Stage Two: Squire/Lady

---

 “Taking Up the Sword”

Having laid the foundation as a Soldier or Maiden, you are now called to take up the sword of faith as a Squire or Lady. This stage is about growth, deeper understanding, and embracing the battles both within and without. The challenges you face now will be harder, requiring a stronger connection to God and greater discipline in your spiritual practices.

In this stage, you will dive deeper into spiritual warfare, face the war within between the flesh and the spirit, and discover how to endure temptation with victory. 

The filling of the Holy Spirit will become your power and presence, while you learn to walk in obedience, build spiritual strength, and serve others as a disciple. As you grow, you will sharpen your spiritual skills through prayer, worship, and the application of spiritual disciplines.

Remember, the path of a Squire/Lady is one of maturing faith and endurance. Take up the call to fight not just for yourself but for others, breaking strongholds and walking in the power of the Spirit. Prepare yourself, for you are being molded into a warrior for God's Kingdom.
