I just wanted to share a few articles I read on the Fellowship of the Martyr's Bulletin board.

My name is Ken "Barron" Seelig.

I am a SOLDIER in the army of GOD.

The Lord Jesus Christ is my Commanding Officer. The Holy Bible is my code of conduct. Faith, prayer, and the Word are my weapons of warfare.

I have been taught by the Bible, trained by experience, tried by adversity, and tested by fire. I am a volunteer in this army, and I am enlisted for eternity.

I will either retire in this army at the end of time, or die in it; but I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out. I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable. If my God needs me, I am there.

If He needs me to teach a class, to teach my neighbor, to help someone in need, or just to sit and learn, He can use me because I am there!

I am a soldier.

I am not a baby. I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, picked up, or pepped up.

I am a soldier.

No one has to call me, remind me, write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me.

I am not a wimp. I am in place, saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising His name, and building His kingdom.

No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards, candy, or give me handouts.

I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, or catered to.

I am committed.

I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around.

I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside.I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit.

When Jesus called me into this army, I had nothing materially. If I end up with nothing, I will still come out ahead.I will win spiritually.

My God has supplied my needs, and will continue to supply all of my needs.

I am more than a conqueror. I will always triumph.

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.

Devils cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me. Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me. Governments cannot silence me, and hell cannot handle me, because I'm safe in my Savior.

I am a soldier.

Even death cannot destroy me. For when my Commander calls me from this battlefield, He will promote me, and then allow me to rule with Him.

I am a soldier in the army, and I'm marching claiming, VICTORY!!

I will not give up. I will not turn around.

I am a soldier, and I am heaven bound, and here I stand!

I Timothy 6:12 says, "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses."

To my Dearest Lord & Saviour

You are the Apple of my Eye, my Best Friend, my Strength, my Security.You complete me! I cannot live without You, I cannot breathe without You. You are my sustenance, my bread, my living Water.You gave me life and You gave me Your Living Breath. You are my Soul Mate.

Before I even knew You, my spirit man longed to be with You. I am so thankful that I found You!

How could I have survived without You all those years? Such wasted time..

How can I completely drown myself in You? How can I drench myself in Your Presence?

Oh to know the mysteries of Your Awesome Ways! Oh, to be able to rest in Your arms at the end of a hard days work! But not meaningless work Lord, Your Work! Your will! I long to do Your work!

Where do I begin, where do I start. The fields are over-ready, the harvesters are few, show me where to start, and help me in my unbelief when I do hear your instructions.

Oh Abba Father. Will you use me? Will you strip me of everything that would dare stand in the way of reaching You, and doing Your will? Will You show me what gods I have built up and what I must tear down?

I love You so much, everyday, I love You more. You are the best thing that ever happened to me!

Thank You my Abba for EVERYTHING!

I love You always

Your Child
