Hello My Friends, Welcome to God Focus This Morning. The title of today’s episode is, “Warriors Are Overcomers.”

Many authors have experienced the blank page stare. That is, you sit looking at a blank sheet, not knowing what to write. An idea will come, and it is just a stray thought. Then, you sit wondering how to expound the idea into an article or a book.

I sometimes find it hard to find things to share with all of you. The word of God is so full of stories that make good points. How many ways can I tell you how wonderful the Lord God Almighty is before I repeat myself? There are times I feel like I share the same things over and over again. But I have been given the task to encourage you to walk as close as you can to God.

I walked through some dark times with depression. God truly delivered me and set me free. I feel like the best days are ahead. I know our country is getting ready to walk through some dark times, but Jesus is our light, and we will find our comfort and safety in Him. I am not naïve enough to believe there will not be trials and troubles. However, I believe in Jesus enough to know that he will carry me through whatever I face.

There is no one more reliable than our Lord. He is not a man that he can lie. When he says something will happen, it will. When he says He is going to do something, He will. We need to find enough strength and faith to know that there is nothing that we could face that Jesus will not be there to see us through. He is the calm in the eye of our spiritual storms. He is our rest and peace when the chaos surrounds us. Every day we need to learn to lean a little more, trust a little harder and love a little deeper.

The random thought today was about being a warrior in God’s army. Do you know you are a warrior? A problem that ancients warriors didn’t have, they knew who they were and trusted their abilities. They trained hard and understood what they were capable of doing. They trusted their king and put their lives on the line for the cause of the king.

Today, we fight battles in the spiritual realm, but often, we do not know who we are in Christ. We do not fully trust our king. We often give our enemy more credit than he deserves. The Psalms are full of David’s concerns, fears and prayers as he faced battle. But he didn’t lose heart, he kept leaning on His God. David trusted God with his whole heart. The Psalms reflect the heart of David. He trusted God and did not allow himself to fear.

There are many soldiers in God’s army, but not all will become warriors. A warrior will face the battles and sometimes end up with scars. But they stood boldly when the battle raged against them and looked to their God to fight with them. Soldiers have training and are brave. A warrior is someone who has faced the enemy head on and stayed strong. They continued to fight when most would have given up.

Anything you overcome; you have power over it. In my case, I overcame depression. I now have power over it. Does that mean that the enemy doesn’t try to come back and tell me the lies to get me in that place? No. But I know his tricks when it comes to that area of life and know how God helped me conquer it the first time.

We can take every new thing that we face and apply a measure of faith. God helped me to overcome that battle. I can conquer the new thing the enemy is trying. If we keep focused on our King, we will be strong in battle, because he has given us the equipment we need to overcome the enemy.

Psalm 24:8-10 Who is this King of gloryThe Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

The King of Glory is the Lord strong and mighty. There is nothing we will face today that will overtake him or surprise him. He will give us new strength for each new day. We overcome evil by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. We need to open our mouths and share what the Lord has done for us.

Until next time,

Be Bold, Be Brave and Keep Your God Focus

Have a great day!!
