Little Soldier, Are You Ready?
By Effie Darlene Barba
Little Soldier, are you ready?
The battle’s drawing near
Have you put on all your armor?
To stand, don’t run in fear!
Did you put on your helmet?
Remembering all God’s done
He provided your Salvation
When He gave His Only Son
Did you strap on your breastplate?
Is your passion now on Him?
To follow in His footsteps
And shun all willful sin!
Did you tightly wrap your waistband?
With all that God has said!
So that never compromising
By His Truth you can be lead!
Are you holding high before you?
Your shield of faith in God!
Our Sovereign, Omniscient, Shepherd
Who protects us with His Rod!
So, where now are you going?
To spread Salvation’s song
Feet now shod with love and peace
March Boldly toward the throng
Say a prayer and off you go
To near or distant land
Spreading His Gospel to a world
That is God’s one command!
And rest assured, my little one
God ‘s always at your side
The victory sure, the battle won
In Christ you can abide
The Holy Spirit goes with you
To guide you on your way
Protecting you with every step
Reminding you to pray
For prayer, you see, my little one
Along with truth your sword
Are all the weapons you will need!
With Jesus as your Lord!

Our Joy is in Christ!

Our Battle is against the spirits of pride, anger, selfishness, & despair!
[tweetthis]We Win This Spiritual Battle on our Knees![/tweetthis]
So we must fight that battle within the spiritual realms, beginning with our own heart. By standing firm in God’s truth (His Word), through prayer and boldly proclaiming the Gospel; the victory is already ours. [bctt tweet=”The only way I can spread the truth of the gospel is by remembering and naming the true enemy-Sin” username=”effiedarlene”]Only then can I see those who hurt me as souls in need of a Savior, rather than seeing them as my enemy. Then, I can respond with words of truth and love.
