"I Am a Soldier"

"I Am a Soldier"

I am a soldier in the Lord's Army.

The King of kings and Lord of lords, the Chief Shepherd Jesus Christ is my Commander-in-Chief.

I am an “Intel” soldier -relying my information on the ones provided by the Holy Spirit and fellow intel soldiers.

I am also a “Communication” soldier who listens to the radio message of the Bible and talks to the Chief via direct communication called prayer.

The Word is my code of conduct.

I wear the Armor of God.

The belt of truth...

The body armor of God's righteousness.

The boots of peace...

The shield of faith...

The helmet of salvation...

The sword of the Spirit aka the Word of God... 

Faith, Prayer, Praise, Giving thanks and the Word are my weapons of Warfare.

I am being taught by the Holy Spirit and the Invisible Church,

    ...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 never retire in this Army for true soldiers never die;

But, I will not get out,

    ...sell out

    ...be talked out

    ...or pushed out

By the evil one.

I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable.

If my God needs me, I am there. ( loving God )

If my fellow brother or sister needs me, I am there. ( loving my family )

If my neighbors / allies needs me, I am there ( loving neighbor) . I am a medic soldier infusing the true blood of the lamb that gives life in them so they live eternally with our King.

If my enemies are thirsty or hungry, I am a “cook” -soldier trying to feed them the Truth with the True Bread of life and the Living Water.

My MRE "Meal Ready to Eat" consists of the fruit of the Spirit:
- Love
- Joy
- Peace
- Patience
- Kindness
- Goodness
-  Faithfulness
- Gentleness 
- Self Control

I am also a Ranger.

I am not a baby. I do not need to be pampered,

    ...petted,

    ...primed up,

    ...pumped up,

    ...picked up,

    ...or pepped up,

By mere mortal men, but do need my King’s faithful support, unconditional love for me and intermittent prayer for me.

 

I am also a singing paratrooper and a color guard soldier. I am not a wimp. I am in place,

    ...saluting my King,

    ...obeying His orders,

    ...praising His name,

   …raising His Banner,

   …blowing the Shofar,

   ...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 His Army alongside His angels, 

I had nothing, 

I was dead, 

I was His enemy on the side of the father of lies.

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, the Prince of Peace who helped me make peace with the Father.

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!

In fact, I would smell the perfect fragrance of Christ that Hell would have to throw me up…

I am a spy soldier like Joshua and Caleb.
Even death cannot destroy me.
For when my Commander calls me from this battlefield or from behind enemy lines,
He will refresh me with the best R and R.

I am a “sapper” soldier, in God’s Army,
I'm marching to make way for the Lord, claiming victory like a "Special Force" soldier.
I will not give up.
I will not turn around.
I am also a psychological warfare soldier, marching, Heaven bound trying to instill LIFE psychologically and spiritually.
Here I stand! Will you stand with me?
