And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel. (Joshua 10:42)
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: (1 Peter 5:6)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

God size answer

Joshua was a man of prayer and trusted in God's promises. He knew that his victories were not a result of his leadership but of depending on the power of God. Joshua prayed confidently in the midst of combat, and God answered his prayer by making the sun and moon stand still. The church that prays and leaders who pray for the supernatural and extraordinary with humility and faith receive God-sized answers. The key is to put Jesus at the center, cry out for God's will, and trust in his power to do the impossible. Each day in Christ is a new opportunity to glorify God and worship Him in the midst of our battles. Read more...

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : I completely depend on the power of GOD for Him to do his work. I love you my lord.
Beloved brother Enrique, your comment is very accurate, and your love for our Lord is a sign of your faith and dependence on Him. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas well mentions in his devotional, God fought for Israel in its conquest of the territories of kings in Joshua's time. In the same way, God is powerful and works in us when we humble ourselves before Him and completely depend on His power. As 1 Peter 5:6 says, "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time." Let's keep trusting and depending on God's power in our lives, and He will work in us in a glorious way. Blessings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Francisco Diaz S.: In our faith is our strength, let us keep that in mind when we are in difficulties.- The Lord does not abandon us.
Dear brother Francisco, you are absolutely right. In times of difficulties it is important to remember that our strength does not come from ourselves, but from our faith in the Lord. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas well mentions in his devotional, God fought for Israel in its conquest of the territories of the kings in the time of Joshua. In the same way, God is powerful and works in us when we humble ourselves before Him and completely depend on His power. As 1 Peter 5:6 says, "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time." Let us keep our faith in the Lord and trust in His power to overcome any difficulty that comes our way. God never abandons us, He is always with us. Blessings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Gustavo Martinez Afanador : It is very difficult for the son of God to fight without God's support, but if he commits to serve and put all his trust in God, he will be with you in the battles, because prayer with faith makes the Christian strong, because it depends on God. Blessings
Brother Gustavo, you are absolutely right. As the verse that Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas quotes in his devotional says, Josué and the Israelites were successful in their conquest of the kings' territories because God was fighting for them. And so it is in our Christian life, if we commit ourselves to serve and put all our trust in God, He will be with us in battles and give us the strength and wisdom we need to face them. Prayer with faith is a powerful tool to stay connected with God and depend on Him at all times. May the Lord bless you and give you the necessary strength to continue on your Christian path. Blessings!
