Are you a Soldier for Jesus?

2 Timothy 2:4

No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a SOLDIER!

My bible story time teacher at church did a lesson on being a good soldier for Christ. We are in a spiritual battle, if we are saved we are fighting for Jesus. If we are not saved we are the enemy. How important is it to know that we are fighting for right. That we are fighting in the LORDS army and not the devils! There is no reason why we can't be in the battle on the right side. Just give your life to Jesus and you will be on the winning side! Here is a poem that our teacher brought. I wanted to share it.

A Soldier For Jesus Christ

I AM A SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF GOD!
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS MY COMMANDING OFFICER!
THE HOLY BIBLE IS MY CODE OF CONDUCT!
FAITH, PRAYER, AND THE WORD OF GOD ARE MY WEAPONS OF WARFARE!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

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 END, OR DIE IN THIS ARMY....
BUT I WILL NOT GET OUT , SELL OUT, BE TALKED OUT OR PUSHED OUT!!!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

I AM FAITHFUL, RELIABLE, CAPABLE AND DEPENDABLE.
IF GOD NEEDS ME, I AM THERE!
IF HE NEEDS ME IN BIBLE STORY TIME, TO TEACH CHILDREN, WORK WITH THE YOUTH, HELP THE ADULTS OR JUST SIT AND LEARN,
HE CAN USE ME, BECAUSE I AM THERE!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

I AM A SOLDIER!
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, ENTICE ME, OR LURE ME!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

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 GIFTS, FOOD, CANDY, OR GIVE MY HANDOUTS!
I DO NOT NEED TO BE CUDDLED, CRADLED, OR CATERED TO!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

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 QUITE!!!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

WHEN JESUS CALLED ME INTO THIS ARMY, I HAD NOTHING.
IF I END UP WITH NOTHING, I WILL STILL COME OUT EVEN! 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!!!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

DEVILS CANNOT DEFEAT ME. PEOPLE CANNOT DISILLUSION ME!

I AM A SOLDIER!
EVEN DEATH CANNOT DESTROY ME!
FOR WHEN MY COMMANDER CALLS ME FROM THIS BATTLEFIELD,
HE WILL PROMOTE ME TO HEAVEN.

2 Timothy 2:3
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ!

TRUST in the LORD!

 

 

Psalms 18:2

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will TRUST; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Well it is a New Year! 2010 was very challenging for me and for many people I know. Many hard trials, temptations, etc.; but "THANK THE LORD" through it all He was always there and an ever present help in time of need.

This past year God has been dealing with me a lot on trusting in Him. Not leaning on my own understanding, but to acknowledge Him in all things, go to Him with ALL things, and TRUST that He will work out every detail in the best way possible. There really are so many things this year where I was forced to lean hard on the Lord and not once did the Lord not show up or not be that help when I needed it most! It is such a blessing to have the Lord to go to with every obstacle, every tear, every problem, every joy, every heartache, and KNOW that He is there, He cares, and He is that 'ever present help'. Why do we ever doubt? Did He not create this entire world? The heavens above, the sea below? Did he not create you and me? Did He not send his only begotten Son, to die and live so that we would have the hope of heaven and life more abundantly? Is He not 'Love' in the purest form?

Romans 5: 6-8

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

We can Trust a savior who gave His life so that we might live! Have a great NEW YEAR in 2011 and remember GOD NEVER FAILS! You can TRUST Him!

Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God;
Through it all, through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.

 

Don't give up on PRAYER!

 

Hindrance to Prayer

"And he shall bring it to pass" (Ps. 37:5).

I once thought that after I prayed that it was my duty to do everything that I could do to bring the answer to pass. He taught me a better way, and showed that my self-effort always hindered His working, and that when I prayed and definitely believed Him for anything, He wanted me to wait in the spirit of praise, and only do what He bade me. It seems so unsafe to just sit still, and do nothing but trust the Lord; and the temptation to take the battle into our own hands is often tremendous.

We all know how impossible it is to rescue a drowning man who tries to help his rescuer, and it is equally impossible for the Lord to fight our battles for us when we insist upon trying to fight them ourselves. It is not that He will not, but He cannot. Our interference hinders His working.  --C.H.P.

Spiritual forces cannot work while earthly forces are active.

It takes God time to answer prayer. We often fail to give God a chance in this respect. It takes time for God to paint a rose. It takes time for God to grow an oak. It takes time for God to make bread from wheat fields. He takes the earth. He pulverizes. He softens. He enriches. He wets with showers and dews. He warms with life. He gives the blade, the stock, the amber grain, and then at last the bread for the hungry.

All this takes time. Therefore we sow, and till, and wait, and trust, until all God's purpose has been wrought out. We give God a chance in this matter of time. We need to learn this same lesson in our prayer life. It takes God time to answer prayer.  --J. H. M.

Don't give up on prayer or give in to despair

Could be the answers going to come today

Look to God and you will see

Don't give in to old unbelief

Look to God and don't give up on prayer!

SHE SHALL BRING FORTH A SON

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

What a beautiful thought! God with us. God in the flesh, coming down to mortal men. Dwelling amongst us. Coming down as a baby, born in the most humble place...a manger. Coming down. Living with us, crying with us, laughing with us, sharing in our temptations, sharing in our joys, but without SIN! God with us. Jesus, coming to be the sacrifice for all man kind. Jesus, the son of God, God in the flesh. King of Kings and Lord or Lords, choosing to dwell with sinful man, to live and die for us! We are the ones with the sin. We are the ones who are not worthy, yet God saw fit to come in the form of Jesus His only begotten Son and to willingly die so that we might live! What an awesome and loving God we serve! And all of this, a free gift to us. All we have to do is confess our sins, be sorry for them, forsake them and ask God to forgive us, and tell him we accept the free gift of salvation through his son Jesus Christ. We are guilty, but Jesus already paid the price! This Christmas receive the best gift ever! The free gift of salvation through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

John 3: 16, 17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water
Mary did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters
Did you know that your baby boy would walk where angels trod
When you've kissed your little baby you've kissed the face of GOD!
Mary did you know?

Who is Leading?

"O Lord , I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps" (Jer. 10:23).
"Lead me in a plain path" (Ps. 27:14).

Many people want to direct God, instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him; to show Him a way, instead of passively following where He leads. --Madame Guyon

I said: "Let me walk in the field";
God said: 'Nay, walk in the town";
I said: "There are no flowers there";
He said: "No flowers, but a crown."I said: "But the sky is black,
There is nothing but noise and din";
But He wept as He sent me back,
"There is more," He said, "there is sin

I said: "But the air is thick,
And fogs are veiling the sun";
He answered: "Yet souls are sick,
And souls in the dark undone."

 I said: "I shall miss the light,
And friends will miss me, they say";
He answered me, "Choose tonight,
If I am to miss you, or they."

I pleaded for time to be given;
He said: "Is it hard to decide?
It will not seem hard in Heaven
To have, followed the steps of your Guide."

I cast one look at the fields,
Then set my face to the town;
He said: "My child, do you yield?
Will you leave the flowers for the crown?"

Then into His hand went mine,
And into my heart came He;
And I walk in a light Divine,
The path I had feared to see.--George MacDonald
