QUALITIES OF A GOOD SOLDIER

1.A HE IS A FOLLOWER
A.Implies Relationship (The first step is to join the army) No one can be a soldier for the Lord until they first get into the army. This is accomplished only through receiving Jesus as one's Savior, John 3:3; Ephesians 2:8-9; Acts 16:31

Join and receive Jesus as your Savior:

Romans 10:9-10 9.That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


B. Implies Rank (There is always someone higher than you) The same is true in the Lord's army. Every child of God is under ranked under Jesus and is responsible for following Him and His will for their lives. 

C. Implies Rule (To refuse to follow orders is treason!)When we are in the Lord's Army, we have the obligation of obeying His orders even unto the death :Notice the call of Christ that has not changed, Matt. 16:24. When we refuse to live as the Lord desires, then we have crossed the line from follower to Sinner - James 4:17.


Luke 16:13
13. No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

HE IS FAITHFUL

A. His Patience - Endures hardship and does not quit.The good soldier realizes that there will be troubles along the way and is not detoured by them. He understands that pain is often part of the Christian experience, John 16:33

Please remember that the Christian is called upon to face life with extreme patience - Heb. 12:1. The characteristic of a man who is not swerved from his deliberate purpose and his loyalty to faith and piety by even the greatest trials and sufferings.

B.   Seeks to please the Commander.Notice that the
good soldier has no higher goal in life than pleasing His Superior. The good soldier knows that anything which interferes with his performance in the military must be done away with. The good soldier wants to please his Superior and does whatever he has to do to get that job done! (Ill. Who comes first in your life? Whatever or whoever it is, that is your god! Pleasing Jesus ought to be the first priority of every child of God - 1 Cor. 10:31; 1 Cor. 6:20.)

C. Guards the truths of the faith.The good soldier takes care of the things delivered unto him. He is determined to do a good job, and he refuses to do anything to bring disgrace and dishonor upon his Superior.( So it is with the Christian soldier. He wants to live his life in a manner that brings honor to the Lord and not dishonor. Are you keeping the faith this morning?

There are some things that the good soldier knows. He is familiar with:

A. The Sound Of The Commanders Voice (John 10:3-5) The way to get more familiar is to spend more time listening to it. You do this by getting in the Word, Do you know Him. 

B. He has Skill of knowing how to use his  Weapons.


We must resist the devil,and listen to GOD.
Because the devil is a Liar,but you can trust GOD. In Titus 1:2 it says, In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

( Ephesians 6:10-17) 10.Finally,my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11.Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.13.Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14.Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;15.And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16.Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17.And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Chemtrails

CHEMTRAILS 

 DANGER  IN  THE  SKY  

      

We must not allow ourselves to be distracted that we don't know what is going on.

Look up in the sky now and then and see for yourself. And if you don't see chemtrails think about how great GOD is and all the things he has created on this planet. 

Revelation 12:12                                                       

12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

Luke 12:4-5

4.And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

 5.But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Psalm 91
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2.I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3.Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4.He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5.Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

  6.Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7.A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8.Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9.Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10.There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11.For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12.They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13.Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14.Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15.He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16.With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

This is what the bible has to say about the last days of the,

NEW  WORLD  ORDER  AGENDA

Mark 13:13

13. Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

  Mark 13:15-23

15. Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out.

 16. Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.

 17. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!

 18. Pray that this will not take place in winter, 

19. because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now and never to be equaled again.

   20. “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 

21. At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it.

 22. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23. So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.

John 15:18. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES

GOD'S  PROMISES

God Keeps His Promise

Promise - A declaration assuring that one will or will not do something; a vow. Indication of something favorable to come; expectation. Indication of future excellence or success.

You may can recall some time in your life when God has spoken to you and He made you a promise. He told you something that would or would not come to pass (something that would come to pass because God was going to bless you or something that would not come to pass because GOD was protecting you) He shared some insight as to what was to come for you, or He gave you a peace be still in your spirit that you should not worry because He has everything in control and he guarded your mind to keep you from negative emotions and being fearful. Because he has given his children a spirit of peace and of sound mind.

We must also focus on Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Abraham’s Instructions:

When God gives you a promise you must understand there may come a testing time to see if you are going to be faithful to Him and deserving of the promise.

< When God gave Abraham his promise, it also came with some instructions.Your instructions may be (Peace be Still) in your spirit that you should not worry because GOD has everything in control.A peace that is beyond human understanding that is from GOD and not of yourself.


Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. God tests our faith in  a not so difficult or difficult test or challenge or place or situation that forces people to change or make difficult decisions 
1 Peter 1:7   That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

“Substance”: Or assurance; The faith described here involves the most solid possible conviction, the God given present assurance of a future reality.

 Hebrews 4:11   Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 

When we decide to trust God our situation does not change but our attitude towards it does,then we can be at peace and we can rest and not have anxiety,fear and be stressed out. because fear tolerated is faith contaminated.


The sad thing, sometimes, is that some who start out with Jesus do not remain steadfast. When troubles come, they falter. Trials of this world have a way of separating those who truly belong to God, from those who are just pretenders. You can only damage yourself if you do not trust God,you will only be stressed out and wear yourself down.The peace of God is a gift but you must decide to believe God and labor into the rest.

Faith is believing  what God said or promised will come into reality or something He said will be done.

 Jesus told Thomas, blessed are those who did not see but believed,John 20:29
