I Am A Soldier
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, and I am 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 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 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 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 around. I cannot be discouraged 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 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. I am a soldier, in the Army, 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! Will you stand with me?
