I Am A Soldier

I Am A Soldier

II Timothy 2:3-4
"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangled himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a solider."

I am a soldier in the army of my God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is my commanding officer.
The Holy Bible is my code of conduct.

Faith, prayer, and the Word are my weapons of warfare.
I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by
adversity, and tested by fire.

I am a volunteer in this army. I am enlisted for eternity. I will either retire in this army at the Rapture or die in this army. I will no get out, sell out, be talked out. I am faithful, capable, and dependable.

If my God needs me, I am there. If He needs me in Sunday school to teach children, to work with youth, help adults, or just sit and learn, He can use me because I will be there!

I am a soldier. I am not a baby. I am not in need of being pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, picked up.or pepped up. I am a soldier. No one has to call me, remind me, write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me.

I am a soldier. I am not a wimp. I am in place, saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising His name, and building His kingdom!

I am a soldier. No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards, candy or give me handouts. I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, catered to. I am committed!

I cannot have my feelings hurt badly enough to turn me around. I cannot be discouraged enough to turn aside. I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit.

When Jesus called me into this army, I had nothing. If I end up with nothing, I will still come out ahead. I will win. God will supply all my needs. I am more than a conqueror. I will always triumph. I can do all things through Christ.

I am a soldier. Devils cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me.

Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me. Governments cannot silence me. And hell cannot handle me!!

I am a soldier. Even death cannot destroy me. For when my commander calls me from this battlefield. He will promote me to a captain. And then bring me back to rule this World with Him.

I am a soldier in the army. And I'm marching, claiming victory. I will not give up. I will not turn around.

I am a soldier, marching, heaven bound. Here I stand!!
