KEEP MARCHING FOR JESUS

"And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's."

2 Chronicles 20:15
King James Version

We will never win the battle against satan and evil without allowing Jesus to help us. Jesus has made it very clear that we can't do anything without Him. We read in the Bible. "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." John 15:5

Rev.Sabine Baring-Gould wrote one of my favorite hymns "ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS". It is such a privilege to be able to march in God's army.

"Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the foe; Forward into battle See His banners go!

Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. At the sign of triumph, Satan’s host doth flee; On then, Christian soldiers, On to victory! Hell’s foundations quiver At the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise.

Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod. We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope, in doctrine, One in charity."

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for allowing us to march in Your army. Please help us to stay on the battlefield for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for us.

I love You, dear Jesus. Thank You for dying for my sins and for never leaving me. I look forward to the joyous happy day when I will see You face to face.
