I am a Soldier

In the services at CCofVa. we often speak of serving God and compare the process to that of the military way of life. Paul said more than once we are in a war!
Ephesians 6:12
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

This writing that follows sums it up very well.......

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 experience,
Tried by adversity,
And tested by fire.

I am a volunteer in this army, enlisted for eternity.
I will either retire in this army, or die in this army.
But, I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out.
I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable.
If my God needs me, I am here.

I am a soldier. I am not a baby.
I do not need to be 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 solider!
I am not a wimp.
I am on duty, saluting my King.

Obeying His orders, praising His name, and building His Kingdom.
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, or catered to.
I am committed.
I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me 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 even.
I will win!
My God will supply all my needs.
I am more than a conqueror.
I will always triumph.
I can do all things through Christ.

Devils cannot defeat me.
People cannot disillusion me.
Weather cannot deter 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.
I am a soldier, in the army.
I¹m marching, claiming victory.
I will not give up.
I will not retreat.
I am a soldier, marching Heaven bound.
Here I stand!
Will you stand with me, or against me?
