AT CHRIST'S BIRTH 

Onward, Christian Soldiers!

TEXT
Ephesians Chapter 6: v. 10 - 18 

10. Be strong in the Lord, 

and in the power

of His might. 

11. Put on the whole armor

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 powers,, 

against the rulers

of this world, 

against spiritual

wickedness

in high places.

13. Wherefore take unto you

the whole armor

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.

Ephesians 6.10 - 18 KJV Holy Bible

Little Church in the Valley

in Carson WA

The Church no longer exists, 

but the memory is 

bright and clear 

that it is 

Christians 

who must give out 

the Good News 

The Gospel of Christ

that He came to save 

Sinners, 

not the righteous,

and that in His 

Power and in 

His 

Authority 

we are to go forward

as SOLDIERS.

When we become His, and are saved, 

we are immediately thrust 

into a spiritual

battle.

Where before, we

had only 

one nature, sin, and

no power 

to break away from that.

When we become a 

Son of God,  that 

changed 

for ever.

For ever only 

has to be once 

said, for 

it is 

for ever.

Joshua 1. 8 

This book of the law 

shall not depart

out of thy mouth;

but thou shalt 

meditate therein

day and night, 

that thou mayest 

observe 

to do according to all

that is written therein: 

for then thou

shalt be 

pr0sperous.

Joshua 1. 8 

Jesus told the disciples 

"He that believeth in me, 

the works that I do

shall he do also;

because I go into my Father.

John 14. 12 

Christians Soldier

need to know these

facts which 

the Bible gives us.

I.  WE NEED TO KNOW 

OUR COMMANDER.

*We are to personally know our
commanding officer. 
*We are to receive our orders from
Him, and no one else. 
*We are to exactly do what he 
commands.

II Timothy 2.3 -4

Thou therefore endure 
hardness, as a good soldier
of Jesus Christ. 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.

Philippians 3.10 - 11

That I may know Him
and the power of His 
resurrection, and the 
fellowship of His 
sufferings, being made 
conformable unto 
His death; if by
any means I might also
attain unto the 
resurrection 
of the dead. 

I John 5. 10 - 13 

10. He that believeth on the 
Son of God hath the 
witness in himself: he that
believeth not God hath
made him a liar;  
because he believeth not
the record that God
gave of his Son.
11. And this is the record, 
that God hath given to us
eternal life, and
this life is in
His Son. 
12. He that hath the Son 
hath life; and
he that hath not the 
Son of God 
hath not life.
13. These things have I 
written unto you that 
believe on 
the name of the 
Son of God,
that ye may 
know that ye have 
eternal life, 
and that ye may 
believe 
on the name of 
the Son of God. 

Psalm 27.8  

When thou saidest, seek
ye my face; my
heart said unto thee,,
Thy face, O Lord,, will I
seek.

 Psalm 63. 1 

O God: Thou art my God;
early will I seek Thee:
my soul thirsteth for thee.

I Timothy 6.12 

Fight the good fight
of faith, lay hold on
eternal life: whereunto thou 
art also called, and
hast professed a good
profession before
many witnesses.

Paul declared in his
letter to Timothy:
II Timothy 4.7

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished
my course,
I have kept the faith.

Jeremiah 7.23 

But this thing I 
commanded them, 
saying,
Obey my voice,
and I will be your God,
and  you
shall be my people: 
and ye shall walk ye in
all the ways that
I have commanded you,
that it may be well unto you.

Acts 5.29 

Then Peter and the other

apostles answered and

said, We 

ought to obey God 

rather

than men.

II.  WE OUGHT TO KNOW

THE ENEMIES.

*Our primary enemy is: 

*the world 

*the flesh

*the devil 

I John 2. 15,16

15.  Love not the world, neither
the things that are 
in the world. If any
man love the world,
the love of the Father
is not in him.  
16. For all that is in 
the world, 
the list of the flesh,
and the list of 
the eyes,
and the pride
of life, is
not of the 
Father, but is 
of the world.

Romans 8.8 

So then they that are in

the flesh cannot please God.

Ephesians 2.3

Among whom also we all
has our conversation in
times past in the lusts
of our flesh, 
fulfilling the desire of 
the flesh and of the mind;
and were by
nature
the children of wrath,
even as others.

I Thessalonians 2.18

Wherefore we would

have come unto you, 

even I, Paul, once 

and again; but

Satan hindered us. 

*Other enemies Believers may

have to fight are: 

*Ignorance 

*Selfishness -need for

cooperation and teamwork

*Pride - basic sin .

*Doubt

*Fear - afraid of the unknown

II Timothy 2.15 

Study to shew thyself approved

unto God, a workman

that needeth not

to be ashamed, 

rightly 

dividing 

the word of truth. 

II Timothy 1.6 

For God has not give us 
the Spirit of fear;
but of 
power, and of
love,
and of a sound 
mind. 

I John 4.18 

There is no fear in love;
but perfect love 
casteth out 
fear: 
because fear
hath
torment. He
that feareth is
not made perfect
in love. 

