Maybe you cannot get out of bed, or maybe you believe that your life is a mistake. Have you ever asked the questions "How on earth did I get here?" or, "Where is God?" Have you ever said, "This was not my plan" or, "I had a dream, but somewhere along the path of brokenness, rejection, fear, betrayal, addiction, abuse..." "I have lost my way and lost my dream." Or this thought "It's too late for me, I have nowhere to go."
If so, you are holding the Field Manual that will empower you to again stand up, to again feel motivated, and to start fighting an enemy that you may not have known was after you.
You may have never been addressed as a soldier, but from this point forward, that is how I will address you. You have probably been called many things in your life, "worthless, useless, weak or not good enough." However, I am here to show you the truth, and the truth is that as a believer in Christ, you belong to an Army of war heroes - and you amount to far more than the lies you may have heard prior to opening up this Field Manual.
Maybe this Field Manual is your last resort, your last cry for help and hope. You are desperate and broken, and you just want to be free from all the pain and the confusion. Is the battle killing you? I have been exactly where you are.
Let me share a scripture that may help awaken you to the battle you are facing. I quote Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." What if I told you, that you were in a spiritual battle? What if Satan was real? What if I told you he is the father of lies, and he fills our head daily with negative thoughts? What if I told you he comes to kill, steal and destroy you? What if he was after you, your family and children? What would you do? The Bible says, "Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour"(1 Peter 5:8). If this is true, it sounds like we are in a war, a battle for our lives, family and generations to come. We call this Spiritual Warfare.
You may be asking yourself, "How do I win this battle? "What if I could give you an armor that would guarantee victory over Satan in your life? I hope your combat boots are ready, because this deployment is going to change your life. You are about to wear such armor!
HOW TO USE THIS FIELD MANUAL
What is a Field Manual? Militaries often supply their troops with various field manuals that are meant to be read and reviewed on the battlefield. Without the luxury and safety of a classroom back in their home country, soldiers can turn to a field manual when information is needed quickly. Field manuals typically have fewer pages than instructional books, and topics range from how to perform maintenance on a weapon, to survival and evasion, to operations in certain terrain features. In war zones today, you will find field manuals in rucksacks, combat vehicles, and any number of other places where soldiers can open the pages quickly, be reminded of the procedures and tactics, and then get back to the fight.
This BrokenNoMore Field Manual is written with much the same intent. In it, you will find the procedures needed to get your fighting gear back together, focus your scattered and emotional brain, and then stand back up and fight.
The procedures for using this manual are straight-forward:
Step #1: Duck. The barrages of life are coming fast, and you need to carve out a few hours or days to complete this manual.
Step #2: Follow the steps in order from 1 to 12. Do not skip any, and do not modify the process. The steps are designed to build upon one another.
Step #3: Get up and fight. Now that you are back in shape, look around for fellow soldiers who need this training. Grab them before it is too late for them.
