“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” II Tim. 2:3
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 God’s 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 have enlisted for eternity. I will either retire at the rapture or die in this army, but I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or be 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 or work with the youth, if He needs me to work with the adults, 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’m 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, coddled, cradled, cared for, or be catered to. I am committed. I cannot have my feelings hurt badly enough to turn me around, and I cannot be discouraged 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. If I win, my God is the reason, and He 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. The devil 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.
When my commander calls me from His battlefield, He will promote me to captain and then allow me to rule with Him. I am a soldier in His army, and I am marching and claiming the 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?
Whoa! This blg looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a completely
different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
Bro Bill,
Outstanding!
Reminds me of the old message by BH Clendennan. If anyone has a few minutes, listen to this message, it will bless you… by an old ww2 vet turned preacher.

This reminds me of the Salvation Army’s theme!
“Onward Christian Soldier”
By the way, Christians need to “fight” come election day by voting!
Amen! Vote! … and a Christian has no business voting for anyone that condones abortion, approval of sexual deviancy, loss of religious rights, corruption, and any other principles that contrary to what the Scriptures teach! At this time that rules out Democrats, and the Libertarian party. If one doesn’t vote for Republican, in America’s two-party system, the vote will mathematically be attributed to the Democrats! So pray, think, and be informed before you vote!!!!!
I will stand with you.
That is good Bill George
George, good to hear from you. I was hoping you still read it. I was just bragging on your ministry to some folks yesterday. You are such a blessing to so many people.
I am still praying for your wife’s health!
