Isaiah 42:13

Born a Warrior King

11/04/2023

As the celebration of the birth of Christ nears each year, we focus on the babe in the manger. But, that babe was born a Prince with a kingdom to defend.  That babe was born with an angelic army at His beacon call. That babe was born a “WARRIOR” King as Isaiah 42:13 foretold, “The Lord will go forth like a WARRIOR, He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies.” The babe stormed hell and overcame death. The babe is the victor over the devil and his demonic army. Christ will one day return to earth but not as a babe. He’ll return as the Warrior King that He is. With whom will we share the good news?

Lord, we praise You, WARRIOR King from on high.

Born a Warrior with a Kingdom to Defend

11/11/2021

As we celebrate Veteran’s Day and remember and honor people who have served in the United States Armed Forces, our hearts also turn to honor Christ who was born with a kingdom to defend.  That babe was born with an angelic army at His beacon call. That babe was born a “Warrior” King as Isaiah 42:13 foretold,

The Lord will go forth like a WARRIOR, He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies.

The babe who grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men (Luke 2:52) defeated the devil and death.  Christ will one day return to earth as Warrior King that He is. With whom will we share this important news this week?

Lord, we praise You, WARRIOR King from on high.

As the celebration of the birth of Christ nears each year, we focus on the babe in the manger. But, that babe was born a Prince with a kingdom to defend.  That babe was born with an angelic army at His beacon call. That babe was born a “WARRIOR” King as Isaiah 42:13 foretells, “The Lord will go forth like a WARRIOR, He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies.” The babe stormed hell and freed us through His death on the cross. The babe is victor over the devil and his demonic army. The babe is returning to earth as Warrior King. With whom will you share the good news?

Lord, we praise You, WARRIOR King from on high.

Praise to Our WARRIOR Lord

12/15/2017

“The Lord will go forth like a WARRIOR,
He will arouse His zeal like a man of war.
He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry.
He will prevail against His enemies.”

Isaiah 42:13

WARRIOR” isn’t the first description I think of when praising my Lord. Nor the second or third. Actually, I think this may be a first for me to praise the Lord for being a WARRIOR.  But don’t we need warriors? Don’t we want others to go out and fight on our behalf; to protect us from the enemy?

On Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day we celebrate those who stormed beaches and fought in fox holes to defend our freedom from enemies. Why, then, would we think it strange or even perhaps wrong to think of Christ as a Warrior?  Isn’t He our champion over the devil? Didn’t He give His life to gain our freedom from sin? Jesus, our Warrior, fights on our behalf. And, He will return one day not as the Lamb of God, but as a WARRIOR. 

Lord, we praise You, WARRIOR from on high.

WARRIOR

05/27/2013

“The Lord will go forth like a warrior,
He will arouse His zeal like a man of war.
He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry.
He will prevail against His enemies.” 

Isaiah 42:13

“Warrior” isn’t the first description I think of when praising my Lord. Nor the second or third. Actually, I think this is going to be a first for me to praise God for being a warrior.  But don’t we need warriors? Don’t we want others to go out and fight on our behalf; to protect us from the enemy? On Memorial Day we celebrate those who died fighting for our freedom. Let us also celebrate the ONE who died fighting for our freedom from sin and death and who continues to fight for us. 

Lord, I praise You, WARRIOR from on high.
