Dear Precious Friends,
On this Fill our Soul Sunday, I pray you are able to gather at an amazing Bible Teaching church filled with the Holy Spirit and beautiful worship that takes you to the throne of God.
I am so touched by this reminder on how we battle. We know we are either in a battle, coming out of a battle or getting ready for a battle. So what do we do?
The way you learn to do battle is to walk through the battle. The way you learn to be internally steady is for the storm around you to rage. In the midst of adversity, you learn to lean on the Rock. Strength is forged through trouble. Trials teach us to sharpen our sword.
We all have private battles we are facing. Let's turn to God's word .
In Joshua 6-10, we see God helped Israel have victory. He caused the walls of Jericho to fall down and stopped the sun in the sky, so Israe
l could fight all night long and win!
l could fight all night long and win!We know through the reading of scripture that God goes before us in all of our battles. He fights for us.
If you you wearing yourself out trying to battle your battles on your own, turn to the one who fights our battles... the one thing we must have is faith!
God’s battle plan looks nothing like man’s. His ways are higher than ours. God has given us spiritual armor to fight. But if the battle belongs to the Lord – then how DO we fight?
Here’s 10 Verses to Remember in the Midst of Your Battle
