We’ve spent the last month examining what it truly means to be a soldier for Christ. We’ve examined: 🪖 The Battlefield. 🪖 The enemy. 🪖 Our Spiritual Armor. 🪖 Our Actions & Attitudes as Soldiers. 🪖 God as our General. 🪖 Our Guaranteed Victory. While we are soldiers for Christ, it is important to rememberContinue reading “The Battle Belongs to the Lord”

The Lord is My Banner
In war, banners/flags were often used to indicate the leader/country an approaching army represented. It was also generally multiple soldiers’ job to hold the banner – the banner must always be waving – as the banner went so did the army. If a soldier died holding the banner, another would pick it up and moveContinue reading “The Lord is My Banner”
Never Give Up
Ultimately, no matter the outcomes soldiers hope to fight well and win the war. Soldiers want to stay true to the cause, their fellow soldiers, and their leader. It is no different for soldiers of Christ. In 2 Timothy, in some of his final words, Paul wrote to Timothy his protege in the faith. PaulContinue reading “Never Give Up”
A Soldier’s Death
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. It is a day when we remember and honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Soldiers for Christ have and will die. Some die very violently and suddenly (similar to those honored on our Memorial Day); some die after years of fighting for ChristContinue reading “A Soldier’s Death”
Become an Overcomer
Soldiers in Christ’s army are overcomers. Because of Christ and our faith in Him, we are guaranteed to overcome this world. Overcome means to get the better of – to surmount. This world is a hard place. It is full of violence, sadness, cruelty, disappointments, loneliness, evil, and sin. It can be overwhelming at times.Continue reading “Become an Overcomer”
More Than Conquerors
God not only guarantees us victory if we are part of His army – He declares that we are more than conquerors. And the verb here is important – we ARE more than conquerors not we WILL BE but WE ARE ALREADY. So many times we – soldiers of Christ – believe we are waitingContinue reading “More Than Conquerors”
Guaranteed Victory!
When soldiers go to battle, they do not know what the outcome of the battle will be. Sometimes, the battle/war may go their way and they win. Sometimes, the battle/war does not go well and they lose. Sometimes, the battle/war may go well for the army but the individual soldier suffers injury and may evenContinue reading “Guaranteed Victory!”
No Weapons Shall Prosper
As members of God’s army, we do not have to worry about any weapon the enemy will use against us. No weapon can stand against the armies of God. Isaiah declares: No weapon formed against you shall prosper,And every tongue which rises against you in judgmentYou shall condemn.This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,And their righteousness is from Me,”Says the Lord.Continue reading “No Weapons Shall Prosper”
God Defeats All Enemies
As soldiers for Christ, we never have to worry about the outcome of the spiritual war we are fighting. We never have to worry about the fate of Satan nor do we have to worry about the fate of our enemies. Because God is our general, He ensures we will be victorious. 🪖 We canContinue reading “God Defeats All Enemies”
God Equips His Soldiers
Not only does God send His soldiers to battle with the necessary equipment, He also equips them with fortitude and strength. But, He will only give us our gear if we follow His voice. In Psalm 18, David declares that God is his refuge, fortress, Rock, and strength. The entire Psalm depicts how David callsContinue reading “God Equips His Soldiers”
