• 2:08
  Speaker 2: learning the Word of God through music based on the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: lesson only original music that you can get here at
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: your daily portion dot com. Let's go ahead and pray. Father,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: We thank you, Thank you for the privilege of prayer,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the privilege of you fighting for us. Please help us
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to allow you to and get out of your way.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: In Jesus name, I pray, Amen and Amen again God
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: he fights for you, Oh God, I thank you. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: let's read the memory text memory text from the lesson
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: from Joshua chapter ten and verse forty two. They have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it here in the English Standard version, and the Bible reads,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and Joshua captured all these kings and their land at
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: one time because the Lord God of Israel for Israel,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: because God fought for his people, Thank God. And so
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: our first lesson, our first lesson is the God who
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: enters the battle, He's the one that wins. The God
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: that enters the battle is the one that wins. Let
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: me read it again from Exodus chapter fourteen and verse
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: fourteen to give it another perspective. The Lord shall fight
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: for you. Did we not just read that with the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Joshua text, and ye shall hold your peace? Did we
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: not read that in the Joshua passage where God gave
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: those kings into the hands of Joshua. Yeah, so the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Lord will fight for you. So when life feels like
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a battlefield, and it is, it is it is a battlefield,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: which is why in Ephesian six, the Bible writer says
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that we should put on the entire armor of God
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that we may be able to withsit than the wicked one,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and then he gives us seven implements of war, including
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: prayer at the end of the passage, so that we
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: will not be overcome by the enemy. Okay, so the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: When life feels like a battlefield and it is, I
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: interrupted myself. Remember that God doesn't send you to fight alone.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: That was never his intention. That was never his intention.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: He goes before you and he fights for you. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: remember Moses saying, God, if you will not be with us,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: please don't send us. God, if you will not be
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: with us, please please don't send us. There's just literally
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: too much going on. Let's go with our lesson number
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: two before I get too overwhelmed here. And this is
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: about a war within the larger war from Revelation twelve
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: and verse seven, until we get it, until we get it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And there was war in heaven. That's where it started.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: We talked about that multiple times last week. Mikay Yell
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and his angels fought against the dragon, and of course
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the dragon loss. The devil got kicked out with his
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: evil angels, and so every earthly conflict reflects the great controversy. Yeah,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: reflex the Great Controversy. In fact, I want you to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: go to Amazon and pick up and pick up that
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: book one day. If you don't already have it, you
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: can also read it online for free, The Great Controversy
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: by Ellen White. That is one of the most incredible books,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: especially considering the times in which we live. But every
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: earthly conflict reflects the cosmic war first ignited in heaven.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: What seems like a human struggle often mirrors the spiritual
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: warfare between God and the enemy. You see when you're
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: at work and these things get really crazy and people
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: are acting the fool and people are losing their mind
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: over whatever is happening and not able to relate to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: one another as civil human beings. Yeah, that's because there's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: a war much bigger going on over our heads, the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: cosmic conflict between good and evil. When your children seem
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to have lost their minds, or children your parents seem
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: to have lost our minds and start to do things
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that are not according to the word of God, it's
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: because there is a war going on in heaven. Or
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: there was a war going on in heaven and the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: devil lost, and now he's bringing it down here because
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: there is a great controversy happening in these moments. But
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: guess what. Jesus kicked the devil out. He won the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: war in heaven. So that means that in this one
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that is now being waged here the final frontier. I
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: was being melodramatic there. This is the final frontier. And ultimately,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: when Jesus continues to win this one down here and
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: people choose to side with him, and ultimately at the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: end of time we go to heaven for a thousand years.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And after the thousand years are finished and God is
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: creating now the inheritance of the New Earth, He's going
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: to have to destroy the Devil and all of those
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: who have decided that they don't want to love love,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: they don't want to be on the Lord's side, they
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: do not want to be at peace with God, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: therefore they will have to be destroyed. Why because that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: pulse of love, that single pulse of love which God is,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: needs to reverberate throughout the entire universe, and right now
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: we're the ones holding it up because of our goofy
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: decisions to serve the enemy, and because of the enemies
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: hold upon human kind on planet Earth. But when God
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: finally gets him out of there. The universe will be
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: as God intended from before there was a beginning. Okay,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: And so the Bible teaches us in Isaiah chapter nine
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and verse six, thank God for unto us, a child
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: is born. Hmm. And I'll fast forward, and his name
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: shall be called Wonderful counselor the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the Prince of Peace. God never intended for us to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: be at war anywhere in the universe. It was never
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the reality. He always wanted peace, even as he fought
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: for God's people. His prophets looked forward to the day
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: when the Prince of Peace, as we read in Isaiah
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: one of his prophets, the Prince of Peace would end
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: all violence because the government would be upon his shoulders,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: not on the shoulders of humans that can't get along. Like,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: sometimes I really shouldn't go into this, but sometimes I
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: wonder how this war thing really works on planet Earth
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: because I'm like, there are some rules of engagement. There
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: are things, according to the Geneva Convention, that are off limits.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I won't say it because I don't want my channel
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to get knocked on this side note, but the point
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: is there are some things that different countries do to
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: discipline themselves when engaging in war, And I'm like, well, God,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: if the people can during war discipline themselves to avoid this,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: avoid that, Avoid these places where people worship, avoid these
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: places where people are being taken care of, avoid these places,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: then why not just have peace? If you can be
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: that disciplined there to why not just be disciplined and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: have peace. But I digress. God fights for you ultimately. Ultimately,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: if you yield your will to God, he will win
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: over the enemy in your life and you will be
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: saved peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
