Soldier in the Army of God

THIS EMAIL WAS SENT TO ME YESTERDAY-I WAS SO MOVED, I WANT TO SHARE! GOD BLESS-DUANE

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,
and 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 the Sunday school,
to teach 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.
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 His 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.

The devil cannot defeat me.
People cannot disillusion me.
Weather cannot weary me.
Sickness cannot stop 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
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?
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. A.W.O.L.! Absent without the Lord?
