I am a soldier

I found this on the internet sometime ago whilst doing some research.It continues to challenge me and in God's strength can be a reality.Unfortuntately I do not remember the web site or who wrote it. If anyone knows its source please do let me know.


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 but I am enlisted for eternity.

I will either retire in this army at the end of time or die in it but I will not get out, sell out, be talked out or pushed out. I am faithful, reliable, capable and dependable. If God needs me I am there. If he needs me to teach a class, to teach my neighbour, to help someone in need or just to 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 committe. I cannot have my feelings hurt badly enough to turn me around.I cannot be discouraged enough to turn aside. I cannot lost enough to cause me to quit. When Jesus called me into this army I had nothing materially. If I end up with nothing I will still come out ahead. I will win spiritually. My God has supplied my needs and will continue to supply all of my needs.

I am more than a conqueror. I will always triump. 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 becasue I'm safe in my Saviour.

I am a soldier. Even death cannot destroy me. For when my commander calls me from this battlefield. He will promote me 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 and I am heaven bound and here I stand!
