“What shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31 KJV). It is in this assurance that we confidently rise up to fight back and speak to the enemy, “This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.” (1 Samuel 17:46 KJV)
In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter sheds light on the nature of our inheritance in the Lord, the unfailing Word of God, and what is required of us to take hold of the Lord's promises in our lives through the word of faith.
Pastor Jeffrey Walter exhorts us in this episode, "Boasting in the Lord", to find confidence and comfort in God's promises, no matter how mechanical clinging on to them seems at our lowest. He emphasises on the need to rise in confidence to relentlessly fight the enemy, highlighting why and how we must fight, all the while boasting in the Lord.
This message will uplift your soul and give you a good reason to charge at the enemy in great confidence. Pick up your armor and prepare for war. The Lord your God is on your side!