I John 4.19

We love Him, because He first loved us. 

III.  WE ARE TO KNOW

HOW TO RECRUIT SOLDIERS,  

*We are to seek to reach out 

to others with the 

Gospel of Christ.

*We are to give each 

person a responsiblity

to keep him busy.  

John 12.26 
If any man serve me, 

let him follow Me, and 
where I am, there shall
also my servant be: 
if any serve me, him
will my Father honour.  

IV.  WE ARE TO KNOW HOW 

TO TRAIN OUR SOLDIERS.

*We each need to be trained in a 
practical knowledge of the Bible.
*We must know how to use
God's Word in leading
another person to Christ.
*We must know how to use
God's Word to help others 
as well as ourselves in
overcoming 
difficulties.

II Timothy 2. 15 

Study to shew thyself approved

unto God, a workman

that needeth not

to be ashamed, 

rightly

dividing 

the word of truth. 

II Timothy 3.16, 17 

All scripture is given 

by inspiration of God, 

and is 

profitable 

for doctrine, 

for correction,

for instruction

in righteousness: 

that the man of 

God may be perfect,

throughly furnished

unto all good

works. 

Romans 10.17 

Faith cometh by 
hearing, 
and hearing 
by the word of God.

V.  WE MUST KNOW HOW TO PLAN

 FOR INVASION.

*Our conduct must be pleasing 

unto the Lord.

*We must be faithful and steadfast 

with our purpose and 

objective in mind. 

*we must not be terrified  or

upset by our adversaries.

*Look forward . 

Press on.  Keep on keeping on.

Do not give out, give in, or give up.

Philippians 1.27 - 30  

v.27. Only let your conversation

be as it becometh the 

Gospel of Christ: 

that whether I come

and see you, 

or else be absent,

I may hear of your affairs,

that ye stand fast

in one spirit,

with one

mind

striving together

for the 

faith of the gospel. 

v.28.   And in nothing

terrified by your

adversaries:

which to them 

is an evident

token of perdition,

but to you

of salvation,

and that of God. 

v.29.  For unto you it

is given in the behalf

of Christ, not

only to believe on him,

but also to 

suffer for His sake;

v.30.   Having the same 

conflict which ye

saw in me and

now hear to 

be in me. 

Philippians 3. 12 - 14

v.12. Not as though 

I had attained, either

were already 

perfect: 

but I follow 

after,

if that I may

apprehend

that for which

also I am apprehended

of Christ Jesus.

v.13.  Brethren,

I count not myself

to have

apprehended:

but this one thing

I do, forgetting

those things

which are behind

and 

reaching forth

unto

those things

which are before, 

v.14.  I press 

toward the mark 

for

the prize

of the high calling

of God 

in Christ Jesus. 

Since 2015 here in Blaine, WA

I have been blessed

to still be here.

May 2026 be a blessed year

for you.

Remember

GOD's WORD rightly

divided,

will never

contradict

itself.

Just keep reading.

TEXT:   ROMANS 5.1 - 13   

A Sermon by Wm H Cash Jr 

1927 - 2012 

August 1958 First Baptist Church

Crescent OR  Evening Service.

5.1  Therefore being justified by faith, 

we have peace with God 

through our 

Lord Jesus Christ.

5.2 By whom also we have 

access by faith 

into this grace wherein we 

stand, and rejoice 

in hope of the glory 

of God. 

5.3  And not only so, 

but we glory in tribulations 

also: knowing

that tribulation

worketh patience; 

5.4  And patience, 

experience; and experience

hope; 

5.5 And hope maketh 

not ashamed, because 

the love of God 

is shed abroad 

in our hearts 

by the Holy Ghost 

which is given unto us.

5.6  For when we were yet 

without strength, 

in due time Christ died 

for the ungodly.

5.7 For scarcely for a righteous

man will one die: yet 

peradventure for a 

good man 

some would even dare

to die.

5.8  But God commendeth 

His love toward us, in that 

while we were yet sinners, 

Christ died for us.

5.9  Much more than, being

now justified by His blood, 

we shall be saved 

from wrath 

through him.

5.10  For if, when we were 

enemies, we were 

reconciled to God 

by the death of his Son, 

much more, 

being reconciled, 

we shall be saved by 

His Life.     

5.11   And not only so, 

but we also joy in God 

through our Lord Jesus Christ

by whom we have 

now received 

the atonement. 

5.12   Wherefore, as by one 

man sin entered into the 

world,  and death by sin;

 and so death passed upon all men

for that all have sinned; 

5.13  (For until the law 

sin was in the world: 

but sin is not imputed 

when there is no law.

 Many professing Christians today are 

unstable, uncertain, and constantly 

seeking for "revival" but 

in themselves do not have joy, 

nor do they seem to know

victory over 

the lust of the flesh, 

the lust of the eyes,

and 

the pride of life.

I John 2.15, 16

15. Love not the world, 

neither the things that are in 

the world. If any man 

love the world, the love 

of the Father is not in him.

