Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Nobody, and I do mean nobody does it like your
- 0:03Speaker 1: early body praise party. I am Sherry macke. It is time,
- 0:07Speaker 1: right now for today's word, Built for the battle, Built
- 0:14Speaker 1: for the battle. Isaiah twenty seven five says, let him
- 0:18Speaker 1: take hold of my strength. Life will place demands on
- 0:23Speaker 1: you that feel heavy. They'll feel unfair, and it'll be overwhelming.
- 0:28Speaker 1: There will be seasons when the pressure is constant, the
- 0:32Speaker 1: opposition is real, and it seems like one thing after
- 0:36Speaker 1: another is coming against you. A person you trust and
- 0:40Speaker 1: may betray you. A door you expected to open me
- 0:43Speaker 1: suddenly close. You can reach a point where you think,
- 0:47Speaker 1: I don't know if I can even keep going. But
- 0:51Speaker 1: God never allows pressure without also providing power. He would
- 0:56Speaker 1: not permit a challenge to come your way unless He
- 1:00Speaker 1: had already equipped you with what you need to overcome it.
- 1:03Speaker 1: The fact that you're facing it is proof you can
- 1:06Speaker 1: handle it. You are not weak, you are not behind,
- 1:10Speaker 1: You are not about to break. You've been designed for
- 1:15Speaker 1: this moment. The scripture doesn't say take hold for your
- 1:18Speaker 1: own strength. It says take hold of His strength. That
- 1:24Speaker 1: means when your patience runs out, his doesn't. When your
- 1:28Speaker 1: courage feels depleted, His is unlimited. When you feel like
- 1:32Speaker 1: giving up, God gives you fresh determination to keep on standing.
- 1:38Speaker 1: You don't have to react in bitterness and anger or fear.
- 1:42Speaker 1: You don't need to prove anything. You don't need to
- 1:45Speaker 1: defend yourself or get revenge. Strength isn't found in fighting back.
- 1:51Speaker 1: It's found in staying steady. Real power is the ability
- 1:55Speaker 1: to forgive even when it hurts, to stay calm when misunderstood,
- 2:01Speaker 1: and to trust God when the outcome is uncertain. Come on, Jesus,
- 2:07Speaker 1: Every difficult siason is stretching you for where God is
- 2:10Speaker 1: taking you. He's building spiritual muscle. He's deepening your character.
- 2:15Speaker 1: He's increasing your capacity. What feels like pressure is actually preparation.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Instead of saying this is too much, shift your language.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I'm anointed for this, I'm equipped for this. I'm stronger
- 2:28Speaker 1: than I feel. You may be walking through a valley,
- 2:32Speaker 1: but you are not meant to live there. Valleys are temporary.
- 2:35Speaker 1: They shape you, not define you. On the other side
- 2:38Speaker 1: is growth, promotion, clarity, and new levels of peace. God
- 2:43Speaker 1: is saying today, don't shrink back, don't give up. Take
- 2:47Speaker 1: hold of my strength. You are built for this battle,
- 2:50Speaker 1: and you are coming out victorious. Come on, Jesus Father,
- 2:55Speaker 1: Thank you that when we feel weak, you remain strong.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Thank You that we don't have to renow on ourselves,
- 3:02Speaker 1: but we can take hold of your strength. God. We
- 3:05Speaker 1: declare that we are equipped, we are empowered, and we
- 3:08Speaker 1: are anointed for every challenge we face. God, we will
- 3:11Speaker 1: not be overwhelmed. We will not, but God, be overwhelmed
- 3:15Speaker 1: by what the enemy is sending our way. We will
- 3:19Speaker 1: overcome in Jesus' name. Now that's your word for today.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Take it applied to your everyday life, and you continue
- 3:27Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspired as you know that you
- 3:30Speaker 1: are built for the battle. It's your early morning praise party.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I am Sherry Nacky
