#524 Our Valiant Warrior Zephaniah 3:17
“The LORD your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.” Zephaniah 3:17
Thank you for being a valiant warrior in the midst of our experience and in the midst of our hearts. Valiant means determined and courageous! He is determined for our victory: Every promise is a statement of that determination and commitment!!!
His loved is determined and tenacious: “I have loved you with an everlasting love…”
an everlasting affection. Jer31:3 His Checed Love is stable and constant: ‘Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,’ says the LORD, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10
He is determined for our victory
*over guilt and sin: Isaiah 61:10 You have clothed me with garments of deliverance and a robe of righteousness.
*in every need: Phil 4.19 You will supply all our needs
*in every extremity: Psalm 139:7-12 “Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens you are there; if I make my bed in the depth, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, and your right hand will hold me fast….”
*in ALL THINGS Romans 8.38: FOR WE KNOW that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for GOOD
He is courageous for our deliverance:
Eph 6:10-12 There is no force or power in heaven or earth that causes Him to shrink back from His purpose. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power…For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, abut against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
*No weapon formed against you will prosper. Isa 54.17
*No circumstance is able to separate us from HIS love Romans 8:31-39
John 16:33 (Again!) Paraphrased: I have told you these things that you might have peace—I know exactly what your challenges are and shall be. There will be pressure and challenge in this world. But have courage and be bold: I have overcome—gained victory over—the Kosmos, the present arrangement of evil, sin and death, and now have all power in heaven and earth and so I know how to empower you to overcome.
We can sense the voice of Jesus in these verses: Claim my victory as your own.
Don’t trust the appearance of ignominy and defeat—as when I was on the cross—as a sign of true defeat. The seeming defeat was actually my victory.
Do not judge yourself by the outside appearance and what others—including yourself, may label as failure….I have overcome the world, and you will overcome the world through the anointing power of the holy Spirit and with the same guidance and strength I received from my Father, my Valiant Warrior, which guidance and strength is also now mine to impart.
