I AM A SOLDIER

I am a soldier in the Army of my God.

The Lord Jesus Christ is my Commander-in-Chief.

My church leaders are my superior officers.

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,

And I am enlisted for Eternity.

I will either retire in this Army at the Rapture

Or die doing my duty to this Army;

But I will not get out,

Sell out,

Be talked out,

Or pushed out.

By the grace of God,

I am faithful,

Reliable,

Capable

And dependable.

If my God commands me,

I am there.

If He needs me in the Sunday School,

To teach the children,

Work with the youth,

Help adults

Or just sit and learn,

He can use me

Because I am there!

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 phone 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 my orders,

Praising His name,

And doing battle for 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,

Or catered to.

I am committed.

I cannot have my feelings hurt

Bad enough to turn me around.

I cannot be discouraged enough

To turn me aside.

I cannot lose enough

To cause me to quit.

When Jesus called me into His Army,

I had nothing spiritually.

If I end up with nothing physically,

I will still come out ahead.

I will win.

My God has and will continue

To supply all of my needs.

I am more than a conqueror.

I will triumph ultimately.

I can do all things through Christ.

The devil cannot defeat me.

People cannot disillusion me.

Weather cannot weary me.

Sickness cannot discourage 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 Captain

And then allow me to rule with Him.

I am a soldier in the Army,

And I'm marching, claiming victory.

I will not give up.

I will not look back.

I am a soldier,

Marching Heaven bound.

Here I stand!

Will you stand with me?

Will you enlist by trusting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

If you already have, be sure you are reporting to your Commander with a:

"Here am I, send me, Sir!"
