Battle Belongs – Psalm 27:1-3 – Conquering Fears

 

This is “Namma for Christ” with the one hundred eighty-second inspirational message dated Saturday, March 27th, 2021. The title of this message is, “Battle Belongs – Psalm 27:1-3 – Conquering Fears”.  “Battle Belongs” (as provided below in the accompanied video – with lyrics) is a song that I first heard on my favorite Christian radio station STAR 99.1FM. I knew that after I heard this song – I knew that I would want to share “this song” in my next message.

 

The below scripture is what King David wrote “in acknowledging the Lord’s power over his fears (and over his enemies) in the 1st through the 3rd verses of the twenty-seventh chapter of Psalms.

(These verses also happen to be “favorite verses” of my late grandmother and were “much quoted” by her):

 

Psalm 27:1-3

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

27 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 came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.

 

The title of this message also includes the words – “Conquering Fears” – which is similar to the title of the Charles Stanley Daily Devotional for (3/19/21) – which I have included below:

 

How to Conquer Your Fears

Psalm 27:1-3

By Charles Stanley

 

       I’ve walked with the Lord for more than seven decades now. I have read the Bible from cover to cover, preached thousands of sermons, and written pages and pages of study material. But let me tell you: In spite of all that, sometimes I still get scared.

       When fear begins to sink in, I pray harder, study longer, and read my Bible more closely. I decided long ago that I would not let apprehension stop me from doing what God calls me to do. However, before I can take a stand against fear, I have to admit it is there. That’s the key to conquering feelings of anxiety.

       I imagine you, on occasion, may feel frightened too – whether of failure, ridicule, loneliness, or something else entirely. There is no shame in admitting you’re afraid. In the Psalms, in fact, King David makes this confession several times! (See Psalm 34:4 & Psalm 55:4-5). His confessions are often wrapped in prayer, acknowledging the Lord’s power over his fears and his enemies. And these are examples we can follow.

       That same power is available to you today. God wants to cast out the fear and doubt in your life.

Are you willing to go before Him today and say, “Lord, I’m afraid of…”?

I pray that you have enjoyed the above message and I pray that you will enjoy the accompanied song.

Always remember God’s awesome LOVE for us – His children. God loved us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to this earth for us – to redeem us of our sins so that we may have eternal life. See John 3:16 below -

John 3:16

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Always remember that you can cast ALL your cares on the Lord for He cares for us – see the below verse:

1st Peter 5:7

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

7casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

 

In the accompanied song (see below) – Phil Wickham’s lyrics repeat:

 

“And every fear I lay at Your feet,

I’ll sing through the night -

Oh God, the battle belongs to You…”

 

Lastly, always remember - “Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you” – see the below verse:

 

Hebrews 13:5b

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

 

Please enjoy the below song, “Battle Belongs (with lyrics)” by Phil Wickham - performed with power and anointing.
