The Battle Is the Lord's
"And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands." (1 Samuel 17:47)
These
were the ringing words of faith uttered by young David as he faced the
Philistine giant, Goliath.
Without
armor, or spear, or shield, and with only a sling and five smooth stones, David confronted the nine-foot champion of the pagan army in the name of
the true God,
and soon the giant lay dead with his face to the ground.
The
battle must always be the Lord's.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against . . . the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).
Spiritual battles are not won by bullets, nor by ballots, nor
by any human means. "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will
remember the name of the LORD our God" (Psalm 20:7).
"There is no king saved by the multitude of an host:
a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. . . . Behold, the eye of the
LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy" (Psalm 33:16, 18).
We even have a mandate to attack the
enemy in His stronghold.
Christ taught, "Upon this rock (of faith in
Christ as divine Savior) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18)
It
is easy, in trying to do a work for God, to rely on human abilities and
devices, but these will fail, for the battle is the Lord's.
When the battle is going well, we must not boast,
for the battle is the Lord's.
When the battle is going hard, we must not
despair, for the battle is the Lord's.
He is our strength. "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after
the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through
God to the pulling down of strong holds)" (2 Corinthians 10:3-4).
In
this spiritual war, there are no fence-sitters – you are either on the Lords’
victorious army or with the wicked “Powers” of Satan.
Be sure
you are listed with the victorious army of the Lord. Settle that sin
issue right now by saying this prayer:
.
.
“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from
You.
I am truly sorry. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life and
live a new life pleasing to You.
Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected
from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my
heart from this day forward.
Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for
the rest of my life. Thank you, Lord, that according to Your Word, I am born
again. I promise to obey You and study your Word – the Bible.
Use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.”

“The Battle Belongs to the Lord”
John Michael Talbot
lyrics
In heavenly armor we'll enter the land
The battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that's fashioned against us shall stand
The battle belongs to the Lord
We sing glory and honor
Power and strength to the Lord
Power and strength to the Lord
(repeat)
The power of darkness comes in like a
flood
The battle belongs to the Lord
He's raised up a standard, the power of His blood
The battle belongs to the Lord
The battle belongs to the Lord
He's raised up a standard, the power of His blood
The battle belongs to the Lord
we sing glory and honor
power in strength to the lord
power in strength to the lord
(repeat)
When your enemy presses in hard do not
fear
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend, your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend, your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord
the battle belongs to the lord
battle belongs to the lord......
battle belongs to the lord......
