Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangles him with the affairs of this life: that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. II Timothy 2:3,4
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. The Word of God, faith and prayer 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 service. I will not get out. sell out, be talked out. I am Faithful, Capable and dependable. AMEN
If my God needs me I am there. If He needs me in Sunday School to teach the children, to work with the youth, help adults, or just sit and learn. I'm available. He can use me because I will be there. I am a soldier, I am not a baby in need of being pampered, petted, primed 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 and I am in place.
Saluting my King, obeying His orders, Praising his name and building HIS KINGDOM is my mission. I am a soldier. No one has to send me flowers, cards, gifts, candy, or give me handouts. I don't need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, or catered to; I am committed.
I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around. I cannot be discouraged enough to sit aside. I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit. AMEN
When the Lord 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 who strengthens me. Amen
I am a soldier; devils cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me. Battles cannot defeat 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 HIS army. I am marching, claiming victory. I will NOT give up. I will not turn around. I am a soldier, marching, heaven bound. Here I stand-please, come and stand with me.
