A message through song lyrics

 This is where I belong because I know that I am good enough in God's Eyes and that I have a place in this world. I don't understand your ways of anything I've been through when everything falls apart I give it all to you. I don't know what to say and I don't know what to do, so Lord please take my heart I give it all, I give it all to you. I give myself away, I give myself away so that you can use me. God Help Me to know that the Broken Things you Have Mended are Beautiful Things that You created. Thank you for being a good good Father.

Battles Outreach Message

 God helps us as we face battles. We face them in life, we face them in the world around us. We don't go through them alone. When we think of battles we think of how there are battles that we face with health, spiritual battles, battles with those in the army, battles around us where we don't know what to do but we know when we give it to God and we let Him take control, we know it's in His Hands. We can take things like letting it be in His Hands and giving our worries and anxieties to Him in prayer. We don't have to be afraid, as long as we have Faith and Trust in Jesus and we put our Hope in Him. God will get us to where we need in the battles that we face. I want to share just a lyric of a song I wrote for Hydrocephalus Awareness Month. The song I wrote and had composed by my piano teacher awhile back is a song called The Battle I With Others Face, now this song means a lot to me because not only did I write it for awareness month, but I wrote it in hopes others would know they are never alone in a struggle or trial they face either. Here is the lyric I want to share with all of you tonight. The lyric says: Any other time, I'm trying to be strong, but now I know that I don't have to face all of this alone. I wanted to share this line because I want all of you to be reminded tonight as well that no matter what battle, struggle, trial, no matter what it is you're facing right now, we don't have to go through any of it alone because God will always be in our hearts. He is always with us and He will never ever leave us. I want to share a quote with all of you now and the quote says this: Outside Of Christ I Am Weak In Christ I Am Strong. Another quote that I would like to share tonight says: Be Brave God Gives His Hardest Battles To His Bravest Soldiers. When we think of this, or when I think of it at least it reminds us and it reminds me in who is fighting our battles. Which brings me to the song I want to now share. The song is called Battles by The Afters. The lyrics say: This current is trying to wreck me, Like castles of sand, castles of sand, My fear, like an enemy army, Is marching again, but I'm making a stand, You surround me on every side, Your love is my armor, I fear no evil, Darkness runs from Your light, So I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid, You're going before me and oceans are parting

You're fighting my battles, When my feet are failing and my heart is shaking, You're fighting my battles, You're fighting my battles, You're fighting my battles, You're fighting my battles, Time after time, You're my refuge

You heal every scar, You're guarding my heart, Your promise, the hope that I cling to, My rescue, my friend, You come rushing in, And surround me on every side

Your love is my armor, I fear no evil, Darkness runs from Your light, So I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid

The next quote that I would like to share says: In the midst of your battles, never forget that God loves you and He has a plan for you.

The scriptures I would like to share is Jeremiah 29 verse 11 that says: For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you but to give you a hope and a future. The second scripture that I would like to share says: Isaiah 41 verse 10 says: Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. The third scripture I want to share says: 1 Timothy 2 verse 4 says: Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth. The last two scriptures I want to share are John 17 verse 17 that says: Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. The last scripture I want to share is Psalm 18 verse 39 that says: For you equipped with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me. 

God Has Never Lost A Battle, And He Is Not About To Lose One Now. Trust Him!

David Was The Last One We Would Have Chosen To Fight The Giant But He Was Chosen By God.

God Has Defended You In Battles You Didn't Even Know About.

''God Always Gives His Best To Those Who Leave The Choice With Him.''

When God's Warriors Are Down On Their Knees, The Battle Is Not Over; It Has Just Begun.

Fight All Your Battles On Your Knees.

Hand It Over To God The Battle Is Not Yours.

His Presence enables and equips us to fight our battles meanwhile remaining at peace.

When you feel overwhelmed and you're tempted to take everything into your own hands, you have to make yourself be still. The Battle Is The Lord's. 

The Battle Is The Lord's, take courage in the fight 

the weapons of this war are praises lifted high

My confidence is sure, My God has gone before

I'll sing into the night, The Battle Is The Lord's.

