my leaders leaders today while doing a Bible study I was led to psalms 27 I want you to go to psalms 27 right now I'm going to be read out of the King James version and this is a Psalm of David David who we really know as the one who took down Goliath there's many other stories but really when I think about David my leaders I'm thinking about David's triumph over Goliath and how great of a leader he was but also how he was a man after God's heart and this Psalm 27 speaks about fear and I don't want to brush on the whole Psalms I want to make this

video a little shorter today but I want to touch just enough to be able to impress these words of scripture on you and I'm going to to read and what I'm going to do a little different too I'm going to read out of my journal input I don't typically read out of my journal I'm going to read what I wrote today and I think it's going to to impact you a lot all right so in verse one we're going to read from verse two and three we're going to start on verse one it says the Lord is my light and my salvation Whom Shall I Fear the Lord is the

strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid when the wicked even my enemies and my foes Came Upon me to eat up my flesh they stumbled and fell though in host should encamp against against me my heart shall not fear though War should rise against me in this will I be confident I'mma stop right there I'm going to backtrack one thing in Psalms 27 that it reminds us from the very beginning the very first verse is that the Lord is my light when things happen to be dark and I happen to be walking in a path that seems quite blind and I don't know where I'm going the

Lord is my light he's the one that brings me Clarity he's the flashlight in the dark room when I don't know where I'm going and I don't understand the direction that's happening in my life due to various reasons the Lord is my light he's the one that gives me Clarity he's the one that gives me in assurance in my salvation he's our savior when I'm stuck in a bind and I'm stuck in a dark space that I don't know how to get out of he's the one that I lean on he's my savior he's the one that when I'm crying out to him he reaches out his hands like it

says in Psalms and he snatches he hears the cries of his righteous he hears the cries of his sons and his daughters and he reaches his hands out to snatch us I need to know that God you're going to be my light and the Lord You're My Savior when I don't know what to do and because of that the next verse says Whom Shall I Fear the Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid the Lord is the strength of my life meaning it's not not my will it's not my flesh this is just remind us for things you leaders may already know my Believers

out there it's not my flesh that is able to take away what's coming against me because what do we read here it says when the wicked even my enemies and my foes when they came up to eat up my flesh they stumbled and Fa they didn't stumble and fall because of the way that I fought in the physical they stumbled and failed because the Lord is my salvation he's my strength he's the one that goes before me it makes me think about Joshua we've been reading a lot about Joshua this year already in January and I'm going to keep reading and quoting from The Book of Joshua all throughout this

year because Joshua was a great military leader he was a spiritual leader because Moses had passed away but he also became their spiritual leader and their military leader and when you read about Joshua what you're going to see is Joshua had a great Conquest where the land of Canaan that was given un the children of Israel Joshua as he goes out and he gets Divine wisdom and divine strategy the Bible says that the Lord went before him and already delivered the enemy into his hands the same enemies that in this Psalms were Wicked Wicked okay that were going to come up against him to eat of My Flesh this is

a uh think about some good food that's all I can think about some good food we're in a Daniel Fast so I haven't ate some of my favorite dishes right one of my favorite dish is some shrimp fried rice right with no GMO inside and if I get a a just a taste of this shrimp fried rice it's like this verse man I'm going to eat that thing up like I haven't eaten food in days something that I love my my spit starts to just I'm salivating inside and this is a picture picture you just stuffing your face to some of your favorite food to the enemy you and I

this flesh the principalities we're like this fresh beautiful meal that they can't wait to devour and I think about Joshua going into the land of Canaan where he was going to go which the word speaks about how all of these enemies were greater than the children of Israel every land that they were to conquer that they would eventually divide amongst the children of Israel all the kings were greater than the children of Israel and there was no way that he was going to defeat these enemies in his own will and in his own strength it just was not going to be physically possible but the one thing that they had

on the on their side was the King of Kings and the Lord of lords meaning no matter how high ranked that King was no matter how big his Dominion in his city was or how vast of the territory that the the enemy owned he was not greater than the King of Kings the Lord of lords the one that owns it all and could give to anybody he pleased and just so happens to want to give to the children of Israel there was favor and because Joshua and the children of Israel had the favor of God God went before them and delivered the enemy into their hands this verse says when

the wicked Psalms 27:2 even my enemies and my foes came up upon me to eat my flesh they stumbled and fell they came up upon me to devour me knowing that in their mind they were going to conquer me this is when the enemy comes down and presents Temptations your sins the things that we typically fall into and we have to repent our weaknesses the Thorns of the flesh they stumbled and fell and the reason they stumbled and fell is because when you and I go to God there's nothing that can truly come against us this why the previous verse Rhymes literally with this next verse Whom Shall I Fear

and whom shall I be afraid when I have this knowledge of the Lord and Savior the one that wants to save me check this out verse three though a host should encamp against me my heart shall not fear though War should Rise Against Me in this will I be confident the word in Hebrews 10:35 talks about how our confidence shall be richly rewarded and that's just not our confidence of us being proud in our own flesh it's our confidence in Jesus Christ shall be richly rewarded and I'm reminded of a few individuals in my life right now have been going through what appears to be a war so basically it

