 Be A Warrior 

“The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name.” —Exodus 15:3

Some people are born with more of a warrior spirit than others. We’re all wired differently. Some people are more outgoing, and some are more gentle. You’ve probably heard people say, “I’m a lover, not a fighter.” Regardless of our natural bent, we have to be able to take out of the reservoir of the Lord within us that which is necessary for every situation. And sometimes it’s necessary in life to be a warrior—to make decisions and act in a way that might be very hard in the natural.

Think, for example, of Abraham. Abraham was a kind and loving person, but there were certain times in his life when he had to be a warrior in order for him to obey God. For instance, the Lord spoke to Abraham and said, “I want you to leave your father, your relatives, and this place that is familiar to you, and I want you to follow Me.” It took a warrior spirit for Abraham to rise up, cut off his past, and enter into the new reality and destiny that God had for him.

Now consider this: There may be certain things in your life that you’ve been tolerating, and God doesn’t want you to tolerate them any longer. There may be certain changes in your life that need to be made, but you haven’t made them because you’re afraid they’re going to hurt somebody. If you have been passive in your spirit, I want to remind you today that one of the attributes of your Father is that He’s a warrior, and as His child, that same warrior strength has been imparted to you.

So I say to you today in the name of Jesus: Rise up and be the warrior that our Father has called you to be. Make those decisions Jesus is asking you to make. Take those actions in your life that God is asking you to take. You have the Spirit of God living in you. That means you have a warrior spirit. “The Lord is a warrior, the Lord is His name” (Exod. 15:3).
