I AM A SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF THE LORD

 

I am a soldier in the in the army of the Lord.

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.

1 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.  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 or, 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, I had nothing.

If I end up with nothing, I will still come out ahead.

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 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.

 

 

To the world, you may just be somebody...

but to somebody, you may be

the world.

 

There are four kinds of soldiers:
1. Active Duty: Serving the Lord faithfully, daily, and on duty 24-7-365.
2. Reserve Status: Serving only when called upon,
or twice a year: Christmas and Easter.
3. Guard Status: Backing up the Active Duty group.
           4. AWOL! Absent With Out the Lord.

   Which kind are you? Be an army of one for an audience of One.

 ANSWER THE CALL.

GIVE YOUR ALL.

LISTEN TO THE WORD.

BE A SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF THE LORD!
