The Lion of Judah will soon return to rule and reign on the earth, with His Lioness Bride by His side. There is a battle raging – the war between truth and lies, between light and darkness, between the children of God and those opposed to His dominion. The war is real, it is intense, and we need to fight with every weapon of His warfare available to us.

We are to wage war by standing strong in the LORD and in the Power of His Might by wearing His armor, that He, Himself, wears. “And He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore His arm brought salvation unto Him; and His righteousness, it sustained Him.   For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. (Is. 59:16-21).

We must always be equipped with the knowledge that we do not wrestle with flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of the dark world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. “Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore…” (Eph. 6:13-14). STAND your ground where faith can be found, STAND your ground where hope can be found. STANDING is a military term for not giving ground to the enemy. Fight with all you got, then STAND. A warrior is more than a soldier. A warrior fights with passion for a cause one believes in. A soldier is drafted, perhaps against his will, and is paid for his efforts. A warrior will fight for family, friends, and country, no matter what the cost. A warrior fights to the death, without any compensation. The passion of the cause, forces the necessity of war. As Kingdom warriors, we also fight by “praying always with…supplication in the Spirit, and watching…with all perseverance…” (Eph. 6:18).

There is no weapon formed against the Believer that shall prosper. The weapons may form, but they do not accomplish the destruction the enemy designs. Instead, that which was designed for our harm, is turned around for our good. There is no undeserved curse that can be placed on an obedient servant of the Most High. The Lioness, who has joined forces with the Lion of Judah, will demonstrate the power of God. The world will watch and wonder: “What hath God wrought!  Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain” (Num. 23:23-24).

“When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.  As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever” (Is. 59:19-21). His Word in our mouth is a powerful weapon of warfare. Speak the truth about the situation, the trial before you, and watch Adonai fight for you.

Fighting is an action. We must all advance when commanded, and stand still when the Mighty Warrior gives the instruction. Each day we should “Arise as a lion each morning to do the will of our Creator” (Shulchan Aruch – the Jewish code of law). This includes the heartfelt conviction that there are things worth fighting for. Whatever we place value on or cherish will be under the attack of the Enemy. Arising to defend our marriages, families, grandchildren, and ministries will cause scars, lots of scars, in our lives. Trusting in Adonai’s Right Hand victory as we fight, gives us the confidence in knowing that we have fought His battles with Him. Every victory is His.

“Through God we shall do valiantly: for He it is that shall tread down our enemies” (Ps. 60:12 & Ps. 108:13).

“The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the Right Hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.  The Right Hand of the LORD is exalted: the Right Hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD” (Ps. 118:15-17).

Because of His victory in our lives, we have a great and awesome God to praise.

Through our God we shall do valiantly.
It is He who will tread down our enemies
We'll sing and shout His victory.
Christ is King,

For God has won the victory
And set His people free.
His word has slain the enemy.
The earth shall stand and see that...

Through our God we shall do valiantly.
It is He who will tread down our enemies
We'll sing and shout His victory.

Christ is King! Christ is King!
