I AM A SOLDIER!

I am a soldier in the army of my God! The Lord Jesus Christ is my commanding officer! The Bible is my code of conduct! Faith, prayer, and the Word are my weapons of warfare!

I am a volunteer in this army and I am enlisted for eternity! I will either retire from this army at the Rapture or die in this army, but I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out! I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity, and tested by fire!

I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable! If my God needs me, I am there! If He needs me to teach children in Sunday School, to work with 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, 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! No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards, 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 can not 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, I will still break 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 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 captain and then bring me back to rule this world with Him! I am a soldier in God's army, I will never surrender to the Enemy! I will never turn back! I am a soldier, marching heavenward, claiming victory as I go!

Here I stand! Will you stand with me?

Guess what? If you've accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you're already enlisted!

Question is, which part of the service are you in:

1. ACTIVE DUTY: Serving the Lord faithfully, daily, and on duty 24-7?

2. GUARD STATUS: Backing up the Active Duty group?

3. RESERVE STATUS: Serving only when called upon or twice a year: Christmas and Easter? or

4. AWOL! Absent with out the Lord?