don't even feel like it's one enemy coming after it feels like a myriad of individual when you think about a war a war is a multitude of individuals coming to fight up against one another when I think about a war all I can think about is me having my camp and the other enemy having their camp and US clashing together it's a battle it's a battle that is not something on a small scale but a war is always something on a larger scale and it says that though War should rise against me in this will I be confident and many of you all may be watching this video and it

just feels like a war has taken place and it's one day after another or one thing after another that continuously comes back again and again time after time you're in a war and sometime in this war there small battles that you typically lose and I need you to forgive yourself when you lose those small battles because the only way to win the war is to forgive yourself for these small losses these small losses may be those times when the enemy comes in with certain types of Temptations and you give in and you end up falling short and now you have this contrite spirit and you have this shame and now

you have this guilt okay and now you feel like Dam I can't win the next battle because here's the thing with the Enemy the enemy doesn't care about you the enemy has no so form of mercy no form of Grace and no form of sympathy and so while you're still down there beating yourself up the enemy is going to keep coming and he's going to keep attacking and he's going to keep beating you and he's going to keep stabbing you and he's going to to keep doing the very thing to keep you as low as possible until there's no point until depression gets you in this lock in choke hoold

to where now you forfeit your life and you try to commit suicide or do something that is just not like you you begin backsliding and You Begin going to this dark place that you're not trying to stay in this is how the enemy plays the enemy is not of God it's nothing but wickedness and nothing but darkness and will keep you down there as long as you don't understand this information of God being your strength of him being your light of him being your your savior as I believe you walk this walk of this war that already been defeated by Jesus Christ You Are Victorious and you're Victorious because the

one that you and I serve and the one that you and I love died on the cross okay became a curse for you and I rose on the third day ascended to heaven and check this out gave us the greatest gift not only is it salvation but he gave us the gift of the Holy Ghost of the Holy Spirit the revealer of all all truth the anointing the reason we have this profound Authority and his power the same Holy Ghost right the same spirit that quick look at Jesus right Ros from the grave is within you and I now when we lack the awareness of this straight it becomes a

hindrance to us because of our ignorance and we don't realize that God is with us it says the kingdom of God is within the Lord is with us and when we come against these enemies in this war that will end we must have confidence that the enemy has already been delivered into our hands we have the victory you don't have to stand there and feel shameful or feel guilty when you lose these battles the beauty that we have now instead of having to sacrifice ox and goats we have this idea of repenting and I did a video earlier this week about repent and refocus just repent and ask the Lord

for strength turn acknowledge that you don't have the strength to win this battle on your own and that I need you Lord Jesus Christ to help me and if you don't help me I will not be able to move forward I just won't be able to do it there's just no other way for me and when you're calling on God earnestly like this my leaders every single time without fail he will give you the strength you will be able to get back up but you have to remember that God loves you so much that he gave his only begotten son for you for Sinners Like Us and now made us

Sons and Daughters of Jesus Christ right the ABA the father we're brothers we're sisters we're hirs God is slow to anger in his patience the level of patience and his longsuffering it abounds much why is it so important to know about grace and mercy when dealing with war because the schemes and the principalities that are in dark places they don't fight us like humans fight us it's not all fist fights all right it's not all arguing with with somebody it's not it don't look the same way every single time sometimes it's psychological warfare you're dealing with stronghold in your back in your mind you're dealing with a words that somebody

said or something that somebody spoke over you something negative that a loved one said in your family you're dealing with a myriad of different things and so it's very vital and very key to understand the war that you're in it may not look like guns being shot at you arrows being thrown at you it may look different for everybody but best believe that there's a war going on and which is why I always say we got to keep being in prayer we got to keep being in his word cuz even me I'm getting attacked at times and I got to realize that the word speaks about that I'm not ignorant

to the enemy's devices you are not ignorant to the enemy's devices let's read this again the Lord is my light and my salvation Whom Shall I Fear the answer is knowing the Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be be afraid the answer to that is no one when the wicked even my enemies and my foes Came Upon me to eat my flesh they stumbled and fell though and host should encamp against me my heart shall not fear though War should rise against me in this will I be confident let's pray dear Lord heavenly father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ father we just want

to say we love you as we come to you now with your leaders who are watching this video from across the globe and father I just want to cover them with the blood of Jesus right now and I lift them up in prayer and I encourage them that if there's been an enemy that has been coming against them and camping around them trying to produce fear trying to eat of their flesh literally trying to devour them this season to where they run away from you to where they run away from people to where they isolate it just feel like they're the only ones going through what they're going through father

I ask that you strengthen them today this is the day that you want to strengthen them this is the day that you want to lift them up this is the day that you want to give them a new understanding of how much that you love them how much grace you have how much Mercy you have for them Father give them the strength to fight the schemes of the enemy Lord let this video be a reminder that you're their light and you are their salvation and in the name name of Jesus Christ every tongue shall confess and every knee shall bow so father today after this message we just want to

say that we repent we repent for anything that we've did to disrespect you we repent for anything that we've done to go against your word father we repent for even allowing the enemy to win some battles but the enemy shall not win the war so father God go before me deliver my hand hands out of the enemy and deliver the enemies into my hands father I trust you I Choose You my life depends on you and I need you so father we thank you for this time we thank you for this peace we thank you for this word Lord God we love you and it's in your precious son Jesus
