GLORY HIS TRUTH & HIS WARRIORS MARCH ON

BELIEVER -- YOUR ARE NOT A VICTIM -- BUT A TARGET!
YOU ARE A MIGHTY WARRIOR IN THE LORD'S ARMY -- FEAR NOT!
"YOU therefore MUST ENDURE HARDSHIP AS A GOOD SOLDIER of Jesus Christ."

Lee Greenwood - The Battle Hymn of the Republic
DECLARATION:
SATAN YOU AND YOUR OPPRESSING DEMONS ARE A TEMPORARY SITUATION
BY MY RESISTANCE THE BIBLE SAYS YOU MUST FLEE FROM ME!
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, today I calmly WALK THROUGH with you what ever may come my way.
This morning, I have willingly picked up my cross in preparation for any and all sorrows or joys you may allow to come my way.
Though trials may come I want to steadily advance with you WALKING THROUGH it all by my side.
Thank you Lord, I truly do recall the many times you have WALKED THROUGH SHADOWS OF DARKNESSES that were punching at me and often knocking me down as fear tried to overtake me -- the auto accidents, the illnesses, the griefs, the regrets, and also my lonely and lost times I forgot you or couldn't accept or trust your love to lead me in righteousness!
Lead on now this day Lord, though there may be plots of evil or wolfs prowling and trying to devour me, I know from past victories that the protection of your staff will drive them away and we will walk together tending others (lost or hurt) and adding others who want to come along to join your flock.
It will be a good day because we won't be stopped along the way by any enemies, dangers, or fears -- WE SIMPLY WILL WALK THROUGH ONE MORE LOVELY DAY TOGETHER.
AMEN
"The VALLEY OF SHADOW OF DEATH may denote THE MOST severe and TERRIBLE AFFLICTION, or dark dispensation of providence, that the psalmist ever could come under. Between the part of the flock on earth and that which is gone to heaven, death lies like a dark valley that must be passed in going from one to the other. But even in this there are words which lessen the terror. IT IS BUT A SHADOW OF DEATH: THE SHADOW OF A SERPENT WILL NOT STING, NOR THE SHADOW OF A SWORD KILL.
It is a valley, deep indeed, and dark, and miry; but valleys are often fruitful, and so is death itself fruitful of comforts to God's people.
IT IS A WALK THROUGH it: they shall not be lost in this valley, but get safe to the mountain on the other side."

Psalm 23 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible
PSALM 23
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

4 Yea, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,
I WILL FEAR NO EVIL;
FOR YOU ARE WITH ME;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
"In Acts chapter 4, Peter prayed: 29 “Now, Lord, look upon their threats, and GRANT to Your servants that with all BOLDNESS THEY MAY SPEAK YOUR WORD. 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.”
Acts 4:31 “And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and THEY SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD WITH BOLDNESS.”
Not only were they filled with the Holy Spirit and boldness, but God answered their prayer for miracles. In the next chapter, the very shadow of Peter was healing the masses. (Acts 5:15-16)"
O Victory in Jesus

FAITH OF A WARRIOR -- DEFLECTOR DESERTER

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES, against POWERS, against THE RULERS OF DARKNESS of this world, AGAINST SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS in high places."
Ephesians 6:12

"FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."
1 Timothy 6:12

"Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's."
2 Chronicles 20:15
For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man.
The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5

So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you.
James 4:7

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].
2 Timothy 1:7

For He has rescued us and has drawn us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,
Colossians 1:13
Above all, taking the SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Ephesians 6:16

But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6

The just shall live by faith.
Habakkuk 2:4

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
James 2:19

This is the victory over the world, even our faith.

LORD'S ARMY
Did you join only for the benefits or to the fight for souls and eternal victory?

DEBORAH -- A FIGHT FOR FAITH


WOMAN OF COURAGE - CLOTHED IN BOLD FAITH!
TRUST; for with God there is victory against all odds.
"Awake, Awake" "Arise"

Do not be hindered -- don't stop now!
Put on your lion's heart, roar with your faithful heart of courage and honor your calling for this generation's deliverance!
As you continue to step forth, God has supportive followers who will awake & arise with you.

Deborah, This mighty but humble HOMEMAKER gave God all the Glory and COUNTED IT A PRIVILEGE TO SERVE THE LORD AS ONE OF HIS DEVINE INSTRUMENTS.

The sin of Omission was great in their land just as it is now in our land.
“In those days every man did that which was right in his own eyes.”
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."
Proverb 14:12

"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." Isaiah 5:20

Deborah was a leader among the Israelites. 

She solved their disagreements (Judges 4:5). 

The Bible calls her a prophetess, or woman prophet (Judges 4)
Judges 5 (Song of Deborah & Barak)
THE SONG OF DEBORAH
Judges 5:1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

2 Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.

4 Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

5 The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.

6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the Lord.

10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

11 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the Lord go down to the gates.

12 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

13 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the Lord made me have dominion over the mighty.

14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.

16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

22 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.

23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty.

24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

30 Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

31 So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
