Zephaniah 3:17
\nThe Lord your God is with you,<\/em>
\nthe Mighty Warrior who saves.<\/em>
\nHe will take great delight in you;<\/em>
\nin his love he will no longer rebuke you,<\/em>
\nbut will rejoice over you with singing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lord is strong, he has given us his mighty power. He is a warrior, God and King, and has worked righteousness and salvation himself for his people. He is victorious, mighty to save, full of love and delight, and fully able to rescue us. This is the warrior Paul had in mind. He rescued us not in the way we would have imagined. He has conquered death, sin, and the bondage in our lives through his work on the cross. It is in this warrior God that we receive our armor.\u201d [paraphrased from Brenda\u2019s message]<\/p>\n

We are strong only in the Lord. This is the full armor we have received and can put on every day to stand firm. As we declare this, let\u2019s worship to, “Exalted Over All<\/a>\u201d<\/em> by Vertical Worship.<\/p>\n

Prayer:\u00a0 Lord, you are our Mighty Warrior who saves! You are strong and mighty to rescue us and we are victorious because of what you have done on the cross for us.\u00a0 You alone are worthy! In Jesus\u2019 name, Amen.<\/p>\n
