"You don't allow the cares of this life nor the temptations of it to rob you of your goal, or calling"

SOLDIER FOR THE LORD......

Do you know what it means to be a soldier for the Lord?

It means you are brave, resilient, disciplined, and full of courage. You have read the book, you have kept the faith, you have kept your eyes focused on the Source, and not on your strength.

You don't allow the cares of this life nor the temptations of it to rob you of your goal, or calling.

You are called unto holiness, not depression.
You are called unto the great commission, not television nor the computer.. but unto witnessing.
You are called unto love, not anger You are called to live righteous (As Christ teaches) not as the world teaches.

For those time when life is hard, you set your chin like flint and say I am a child of the King of Kings. He has brought me through many things before, and He will bring me through this.

I am not alone, I am not defeated, I am not overwhelmed, I have a advocate, with almighty God who is fighting my battles for me. Therefore I go forth in Joy in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, and enjoy this blessed day which He has given unto me, to use for His kingdom.

Lord.. it is not about me... it is about you.
I commit my troubles and past, and life to you, and I seek to be all you have called me to be. Teach me your ways, and I will obey.

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and shall not faint. Isaiah 40:31


SOLDIERING FOR THE LORD

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 SUNDAY SCHOOL, TEACHING 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. BECAUSE 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 A 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's?

2: RESERVE DUTY: SERVING ONLY WHEN CALLED UPON OR TWICE A YEAR, CHRISTMAS AND EASTER?

3: GUARD STATUS: BACKING UP THE ACTIVE DUTY GROUP? OR
4: A W O L ! ABSENT without THE LORD?

THINK ABOUT IT.................

In His Love,
Min. Nina
