"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 at the end of time, or die in
it; 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. If He needs me to teach a class, to
teach my neighbor, to help someone in need, or just to 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 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 aside. I
cannot lose enough to cause me to quit. When Jesus called me
into this army, I had nothing materially. If I end up with
nothing, I will still come out ahead. I will win spiritually.
My God has supplied my needs, and will continue to supply all
of 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, because I'm safe
in my Savior.

I am a soldier. Even death cannot destroy me. For when my
commander calls me from this battlefield, He will promote me,
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 turn around. I am a soldier, and I am heaven bound, and
here I stand! Will you stand with me as a good soldier of Jesus
Christ?
