Today
we showed respect and honor to our American veterans of the past and today who
serve and have served in our military services.
I
did not serve in the military due to the condition of my health although I
deeply wanted to serve. When I was eighteen I tried to enlist in the Army, Navy
and Marines and was turned down by all because I couldn’t pass the physical. I
was classified as 4F and sent home.
It
bothered me for many years because I was found unfit to serve my country in
uniform but when I became twenty one years of age I discovered why I was not
allowed to join the military services. It was in God’s plan for my life that I
serve in a greater army and do spiritual battle against the enemies attacking men’s
souls instead.
God
forgave me my sins cleaned up and changed my old sin black heart saved me from
the consequences of my wrong living practices gave me a new and better life in
Jesus Christ called me to service and found me fit to serve in His army.
For
the past 53 years I have been enlisted in the army of God and am still fighting
the enemies of God.
With
the weapons of the Holy Bible and prayer I have sought to help free the human
race from the power of Satan and the bondage of sin.
I
have sought and am still seeking to lead people to the peace, freedom and
blessings of God offered in the blood sacrifice of the body of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
I am
just one of the many millions upon millions multitudes of many soldiers of
Jesus Christ from the past even to today’s generation that have fought and are
still fighting to make men free from sin so that they may live life as God
meant from the beginning of His creation.
The true
soldiers of God’s army receive no medals in this world for their service and
not many get a thank you most of the time they receive only mocking, ridicule,
cursing hardship and abuse from those that hate God and His ministers and
children in this present evil world that we all live in.
Many
of those prophets and preachers of the past were beheaded tortured and killed
for preaching Jesus Christ and He crucified for the sins of the world.
The
world is no different today if anything it is even more corrupt and evil.
In
many parts of the world it is still a very dangerous thing to preach and teach
in the name of Jesus the full gospel of God.
I
know that there will never be any honor, praise or thanksgiving from most of
the world’s crowd for the faithful soldiers who serve in the army of God.
But
it sure would be nice if the Christian body of Christ would come together and
set apart a special day in honor and thankfulness to the old soldiers of the
gospel of Jesus Christ who were faithful in their God called mission and the
young ones of today’s world who give their lives faithfully to the service of
Gods kingdom and spend their days doing their best to lead the lost to the
salvation of God that is in Christ Jesus.
Why
can’t we have and celebrate a veterans of Gods army day in America?
