- 0:03Speaker 1: macke at. It's time right now for today's word. The
- 0:08Speaker 1: Warrior Within. The Warrior Within Isaiah forty two thirteen says
- 0:16Speaker 1: the Lord will march out like a champion, like a warrior.
- 0:20Speaker 1: He will stare up his zeal with a shout. He
- 0:24Speaker 1: will raise the battle cry, and will triumph over his enemies.
- 0:29Speaker 1: You know, there are seasons in life when the battles
- 0:32Speaker 1: feel overwhelming. It may be discouraging a medical report, a
- 0:37Speaker 1: broken relationship that left you wounded, or a situation where
- 0:41Speaker 1: you were treated unfairly. And in those moments, it's so
- 0:44Speaker 1: easy to feel out numbered. It's so easy to feel
- 0:48Speaker 1: worn down and unsure of how things are gonna turn
- 0:51Speaker 1: around for you. But here's the truth. You have to
- 0:54Speaker 1: hold on to what God has promised you. You are
- 0:58Speaker 1: not fighting alone at leaves or forsakes you. The scripture says,
- 1:02Speaker 1: the Lord goes out like a mighty warrior on your behalf.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Think about that. The creator of the universe, the all
- 1:09Speaker 1: powerful God, is not distant or passive when it comes
- 1:13Speaker 1: to your struggles. He's right there. He's actively fighting for you.
- 1:17Speaker 1: He sees every injustice he sees every tear. As a
- 1:21Speaker 1: matter of fact, the Bible says, he collects every tear,
- 1:24Speaker 1: he sees every setback, and he declares, if anything comes
- 1:28Speaker 1: against you, it has to come through me first. See,
- 1:31Speaker 1: God has already proven his faithfulness in your life. He
- 1:34Speaker 1: brought you through difficult siaesons before, and guess what he'll
- 1:37Speaker 1: do it again. The same God who made a way
- 1:40Speaker 1: in the past, and still working in your present and
- 1:43Speaker 1: preparing your future for victory. But while God is fighting
- 1:47Speaker 1: for you, he also calls you to rise up. You
- 1:50Speaker 1: can't stay stuck in self pity, constantly replaying what went
- 1:55Speaker 1: on and what went wrong and who hurt You know
- 1:58Speaker 1: dwelling on the pain will only drain your strength and
- 2:01Speaker 1: keep you from moving forward. There comes a moment when
- 2:04Speaker 1: you've got to shake off that defeated mind and step
- 2:07Speaker 1: into the warrior mentality. A warrior doesn't bag down because
- 2:11Speaker 1: of opposition. Opposition fuels their determination. A warrior doesn't spend
- 2:16Speaker 1: time complaining. They stay focused on the victory ahead. A
- 2:20Speaker 1: warrior knows that the battle may be intense, but defeat
- 2:24Speaker 1: is not an option. When you adopt that mindset, something
- 2:28Speaker 1: shifts on the inside of you, strength begins to rise,
- 2:31Speaker 1: Courage replaces fear, faith overrides down. You begin to declare,
- 2:35Speaker 1: this challenge will not defeat me. This setback is not
- 2:39Speaker 1: the end of my story. I am stronger than I
- 2:42Speaker 1: feel because God is with me. And here's the promise.
- 2:45Speaker 1: When you do what you can, God will step in
- 2:48Speaker 1: and do what you can. Come on, Jesus, He will
- 2:51Speaker 1: give you the endurance to keep going, the wisdom to
- 2:54Speaker 1: make the right decision, and the strength to overcome what
- 2:57Speaker 1: once felt impossible. So today you lift your head, you
- 3:01Speaker 1: square your shoulders, and you get your fire back. Oh. Yes,
- 3:04Speaker 1: you are not a victim of your circumstance. You're a
- 3:07Speaker 1: warrior and the victory is on your side. Father, Thank
- 3:11Speaker 1: you that you are our mighty warrior and that you're
- 3:15Speaker 1: fighting for us. Thank you that your strength is greater
- 3:19Speaker 1: than anything we face. God, help us to rise up
- 3:22Speaker 1: with courage and shake off every defeated mindset, walking into
- 3:26Speaker 1: the authority that you've given us. God, we believe that
- 3:29Speaker 1: you are leading us into victory in Jesus' name. Hey,
