We must be followers to come under persecution
By serving Jesus comes forth the accuser of the brethren
Pray that we may be counted worthy at that time
Glory be to God a reward shall be yours and mine
Through the blood of Jesus a perfect sacrifice was made
Whosoever shall call upon His name shall be saved
Our mind is the battlefield each and every day
The spirit is willing but the flesh will lead us astray
If we're to be followers of Jesus this is what He said;
We must pick up our cross and follow Him each day
We are to crucify the flesh and renew our mind
Meditating on God's word both day and night
We are to take our thoughts captive unto the
obedience of Christ
To think on things above leaving the past behind
Don't look back as Lot's wife did way back then
She was turned into a pillar of salt for disobeying Him
Press forward to the mark of your most high calling
Be soldiers of the cross not stumbling and falling
Every christian is called to become a disciple
It is the root word of discipline to read and share the bible
We are told let the redeemed of the Lord say so
It is through our testimony we can reach lost souls
As well as in Revelation it is written to see
They overcame him by the blood of the lamb
and the word of their testimony
We must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ
We're not to entangle ourselves in the things of this life
Peter walked on water but his thoughts caused him to sink
By taking his eyes off of Jesus wrong thoughts he did think
As a man thinks in his heart so is he
For thoughts become words then words reality
Both life and death is in the power of the tongue
And it is written man shall eat the fruit there of
If you sow to the flesh then to the flesh you will reap
To sow unto the spirit it's God's word we must keep
It's impossible to please God without having faith
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God,He saith
Therefore put you on the Lord Jesus Christ
Which is the full armor of God to fight
For greater is He that is in you than he that's in the world
Be stedfast in love using the word as your sword
Most of our battles can be fought on bended knees
And when you pray always believe to receive
Come on christian soldiers God's kingdom is at hand
By the sword of the word let us take back our nation

2 Tim.2:3-4
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs
of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Heb.12:11-16
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness
unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame
be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall
see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God;
lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you,
and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau,
who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
Rev.12:11-12
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word
of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil
is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth
that he hath but a short time.
Eph.6:10-20
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour 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 armour 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:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open
my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly,
as I ought to speak.