God is fighting your battles, arranging things in your favor, and making a way, even when you don't see a way.

Are you past the point of weary? Is your burden weighin' heavy? Is it all too much to carry? Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus, Do you feel that empty feeling? 'Cause shame's done all its stealin', And you're desperate for some healin'

Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus, He makes a way where there ain't no way, Rises up from an empty grave

Ain't no sinner that He can't save, Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus, His love is strong and His grace is free, And the good news is I know that He, Can do for you what He's done for me, Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus And let my Jesus change your life.

Prepared For Battle

Trained 

In The Word Of God

Armed 

With The Sword Of The Spirit

Trusting 

In God For Victory

God will give me everything I need for every battle I face.

My Battle Belongs To The Lord

When you turn your worries into worship, God will turn your battles into blessings. 

God Has Never Lost A Battle

I might lose battles but I will not lose my faith and the will to keep going with my God.

Fight Your Battles Through Prayer, And Win Your Battles Through Faith

The Harder The Battle, The Sweeter The Victory.

I Thought It Was The End But God Whispered: ''It Is Only A Battle, War Is Already Won ''

You can have it all, the war was never mine

Through everything, you clear the way to make it right

You give me purpose, and you take me as I am

Do what you want with my life, oh

Each battle I face you've already won

I'll never be less than the work that you've done

You hold my future, let go of my past

You're finishing what you've begun

So I'm letting go

Prayer is the best weapon to win our unseen battles

When all I see is the battle, You see my victory

When all I see is the mountain, You see a mountain moved

And as I walk through the shadow, Your love surrounds me

There's nothing to fear now for I am safe with You

So when I fight, I'll fight on my knees

With my hands lifted high

Oh God, the battle belongs to You

And every fear I lay at Your feet

I'll sing through the night

Oh God, the battle belongs to You

And if You are for me, who can be against me? Yeah

For Jesus, there's nothing impossible for You

When all I see are the ashes, You see the beauty

Thank You God

When all I see is a cross, God, You see the empty tomb

So when I fight, I'll fight on my knees

With my hands lifted high

Oh God, the battle belongs to You

And every fear I lay at Your feet

I'll sing through the night

Oh God, the battle belongs to You

The Lord Will Fight For You, And You Have Only To Be Silent

There Is No Easy Way To Victory. 

The Highest Values In Life Must Be Fought For And Won.

We look at these things and we see how God is always with us, how He has not left us and is always by our side.

You hear me when I call

You are my morning song

Though darkness fills the night

It cannot hide the light

Whom shall I fear?

You crush the enemy

Underneath my feet

You are my sword and shield

Though troubles linger still

Whom shall I fear?

I know who goes before me

I know who stands behind

The God of angel armies

Is always by my side

The one who reigns forever

He is a friend of mine

The God of angel armies

Is always by my side

My strength is in your name

For you alone can save

You will deliver me

Yours is the victory

Whom shall I fear?

Whom shall I fear?

I know who goes before me

I know who stands behind

The God of angel armies

Is always by my side

The one who reigns forever

He is a friend of mine

The God of angel armies

Is always by my side

Give It To God

Joshua 1 verse 9 says: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

This is how I fight my battles

(There's a table)

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

It may look like I'm surrounded

But I'm surrounded by You

It may look like I'm surrounded

But I'm surrounded by You

It may look like I'm surrounded

But I'm surrounded by You

It may look like I'm surrounded

But I'm surrounded by You

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

This is how I fight my battles

At Your table

Life Is A Battle

Fear Is The Enemy!

At the first sign of sickness, 

trouble, or turmoil,

fear strikes at your heart.

Fight back with your faith,

by being calm with the Lord.

Fear will have no hold on you!

Defend yourself--

by being still with your heart,

by being calm in your actions,

For Jesus does all things well, and by being quiet in your thoughts,

For Jesus is in control.

The Lord has your life in His hands!

You need not be afraid.

You need only to trust Jesus.

