Mighty Warrior

Jeremiah 20: 11-12

But the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail...O Lord Almighty, you who examine the righteous and probe the heart and mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you I have committed my cause. (NIV Bible)
Mighty Warrior

I was preparing my message for church when as I studied the Scriptures this design came to me. I really enjoy reading and studying the Book of Jeremiah and find it so encouraging. He, Jeremiah committed his cause to the Lord. In this design I have depicted the Lord as able to be a warrior on all sides at one time. Lonnell Johnson, after seeing this design wrote this poem: Mighty Warrior leads the charge into victory. When we face each foe, Adonai begins to laugh. As the Man of War, He destroys each enemy, For the Lord of Hosts arises on our behalf. In the midst of battle He bears His arm and rides Upon all the fiery chariots of the wind. He surrounds with power and protects on all sides, As the ungodly fall and the righteous ascend. The Almighty Judge rises to discern each heart. He shakes the heavens and loosens all strongholds And then probes the depths of truth in the inner part, As the panoply of total victory unfolds. Undefeated Super-conqueror--none superior: The Master of Breakthrough is our Mighty Warrior I was honored to have this poem written about the design and Lonnell truly captured the essence of the design and the accompanying Scripture. In our role in the marketplace today we are called upon to be mighty warriors for the Lord. The neat thing is, the Lord takes care of us and protects us as we work on his behalf. We can take a stand for Jesus knowing the Lord is by our side. And, in these times we must take a stand. No longer can we be silent and sit back and be nice and politically correct. Jesus is the way and the truth, and no gets to the Father without Jesus. Share the Gospel with everyone!
