I AM A SOLDIER

Used with permission
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
at the rapture
or die in this Army;
but I will not get out, sell out,
be talked out,
I am faithful, capable, and
dependable.
If My God needs me,
I am there.
If He needs me in Sunday school to
teach 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
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!
I am a soldier.
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.
I am a soldier.
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
and then bring me back to rule this
world with Him.
I am a soldier in the
Army,
and 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?
