THE ARMY OF GOD
Equipping Christians for Joy, Peace and Life
Epilogue
Epilogue
To enlist in the Army of God you need to have accepted Jesus Christ and you must be baptised (complete submersion) in the name of the Father, the Son and the Spirit. You must forgive everyone who has ever done any wrong to you and you must make a conscious decision to never remember their sins against you again. (Hard Work – but in time you will get it right)
To fight in the Army of God you need to apply what is in the Word of God. God has highlighted how to apply many things in His Word in this book. But this remains just a book and the Bible remains the Word of Life handed down through the ages whose words were given by God and whose words are guarded by God.
I strongly recommend either the King James Bible 1611 or if that is a little difficult to understand then the New International Version as the closest English Bibles to the original texts from which the Bible of 66 books is made up.
satan cannot stop us; he and the demonic forces are terrified of us. The only tool satan has is to lie. Do not trust the world or your senses when they contradict the Bible which is the only real truth in existence in our physical world.
Finally I ask, no I plead with you. Do not make of me any more than what I am. God chose me to pass on this message to you. There is no difference between you and I. You are more likely a better person than I. This may be the talent I have been given. But you have talents too. Use them in the service of God. And may the Love of God, the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the guidance, strength, comfort, and peace of the Holy Spirit be on, in and around you and remain with you through all the battles you must still face in His service.
If I never get to see you this side of Heaven, I look forward to meeting you there. Because I love all my brothers and sisters, I am so blessed. I have so many. And if you are my brother or sister, guess what? So do you. About 2,000,000,000 on earth as at 2006 and untold billions awaiting the marriage feast of the lamb in Heaven right now.

Our Father, who lives in Heaven,
Holy and Mighty is Your Name,
Please make Earth your Kingdom, just as Heaven is,
And show me what you want me to do to make Your Will on Earth,
Forgive me for all I have done to others and to You,
I forgive everyone who has in any way sinned against me,
and I will not dwell on their sin again.
I ask that you too no longer remember my sins.
(But only to the extent I have forgiven others)
Do not allow me to be misguided or mislead into evil,
and strengthen my resolve to flee from evil,
and places where evil is practiced,
Deliver me from all those who would seek to trap me,
and misuse me because I am Yours,
You are the Beginning and the End,
The Ever living and Eternal God,
Jesus Christ is Your Son,
Jesus paid for me to become your child,
and I Thank You and Him for that,
I also thank Your Holy Spirit for
teaching,
guiding
and comforting me.
Your Kingdom is the only one I recognise,
Your Authority is the only one I refuse to disobey,
For you have the Power and the Glory throughout the entire Universe,
and the greatest feats of man cannot even get out of our solar system.
I Worship You Almighty Father and give all the Honour to You forever.
Your (“2 year old mentality and personality”) child,
in constant need of your forgiveness and love.
Rick Evans
May your Kingdom take over Earth and make it like Heaven.

Most of all I acknowledge my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ for coming to my rescue on so many occasions and defeating the evil one when everything around me appeared to be stacked against me trying to stop me continuing His work. I thank you Holy Spirit for the quiet comfort and guidance, for the assurance that I was doing the Father’s will and for strength to continue against the odds. My Father who loves me despite me taking so long and failing time and time again. I acknowledge His hand upon me and that many times I had to go back and address the quality.

PS: Here follows an e-mail I sent to the minister of our church – to of the leaders are proof reading the book for me and this is what happened on the morning of
Hi Dean,
We missed each other at church on Sunday but what a stunning breakthrough picture.
For the last 3 odd years, as you know, I have had so many pictures about the church where many were locked up in their own little bubbles and were not accepting God’s salvation totally.
During the praise and worship the following happened: I again sensed that thick blanket over the church as I have many times before and I saw a sort of smog where the roof should have been. I immediately switched to full spiritual attack mode (we can go into details another time and in prayer prayed against the source of this. The more I prayed the more the focus of the smog became directed at me.
I prayed that God Almighty would cause His Holy Spirit to rain through the gaps the smog was leaving and touch the people. He did and the rain dissolved the smog above me too. I was relieved but immediately thereafter a distress that I cannot explain. It was a suffocating pain in my chest. It was caused by seeing many people in the church opening their umbrellas so that the Holy Spirit would not be able to enter thier personal space.
I cried out to God and asked when this was going to stop. By this time I was “snot and trane” and my tissues were pretty much sogged out.
He asked me how much I was prepared to give up, to have this problem solved.
I answered “You know how much I love these people. You know how much I want to see them saved and operating in the power of Your love, I would give anything you ask.”
The picture changed and people around those with umbrellas began to turn too the ones with the umbrellas and loved them and shared with them – one by one they folded up their umbrellas.
The Father said to me – “how badly do you want this”. I replied in between sobs of joy “with all my heart. You know how much I want to see Your people come home to You.”
Then when DJ (our minister) mentioned the card for needs I knew it was from this book God had asked me to write and from our discussions.
I knew what God was saying - He was asking me to give up any worldly claim I might have thought I had to this concept and to the book – I am still to publish it because it belongs to God and not to man – No church organisation may lay claim to it either. I have done this, and I just want you all to know. The concept belongs to Jesus. He brought it to earth and taught it to us in the gospels. He allowed us to see it in the early chapters of Acts and then it seems to not be focussed on so strongly until Revelations.
What a breakthrough!!!!
The Army of God is on the move!!!!
May the God of Heaven be praised for revitalising His Will in our church and may the Lord of “Freely, freely, Give” move us from strength to strength.