16. For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life,

is not of the Father,

but is of the world.

II Corinthians 15.58 

Therefore, 

my beloved brethren, 

be ye steadfast,

unmoveable,

always abounding 

in the work of the 

Lord, 

forasmuch as ye know 

that your labour is not 

in vain in the Lord. 

Our Lord wants us to be 

fruitful, and constant.

Jesus told the disciples

"If ye abide in me, 

and my words abide in you,

ye shall ask what ye will,

and it shall be done unto you.

John 15.7 

Before Jesus went to the Cross, 

he told the disciples 

"These things have I spoken

unto you, that in me 

you might have peace. 

In the world ye shall 

have tribulation, 

but be of good cheer, 

I have overcome the

world." 

OUR FAITH IS THE 

VICTORY 

THAT OVERCOMES

THE WORLD.

1 John 5.4 

Whatsoever is born of God 

overcometh the world: and 

this is the victory 

that overcometh 

the world, 

even our faith.

LET US CONSIDER 

THINGS ABOUT 

OUR VICTORY

I.

IT IS A WAY OF LIFE

As "justified" 

I have been declared 

legally by God

through 

the blood of Jesus 

NOT GUILTY.

All have sinned and

come short of the 

glory of God 

Romans 3.23

is followed

by verse 

24 

which states 

"being justified freely

by his grace 

through the 

redemption

that is in Christ". 

\Our Saviour leads today

into victory 

Jesus fulfilled everything 

needed 

for us 

to live 

this victorious life.

Psalm 55.22 

Cast thy burden upon 

the LORD; and He shall sustain 

thee

Matthew 11.28 - 30 

Come unto me 

All ye that labour and 

are heavy laden, and

I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you,

and learn of me, 

for I am meek 

and lowly in heart; 

and ye shall find 

rest 

unto your souls, 

for my yoke 

is easy 

and my

burden 

is light. 

As we pick up the yoke

Christ offers, 

It is HE THAT 

BEARS THE LOAD

Instead of focusing

on how big the load is,

let us 

LET GOD LIFT OUR LOADS.

ROMANS 12.1,2  

I Beseech you therefore, brethren,

by the mercies of God

to present your bodies 

a living sacrifice 

unto God, 

which is your 

reasonable 

service.

and be not 

conformed 

to the world,

but be ye 

TRANSFORMED 

by the renewing of 

your mind,  

that ye may prove

what is that good,

and acceptable,

and perfect, 

will of God.  

GALATIANS 2.20 

I am crucified with Christ: 

nevertheless, I live, yet not

I, but Christ liveth

in me, 

and the life

which 

I now live 

in the flesh, 

I live 

by the faith 

of the  

Son of God 

who loved me 

and gave himself 

for me.  

When a certain man was 

carrying his bundle 

on his back 

down the 

road 

he was 

struggling 

with his burden.

A wagon driven 

by a man who offered

to let him 

ride with him

in the wagon.

The traveler 

then got into the wagon,

and sat down.

Sometime later

the driver looked 

back to see how 

his guest was 

doing, 

and he noticed

that 

the 

man still had

the pack on his

back.

He did not let 

go of it.

SO WE TAKE OUR LOAD 

TO THE LORD 

AND LEAVE IT THERE.

HE PROMISED TO 

LIFT OUR LOAD

OUR 

BURDEN

OUR 

NEEDS

OUR HEART CRY 

FOR HELP

II  VICTORY IN DEATH 

Through Christ we have victory 

not only over life,

but over death.

Isaiah 25.8 - 9  

8. He will swallow up 

death in victory; and 

the LORD God will 

wipe away tears 

from all faces; 

and the rebuke of

his people 

shall he take

away 

from off 

all the earth: 

for the LORD hath 

spoken it.

v.9  And it shall 

be said in that day

"Lo, this is our God, 

We have waited for Him,

we will rejoice and 

be glad in 

His Salvation." 

Y'SHUA 

in Matthew 1.21 

"Thou shalt call his name

JESUS for he shall save his 

people from their sins.

Being dead to sin 

and alive to God 

Being justified 

Being sanctified 

we not only 

are 

IN POSITION 

WITH CHRIST 

IN THE HEAVENLIES

III. VICTORY IN THE FUTURE 

WILL COME.  

IN GOD'S EYES

WE ARE 

ALREADY 

SEATED 

WITH JESUS

AT 

THE RIGHT

HAND 

OF THE FATHER.

IN GOD'S EYES

PAST 

PRESENT 

AND 

FUTURE 

ARE 

ALL IN HIS HANDS.

JESUS IS CALLING US

TO FOLLOW HIM

HE HAS MADE THE WAY

HE DWELLS IN US 

THROUGH THE 

DEAR 

SPIRIT 

THE HOLY GHOST

WHO 

WILL

ALWAYS 

EXALT 

JESUS 

TO THE 

GLORY 

OF

GOD THE FATHER

In my next post 

I will talk about 

GOD'S VICTORY

in the Future.
