Preface

As I write this book, I’m unknown around the world, the United States, and even in my own city. I’m writing Weapons of Kings because I sincerely believe I’ve been inspired to do so and that it will greatly help all those who study it and apply the revelation within its pages. Just like anyone else, I journey through the same steps to grow. I'm being fruitful in producing this book. I intend to multiply that fruit by duplicating it at least several thousand times. Based on the interest and demand for Weapons of Kings, I will distribute it anywhere in the world. As the readers benefit, and the exposure of the content increases, I pray it activates that battle-ready segment of culture: those looking to discover, operate, and maximize their gifts for good. I'm excited just thinking about it! I pray these ideas impact you the way they have impacted me.

Introduction

Who likes a good Fight? I know I do. Recently retired Floyd Mayweather, who is an American boxing champion, would be considered an icon in the sport of boxing today. He’s made hundreds of millions of dollars fighting in pay per view fights. How you ask? Because for years, people around the world have paid to watch his matches. Evidently, I’m not the only one who likes a good scrap. Another perfect place to look if you like fights is the Bible. For instance, in the Old Testament, it’s almost a non-stop blood bath. It’s this person killing that person, this nation against that nation, the Israelites being taken captive and made slaves; on and on we go! In the New Testament writings, we slow some in terms of the number of wars mentioned, yet the conflict is still quite evident. It can seem that the discord here, although at times still bloody, is more subtle, systematic, and sinister. The feeling one can get is that the culture established then is less brute force and more mind and people management oriented. I believe in some ways, it is very similar to the world we live in today.

As we enter into our time together, I believe it is crucial to get some fundamental ideas on the table. When I use the word King, it is not gender-exclusive to males. I intend it to include both male and females because both were created by God with purpose, power, and potential. The use of the word serves to elevate our thinking as people who are a royal priesthood, 1Peter 2:9; made to reign through righteousness, Romans 5:21. Simply put, I'm saying you’re significant and special. So, when I say the word King, several ideas come to mind: a ruler; one who has oversight, decision maker, and authority. Obviously, if you’re a King, then you have to have something to ruler over; some territory, area, district, city, state, or Kingdom.

Being King is Great, but no Kingdom is established or maintained without warfare. Because of the reality of battle, at some point, every Kingdom would have weapons within it to defend and advance it. In the same way, God has given us weapons to fight, defend, and He advances our lives for His purposes. These weapons often aren’t seen by the natural eye and the mastery of them will happen from the inside out: more on this later. A central truth that we all need to capture is that all of us have gifts where we have the potential to be dominant and achieve greatness; just like a King. But for us to achieve our full potential, there is a process we must all go through to get there. There will be obstacles we have to fight and overcome.

But how do we fight and what weapons do we use? Have you ever heard the adage don’t bring a knife to a gunfight? The point is you need to have the appropriate tool for the situation you’re facing. If someone fired a missile toward your house, having a gun would do you no good. So, then the key would be to know what weapons you have access to and how to use them based on the scenarios we face. If we can begin to master this idea, we could win any fight. Am I saying we should use guns and missiles to kill everyone and everything in our way to achieve our purpose? No! We use different kinds of weapons; many of which you can’t see. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 says; For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.

What is that saying? We use different kinds of weapons to fight and win. Ephesians 6 talks about the fitting of a soldier, spiritually speaking, getting for ready battle. Within that passage, we see a defense against the missiles of the enemy being described and using the Shield of Faith to stop them. Invisible tools come from within you to bring you into victory. I believe we achieve purpose and passion by winning from the inside out. Weapons of Kings is more of a being book than a doing book although it does have practical strategies within it that will take effort. My intention is not to be completely exhaustive in my description of the spiritual tools that we have or to be intensively theological. I only hope to provide what I believe are the core tools that have impacted my life the most. Also, I provide some practical framework on how we can use them to overcome personal and professional barriers. Our greatest victories are achieved with our ability to become. Being transformed by the
