This blog post is a companion to our Sunday sermon video. We encourage you to watch the full message below for a deeper understanding of God’s faithfulness in fighting our battles.
The Promise of Divine Protection
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life’s battles? Perhaps you’re facing challenges that seem insurmountable, much like the Israelites standing before the Red Sea with Pharaoh’s army closing in. In those moments, God wants you to remember one powerful truth: He fights for you.
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14:14
Three Reasons God Fights Your Battles
1. Because He Has Made an Unbreakable Promise
Think about this: God’s commitment to fight your battles isn’t based on your performance or worthiness. It’s grounded in His unchangeable promise. Just as He promised to fight for the Israelites, His promise extends to all His children today.
When you face opposition, remember that you don’t need to convince God to help you – He’s already committed to your victory.
2. Because You’re Part of His Family
“Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.” – Ephesians 2:19
Your position in God’s family gives you access to divine protection. This isn’t just a casual relationship – you’re a child of God! Consider how earthly parents rush to defend their children; how much more will your heavenly Father fight for you?
3. Because He Knows Our Enemy’s Capabilities
“For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” – 1 John 3:8
Here’s a sobering truth: we often underestimate our spiritual adversary. But God knows exactly what we’re up against. He understands that we can’t win these battles in our own strength, which is precisely why He steps in to fight for us.
The Power of Anticipatory Praise
Want to know the secret weapon in spiritual warfare? It’s praising God before you see the victory. Think about this: if you’re going out to pray for rain, shouldn’t you bring an umbrella? That’s faith in action!
When we praise God in advance, two powerful things happen:
- Your problems appear smaller because God appears bigger
- Your anxiety decreases as your faith increases
Standing Firm in an Unshakeable Kingdom
“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.” – Hebrews 12:28
You might be shakeable, but the kingdom you belong to isn’t. In Christ, you’re part of something immovable and eternal. This truth should transform how you face every battle.
The 7-Day Challenge
Here’s your challenge for the next week: Every time you face a difficulty, instead of immediately asking God for help, start with praise. Thank Him for fighting your battles before you even see the outcome. Keep a journal of how this practice transforms your perspective.
Your Response: Being Battle-Ready
To walk in this truth, you need to be:
- Rooted in Christ – deeply connected to your source
- Built up in faith – growing stronger daily
- Established in God’s Word – knowing His promises
- Abounding in thanksgiving – practicing gratitude
Remember, you’re not asking God for a favor when you need His help in battle – you’re claiming a promise He’s already made. He’s not just preparing to help you; He’s already there in your tomorrow, making a way.