For when you are calm in the Lord,

Fear Has No Hold On You!

Here are some things that I would like to end on tonight.

The first thing I would like to end on says this: When the going gets tough

And my strength's not enough

I see You showing up like never before

This battle for my heart

You took on from the start

You are the peace when my mind's at war

And oh

You will never stop fighting for me

When I can't fight for myself

Every word is a promise You keep

'Cause You love me like nobody else

You stand up for me in the darkest night

When my faith is weak You're still by my side

You will never stop fighting for me

You will never stop fighting for me

The second thing I would like to share says: We fall. We break. We fail. But then, We Rise. We Heal. We Overcome.

The third thing says: 'You may have to fight a battle more than once, to win it.'

The fourth thing I would like to share is lyrics from a song by Rend Collective and the lyrics of the song say this: Let our praises remind all the darkness

Of how great and how mighty our God is

For the battle belongs to the Lord and no one else

We are standing in holy defiance

We're declaring aloud in the silence

That the battle belongs to the Lord and no one else, no one else

In the chaos, the crisis

The troubles, the trials

The shadows, the sorrows

The long nights, the hard fight

We are the prophets, the voice in the darkness

Declaring the battle is Yours

Another song I would like to share says this: When it looks like I'm surrounded by the enemy

And it feels like hope is far beyond my reach

I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle

The battle is Yours

I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle

The battle is Yours, always Yours

Oh, the battle is Yours, Jesus

When the seas agree that they should rage against me

And the storm it pours its wrath upon my head

There's a name that's sure to save, it's never-failing

Jesus, my salvation, and my shield

I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle

The battle is Yours, always Yours

I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle

The battle is Yours, it's always Yours

I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle

The battle is Yours, it's always Yours

I know the battle, I know the battle, I know the battle

The battle is Yours, it's always Yours

We realize through all of this that no matter how many times the enemy tries to knock us down, God will always pick us back up and He continues to fight for us daily.

Here is another song that I would like to share with you.

The lyrics of this song say: When lies tell me I'm on my own

And I take my eyes off You, I start to fall

Help me to rest in

The promise that You gave me

When I wait on You, I will rise

Oh-oh-oh, Your love is fighting for me

Oh-oh-oh, pushing through all my fears

I can stand my ground I don't need to run

Your love is fighting for me

Oh-oh-oh, Your love is fighting for me

By Your grace I've come this far

Your mercy holds me and carries me through

My God, You've always been faithful

Your promises are true for me

God's promises are always true, and is love is unconditional because God is love. He will always continue to fight for us because His love never runs out on us.

We then begin to also see and realize that The Battle Is The Lord's and that The Battle does belong to Him.

The weapon may be formed, but it won't prosper

When the darkness falls, it won't prevail

'Cause the God I serve knows only how to triumph

My God will never fail

Oh, my God will never fail

I'm gonna see a victory

I'm gonna see a victory

For the battle belongs to You, Lord

I'm gonna see a victory

I'm gonna see a victory

For the battle belongs to You, Lord (oh yeah)

There's power in the mighty name of Jesus

Every war He wages He will win

I'm not backing down from any giant

'Cause I know how this story ends

Yes, I know how this story ends

Gonna worship my way through this battle

Gonna worship my way through, hey

I'm gonna see a victory

I'm gonna see a victory

For the battle belongs to You, Lord

I'm gonna see a victory

I'm gonna see a victory

For the battle belongs to You, Lord

Life is a hard battle anyway. If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier. I will not allow my life's light to be determined by the darkness around me.

Know thy self, Know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.

This is my prayer in the desert

When all that's within me feels dry

This is my prayer in my hunger and need

My God is the God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire

In weakness or trial or pain

There is a faith proved of more worth than gold

So refine me Lord through the flame

And I will bring praise, I will bring praise

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice, I will declare

God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle

When triumph is still on its way

I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ

So firm on His promise I'll stand

I will bring praise, I will bring praise

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice, I will declare

God is my victory and He is here

All of my life in every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing

I have a reason to worship
