Rely On El Gibbor, God, the Mighty Warrior

“The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:14)

In 2025, conflict has infiltrated the home, workplace, social media, and every society. Oppression, mass job layoffs, economic instability, political corruption, and violence exists globally, and according to Bible prophecy will continue to increase.

“Numerous diseases once considered nearly eradicated or well-controlled have seen a resurgence in recent years.”

Our Fight Is Against Satan’s Dark Power

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” (Ephesians 6:12-13).

Believers, we are the target in an invisible Spiritual War of Good and Evil. Every day, we face temptations, schemes, and scams devised by Satan to produce personal devastation, and place fear in our hearts.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1).

Matthew 24 and 2 Timothy 3 [The Last Days] are the times we live in, and our response to the continuous discord must be continuous prayers of faith asking God for His Divine Help, Spiritual Wisdom, and Discernment.

Our Heavenly Father knows every challenge, demonic attack, and hardship, we will face, still, no spiritual warfare happens in the believer’s life unless it has been approved by our Intercessor, and Mighty Warrior, Jesus Christ.

The Spiritual Purpose of Hardships

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 1:2-4, NIV).

The Daily Believer’s Prayer: “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” (Psalm 25:4-5).

King Asa’s Prayer of Faith

When the Ethiopian Army of one million soldiers came against Asa, the King of Judah, his immediate response was a prayer asking for God’s Divine Help.

“And Asa cried out to the Lord his God, and said, ‘Lord, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O Lord our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O Lord, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!’ ” (2 Chronicles 14:11).

“So the Lord struck the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.” (2 Chronicles 14:12). Through the Power of God, the Ethiopian Army was annihilated.

The Mighty Warrior God of Biblical Times Is Still a Mighty Warrior Who Rescues and Delivers! Yes and Amen.

“The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles.” (Psalm 34:17).

Active Faith is the Foundation of Our Relationship With Christ

Too often, we place faith in our limited human wisdom and abilities, but Christians who do not place their faith and trust in God through daily surrender and obedience can never stand against Satan’s Warfare.

“…above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…” (Ephesians 6:16-18).

Steadfast Faith requires total dependency on God. The raging battles, we face are greater than ever! Love is the foundation of our loyalty to God.

“Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ ” (Matthew 22:37).

To live as Overcomers, from the moment we awaken, we dedicate ourselves as Courageous Prayer Warriors because we love and trust God.

Yes, through faith we are saved by grace, still God requires us to actively participate in our salvation. To experience spiritual growth and character transformation requires full cooperation with the Holy Spirit.

“And He who sent Me is [always] with Me; He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.” (John 8:29, Amplified Bible).

Christ Is the Commander of Angel Armies and Believers Who lived an earthly life of faithful obedience to God, the father.

Preparing for Eternal Life is to daily seek God’s will and plans by searching the Scriptures, and continuously praying for the Power and Presence of the Holy Spirit.

The Bible was written for Christian believers. The Holy Scriptures reveal God’s Love, His Righteous Character, Commandments, and Precepts, which impart knowledge, guide us in our spiritual journey, and prevent us from detouring off of the Path of Righteousness.

Our faith [and relationship with Christ] is nourished and grows through daily personal worship. At least one to two hours per day, we should separate ourselves and worship God through prayer, fasting, and studying the Scriptures.

God’s Promises Are Eternal

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name;You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior…” (Isaiah 43 1-3).

Without knowledge of God’s promises, when facing adversity, we join the group of believers who suffer from anxiety and discouragement because they only possess a superficial knowledge of God.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6). When experiencing trials, or hardships, a spiritual knowledge deficit results in asking the question, “I am suffering, where is God?”

“Jesus says, ‘I will never leave you or forsake you.’ ” We have nothing to fear in the present, or the future when we live as consecrated Soldiers in God’s Army who strive to put God first.

With humility, whether in times of peace, or adversity, the faithful are always on bended knees, praying and asking for our Mighty Warrior’s Divine Help and Strength.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7, ESV).

Bible Study: 2 Chronicles 14

Lord God, we thank you for being our Mighty Warrior. We ask for the blessing of supernatural strength to live as courageous soldiers in your Army. Give us wisdom and discernment, as we study the Holy Scriptures, and teach us how to apply Your Righteous Precepts to our lives. We thank You for being a Loving and Protective Heavenly Father, and look forward to the day when Christ will come, whose Righteous Name, we ask this prayer, Amen.

“Real Impact Comes When We Shift From My Plans to God’s Purpose”

Sanctification is the lifelong spiritual process of Spiritual Growth and Character Transformation necessary to receive our reward of Eternal Life.

The difference between unbelievers and believers is that we love God. And we demonstrate it by surrendering ourselves every day in prayer, asking for His Divine Plans to be revealed, and for the spiritual strength to obey and fulfill His plans.

Peace and Blessings

God Uses Challenges to Build Our Faith, and Increase Our Dependency on Him

Today, I started reading a Devotional entitled, God Is With Us, but I could never get past the introductory Scripture [Job 19:25-27], which is Job’s proclamation of steadfast faith and hope during his worst suffering.

As I read the Scripture again, Job’s faith made me reflect deeply on the status of my wavering faith. What were the obstacles preventing me from having steadfast faith?

“Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith [in God].” (Habakkuk 2:4, LSB).

The only way for our faith to grow is to let go of our pride and self-will. Unfortunately, the thought of redirecting our faith from ourselves to being totally dependent on God, usually results in feelings of ambivalence. 

But, what if we started asking God to resolve our minor interruptions instead of using our thoughts to quickly resolve them? It is our habit of excluding God from the minor challenges that reinforces the unrighteous characteristic of self-reliance.

The flat tire, the call from the school nurse that your child is sick and you need to come now, and the unexpected living expenses are just routine matters of life that we can easily resolve, but they are also faith-builders that provide the perfect opportunity to whisper a prayer, asking God for His Divine Help and Strength.

Best Spiritual Practice: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5).

“…Great is Your faithfulness. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.” (Lamentations 3:23, 25).

The decision to redirect our focus and faith from ourselves to God reveals our desire to surrender our will completely to God’s Sovereign Authority, and to trust His Faithfulness. Take the leap of faith, and just do it!

“The just shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:17). As our faith grows, we begin to live with the conviction that God is always faithful, and we freely exchange self-reliance for dependency on God.

Whether we are facing the routine matters of life, or major challenges, we respond with a prayer of faith, which eliminates all frustration, fears, and worries.

Because Steadfast Faith believes that God is who He says He is, we proclaim a sincere, Thank you, God, knowing that our Heavenly Father will give us an outcome that glorifies His Holy Name. Yes and Amen!

Lord God, in faith, we approach the Throne of Grace asking for Your Divine Help in our time of need. We believe in Your promises to intervene and give us a complete resolution, and thank You in advance for giving us the victory. In Jesus’ Righteous Name, we pray, Amen.

Jesus Is Faithful and True

Sabbath Peace and Blessings to All!

When we surrender ourselves to God, we can rest in the Loving Arms of Jesus, our Savior, Redeemer, and Shepherd who promises to never leave us.

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” (John 10:14-16).

Follow Jesus, and He will guide you on the Path of Righteousness in your spiritual journey from Earth to Heaven.

Lord God, as we rest from our secular responsibilities and labors, we ask for a blessing of renewal and restoration spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. We thank you for answering our prayers that we ask in the Worthy Name of Jesus, Amen.
