I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity and tested by fire. I'm a volunteer in this army, and I'm enlisted for eternity. 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 remind 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, and praising His name!

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 need.

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.

I am a soldier in the army, and I will claim 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 and been baptized for the remission of your sins, 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 two or three times a year ... Christmas, Mother's Day, and Easter?
3. Guard status: Backing up the Active Duty group?
   or
4. AWOL! Absent without the Lord?
