Take heart: have courage
God himself underwrites your battle and has appointed his own son the captain of your salvation.
Jesus lived and died for you and he will live and die with you.
Stand:
Just as an earthly soldier represents his country's honour in battle, the Christian represents God's honour whenever he is called to contend with temptation. Such testing quickly reveals how far we are willing to go in defending our sovereign's reputation.
When William the conqueror landed in England he sent away all his ships in full sight lf his men, the message was clear. Retreat is not an option, victory or death.
It should be the concern of every Christian to stand in his assigned place. The devil's method is first to rout and then to ruin.
Stand - Do Not Sleep
Standing is a waking, watching posture. In the military, 'stand to your arms!' means 'stay alert and watch!' in some cases it is death to a soldier to be found asleep when he is assigned to guard duty.
The saints sleeping time is satans prime tempting time.
