#194 I Am A Soldier in God's Army

A blessed and reflective reading to all :)

(this beautiful poem was read by our guest speaker- Dr. John Caldwell (President of the International Conference on Missions) in our church today in lieu of the theme for the year's mission month-- 

"Here Am I Send Me."- Isaiah 6:8)

May we all be inspired and be a willing missionary wherever we are :)

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, or pushed out. 

I am faithful, reliable, capable and dependable. 

If my God needs me, I am there. 

If He needs me in the Sunday school, to teach the 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! 

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 ahead. 

I will win. 

My God has 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. 

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 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, marching heaven bound. 

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. Reserve status: 

                         Serving only when called upon or 2x a year, Christmas       and Easter?

3. Guard status: 

                         Backing up the Active Duty group?

4. AWOL! Absent without the Lord?

THINK ABOUT IT!!!


2 Timothy 3
New International Version (NIV)1 But mark this: 

There will be terrible times in the last days. 

2 People will be lovers of themselves, 

lovers of money, 

boastful, 

proud, 

abusive, 

disobedient to their parents, 

ungrateful, 

unholy, 

3 without love, 

unforgiving, 

slanderous, 

without self-control, 

brutal, 

not lovers of the good, 

4 treacherous, 

rash, 

conceited, 

lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. 

Have nothing to do with such people.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

A Final Charge to Timothy 

10 You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

It is our calling!!! May we all respond to Him for the spread of His Kingdom, Amen!

May Jesus' love abounds in us all everyday (".)

Today is the day :)
If you have not received Jesus Christ yet in your heart, today is the day. May you embrace His love and His gift :)


"Lord Jesus, I believe You are truly the Son of God. I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. Please forgive all my wrongdoing, and let me live in relationship with You from now on. I receive You as my personal Savior, accepting the work You accomplished once and for all on the cross. Thank You for saving me. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. Amen." (ref prayer by: Dr. Charles Stanley, InTouch Ministry)

Why am I doing this? 
Simple...."I am driven by the eternal destiny of others."
