3. All Christians are in a battle, but our warfare is not carnal but spiritual

4. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

5. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

7. The Soldier Must Know Who His Master Is
The Soldier Prepares Himself For The Battle
The Soldier Must Recognize Who The Enemy Is And His Tactics

8. One of the greatest hymn writers of all time, Isaac Watts, said it best when he asked this question-

9. Am I a soldier of the cross?

10. Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own His cause, Or blush to speak His Name?

11. Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas?

12. Are there no foes for me to face. Must I not stem the flood
Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God?

13. Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord
Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord. I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy Word.

14. Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith’s discerning eye.

15. When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.

16. As a Christian we never get to be a veteran in the Lord’s army until we reach eternity.

17. Are you still on active duty?
