I want to repent and turn my life around for Christ. I want to wholly embody the path of the Templar. Beyond repentance and prayer for guidance,where do I begin? What traits do I need to adopt? Where do I turn for guidance? Is there an oath that needs sworn,sacrifices need made? Any guidance is appreciated. I feel alone in this.
You are NOT alone. Many of us struggle, especially in this day and age.
The path of the warrior is not a simple or an easy one, and that of a holy warrior, or warrior monk is even more difficult. Repentance is the first step on a journey of a thousand miles, and prayer is the water of your journey, but you will need the bread of scripture as well. You need to be prepared to dedicate your life to God, to change, because what you have been doing is not working, and to continue on that path will only lead to pain. You can not merely repent, you can not simply be born again. You must die, and you must kill. You must die to the world and kill who you were before, metaphorically.
Oaths and sacrifices come later on, but the change needs to be gradual or it will fail. Traits that you should work on include humility, temperance, honesty, patience, duty, courage, and valor.
I am part of a warrior ministry that can offer further, more specific to your situation guidance if you come off anon and message me.
