Raising a Modern Day Knight Ceremony

I thought I would share my notes from our Recent RMDK Ceremony for Desmond. It was an awesome time of faith and calling him to serve Christ.


Brothers we are at war, in a fight for our eternal lives and for the eternal lives of our family and friends.

Ephesians 6:12-14 (New International Version)

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For 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. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

In the study we learned the each man has three things that he is called to do to reach significance. To feel as though he has met the goal of his life.

They are:
A Willingness to obey, obey god and your elders
A job or task to accomplish, gods plan for your life
a woman to love, help mate to raise a family in the name of God

We also learned the a man of god has four core expectation

• To REJECTS PASSIVITY/ do not stand by on the sidelines get in the help.

• To ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY/ Only you have the power to make the right choice for you life.

• To LEADS COURAGEOUSLY/ stand firm in your beliefs and lead others to Christ through your willingness to serve.

• To EXPECT THE GREATER REWARD, GOD’S REWARD

2 Timothy 4:7-8

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to one, but also to all who have loved his appearing.

"Make vows to the Lord your God, and fulfill them." (Psalm 76:11)

Vow of the Knights of the Round table
from King Arthur

I vow in GOD'S HOLY NAME:
To fear GOD and defend the realm with honor and with might;
to do battle against all evil doers, but never in a wrong cause.
I will defend the helpless, protect all women,
and be merciful to all men.
I will honor my words and speak no slander.
I will be true in brotherhood and faithful in love.
All this I do in the HOLY NAME OF ALMIGHTY GOD.

We are in a fight for our Eternal lives, pick up the Sword of the Spirit, and stand fearless in the Gap for your family. As Jesus Christ did for you on the Cross, He stood in the gap and choose death so that we might live.
