\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The soldier stands at attention\u2026<\/h6>\n
Ready and willing to go<\/h6>\n
To quickly obey and will not delay<\/h6>\n
No matter where she\u2019s sent\u2026<\/h6>\n
She\u2019s been trained for this battle<\/h6>\n
She\u2019s a soldier prepared for this\u2026<\/h6>\n
Not what she thinks or understands\u2026<\/h6>\n
But to simply follow the commands that\u2019s given and then\u2026<\/h6>\n
\u201cYES SIR!\u201d Is all she says\u2026Saluting<\/em>, she pivots<\/h6>\n
Responding without question, she does, as she, is told\u2026<\/h6>\n
She\u2019s confident, ready and bold\u2026<\/h6>\n
We are in an army, our weaponry not of this world\u2019s kind\u2026<\/h6>\n
But by prayer and fasting, we\u2019re lead by the Divine\u2026<\/h6>\n
God has called, and we have answered\u2026standing at attention we wait\u2026<\/h6>\n
Stand your ground, run forward, and do not retreat, this enemy, you will defeat\u2026<\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is one, who is greater, who fights for you, simply obey Him and do what He asks you to do\u2026<\/h6>\n
The battle is the Lords; you have nothing now to fear\u2026<\/h6>\n
Adrenaline rush, demons crushed\u2026at the mention of His Name\u2026<\/h6>\n
Jesus, Commander of the Lord\u2019s Army\u2026<\/h6>\n
Yesterday, today and forever, He is the same\u2026<\/h6>\n
Victory, Liberty, Freedom\u2026<\/h6>\n
Blood is spilt and has forever bought the sons of men and women.<\/h6>\n
We fight and we win, because of Him!<\/h6>\n
Amen, and, amen!<\/h6>\n
~M. S. O’Neill October 2, 2017<\/h6>\n
You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 2 Timothy 2:1-4 New International Version (NIV)<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n
So, my son, throw yourself into this work for Christ. Pass on what you heard from me\u2014the whole congregation saying Amen!\u2014to reliable leaders who are competent to teach others. When the going gets rough, take it on the chin with the rest of us, the way Jesus did. A soldier on duty doesn\u2019t get caught up in making deals at the marketplace. He concentrates on carrying out orders. An athlete who refuses to play by the rules will never get anywhere. It\u2019s the diligent farmer who gets the produce. Think it over. God will make it all plain. <\/strong><\/em>2 Timothy 2:1-7 <\/em><\/strong>The Message (MSG)<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
