Ready for Action
We must stop accepting and permitting the many lies and falsehoods that are now in our lives and in our societies. Watching the effects of personal choices makes it obvious that one of the most important battles in life is to make a conscious effort to fight for and to defend righteousness, truth, and purity while living in a world full of sin, falsehood, and evil which is defended by enemies and pseudo-enemies. It is not until one pursues purity that one recognizes the amount of corruption in the world and how much the world, and even believers, do not want to hear or are scared of truth but would prefer a fictional world.

When we oppose evil by standing for truth, honesty, and correction, persecution can follow in many possible forms including the loss of friends, slander, restrictions, oppression, and, at the extreme, death. It can be a test of courage and endurance, but to surrender and even ignore falsehood and evil is not an option, because accepting a lie will bring the consequences of a lie just as fighting for truth will bring the consequences of truth.
Training Summary
When we realize falsehood is destroying our lives, then we should get rid of it, seek the truth, and share the truth with others. Being a teacher of righteousness, a messenger of truth, and a restorer of what the enemy has stolen is one of the great contributions I can accomplish in this lifetime and it seems the best people to reach are the children.

Persevering Through Persecution
When we oppose evil by standing for truth, honesty, and correction, persecution can follow in many possible forms including the loss of friends, slander, restrictions, oppression, and, at the extreme, death. The more you become a spokesperson for truth, purity, and righteousness the more the vast masses of people who favor, love, and enjoy evil will hate you because of what you represent.
Helping the Poor Summary
Helping others where they lack physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually is a calling for all believers. To help them grow in the Kingdom by sharing the spiritual and helping them cleanse and repent so that they have peace and hope is greater still.
Mantle of Zeal Summary
It can be a test of courage and endurance, but to surrender, and even ignoring, to falsehood and evil is not an option, because accepting a lie will bring the consequences of a lie just as fighting for truth will bring the consequences of truth. Winning the battle means helping others know the Almighty, encouraging righteousness, and even knocking down the strongholds of evil. The salvation of people is far more valuable than our own comfort and possessions.
