  Speaker 1: Nobody, and I do mean nobody does it like your
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie at it's time,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: right now for today's word. Clothed, encouraged, armed in strength, clothed, encourage,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: armed and strength. Psalms eighteen thirty two says, it is
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You know, when David stepped onto the battlefield to face Goliath,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: everything in the natural said he didn't stand a chance.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Goliath was trained, he was experienced, and massive in size.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: David was young, overlooked, and armed with nothing but a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: sling and five smooth stones. But David understood something that
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the giant did not. Strength is not determined by what
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you see. It's determined by who stands with you. Come on, Jesus.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: David had already fought lions and bears in secret places.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: He had learned that it was God who armed him
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: with strength, not his size, not his skill alone, not
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: his resume. God. There will be moments in your life
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: when your natural ability is not enough. Times when the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: sickness seems too aggressive, the opposition to intimidating, the heartbreak
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: too deep, the dreams too far out to reach Your
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: willpower may carry you for a season, but eventually you'll
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: face something that requires supernatural strength. See that's when this
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: promise becomes personal. The same God who empowered David empowers you.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: There is a divine force breathing on your life, a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: strength beyond adrenaline, a courage beyond personality, a resilience that
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense on purpose. You're not facing your giants alone. No,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: here's the key. Victory begins in your mind. You can't
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: think we can walk in power. You can't rehearse defeat
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and expect victory if your internal dialogue is filled with
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I can't, I'm not enough, or this is too much.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: You're living in the strength God is already placed inside
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of you. Your thoughts either activate your faith or paralyze it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: David didn't stand before Goliath saying I hope this works out.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: He declared the battle is the Lord's. He saw himself
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: as armed with Heaven's strength long before he released the stone.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: What are you declaring over your life? Instead of saying
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I'm overwhelmed, try I'm equipped instead of I don't see
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a way, declare God is making a way instead of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I'm too weak for claim I am strong in the Lord.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: When you align your thoughts with God's truth, something shifts
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in your life. Courage rises, peace settles in confidence grows
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: not in yourself alone, but in the one who arms you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: The giant may still be there, obstacles may still look large,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: but you'll stand differently, you'll pray differently, you'll move forward
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: differently because you know this. The Lord who arms you
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: with strength has already secured your path. You're not unpowered,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you're not out matched. You're armed with heaven strength and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: walk like it, speak like it, and you need to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: believe like it. Father, God, thank you that you are
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the one who arms us with strength and secures our path.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: When we feel weak, remind us that your power is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: working in us. God our thoughts, God, from fear and intimidation.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Help us to think strong, faith, feel thoughts, and to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: declare your promises boldly. God, we believe you will take
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: us through, over, and around every obstacle before us. In
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name. That's your word for today. Take it, apply
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: it to your everyday life, and you continue to be
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: encouraged and inspired. It's your early waning praise party. I
