Soldados Somos de Jesus
Ramom Santos
The Spiritual Warfare of Jesus' Soldiers
In 'Soldados Somos de Jesus,' Ramom Santos delves into the metaphor of Christians as soldiers in a spiritual battle. The song opens with a declaration that believers are soldiers of Jesus, emphasizing their role in a divine war. This metaphor is deeply rooted in Christian theology, where followers of Christ are often depicted as warriors fighting against spiritual adversaries. The lyrics highlight the necessity of vigilance and readiness, suggesting that to win any battle, one must be constantly aware of the enemy's movements and strategies.
The song further explores the theme of spiritual endurance. When the soldiers, or believers, feel weary, they are encouraged to pray and seek strength from their 'general,' a reference to Jesus. This act of prayer is depicted as a powerful weapon, capable of summoning divine intervention. The imagery of 'fire from the altar' symbolizes the Holy Spirit's power, which rejuvenates and empowers the faithful. This divine empowerment is portrayed as so potent that it causes Satan, the ultimate adversary, to flee.
Ramom Santos' musical style often blends traditional Christian themes with contemporary sounds, making his messages accessible to a broad audience. In 'Soldados Somos de Jesus,' the repetitive chant of 'tem que correr' (he has to run) reinforces the idea of Jesus' supreme power over evil. The song serves as both a call to spiritual arms and a reminder of the strength and protection that faith in Jesus provides. It encourages believers to remain steadfast and vigilant, relying on prayer and divine power to overcome their spiritual battles.
