Good Morning Sisters,
THERE IS NO BATTLE TOO BIG FOR HIM!!!
What an incredible demonstration of God’s strength! So raw and so pure. Victoria had a tough week and did not feel like leading last night, but she did not allow her feelings to rule her Spirit. She leaned on the Lord and HE DELIVERED! How perfect is that! Her message was on DELIVERANCE.
2 Peter 1:3 says “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”
God promises that HE has given us EVERYTHING WE NEED IN THIS LIFE! The God who calls us into a radical way of living gives us radical grace to do it. We have no natural ability on our own to do the things God has called us to do. This is why we need JESUS.
God never leaves us to our character, strength or resources. There is NO battle too big for Him.
She read Psalm 27 as she has clung to it during this whole quarantine. (below)
In this psalm, David was being pursued by his enemies. This Psalm is a song of hope for those who are in trial and have learned to lean on the Almighty arm.
She also talked about a sermon the Lord led her by her favorite pastor Joel Osteen. She listens to him while in her car. The sermon was entitled “Blessed in the Valley”. How awesome is that? Wednesday’s study was about “walking through the valley of the shadow of death”. The Lord is confirming His Word to us in SO many ways. The message was about King Jehoshaphat and how he led the Israelites against a very formidable enemy. It was a battle that they could not have won on their own. How interesting that the Lord did not put in his strongest warriors on the front lines. He put the musicians (without weapons) on the front lines. They went into battle singing and praising the Lord, confident in the Lord’s love for them. Their attitude was “if the Lord is for us then who can be against us?! The Lord told them to position themselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Their enemies turned on one another and destroyed themselves.
What was the hard part? Standing still. That’s because we want to fight our own battles. The hard part is the “surrender.” Be still in Hebrew means to “let go.” God is telling us to LET GO and let HIM fight for us.
Jeremiah 32:27 says “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me”
We serve a BIG God! He is a God of deliverance! He follows through with His promises and never lets us down.
Is there a lot of uncertainty in the world today? Yes, and a lot of confusion, lies and deception. This is because the prince of the power of air is desperate as he knows his time is running out. We must guard our hearts by being intentional with what we watch and who we listen to.
There is ONE THING that we can be very certain of and that is we serve a GOD OF DELIVERANCE!!! We know the end of the story. GOD WINS! HE DELIVERS the victory into our hands!
She ended by reading Psalm 35 and reassuring us of God’s love for us.
Our next call is on Sunday. We will be praying for our nation. Michele Bandy will be leading.

Psalm 27
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2
When the wicked advance against me
to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3
Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4
One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5
For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
6
Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7
Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9
Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10
Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
11
Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12
Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
13
I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
