"Stop being afraid and stop being discouraged because of this vast invasion force. This battle doesn't belong to you, but to God."
It's so encouraging to know, without any doubt, our Great Almighty loving GOD is forever with us. And we have nothing to fear. This battle has been won already. We are all victorious.
'In everything, we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us. I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love—not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!" Romans 8: 37-39 CEV
I always look forward to your Sunday morning shares. Thank you for reminding us the battle battle is the Lord’s. It’s odd how standing still and waiting for him is the hardest thing to do, sometimes. God Bless You, Dr. Tenpenny. 🙏🏼💕💖
What a fine reading this Sunday. We were going to the Kingdom Hall this morning but “life” got in the way and we can’t go...so we listened to your lovely prayer “Let God Fight for You” and we feel that closeness to Jehovah God that calms our spirit living in this world. Mark 10:27 was the best reminder too. Thank you Dr. T. Blessings to you for taking the time for your fellowman.
Seems I have to be reminded minute by minute God’s grace and that He will never leave or forsake us. The evil is so thick and day by day it increases. Thank you for today’s message. Now I have to get ready and go to church.
It turns out that the Hebrew word for “be still,” Psalm 46:10 is “rapha,” which is also the word for “healing.”
As children, when we get hurt falling off of our bike, our mother or father need us to be still in order to treat and bandage the wound. This can be a challenge sometimes, especially if we were nervous kids, highly prone to fidgeting.
It’s as if the Lord is saying to us that in order for Him to mend a situation, He wants us stop fidgeting (in the spirit.)
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
It’s a prophetic exploration of the word (and the Word!) for me. Most of the pursuits in my life since childhood were with the intent of healing; one of those gifts is making music.
I was just reading 2 Chronicles 13-16 this morning. It was all about giving our battles to the LORD. Here's one passage that summarizes it all for me:
'Abijah set the battle in order with an army of valiant warriors, [400,000] choice men. Jeroboam also drew up in battle formation against him with [800,000] choice men, mighty men of valor....And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. [While Abijah was giving a lengthy speech to his men] ... Jeroboam caused an ambush to go around behind them; so they were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them. And when Judah looked around, to their surprise the battle line was at both front and rear; and they cried out to the Lord , and the priests sounded the trumpets. Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. And the children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand. Then Abijah and his people struck them with a great slaughter; so [500,000] choice men of Israel fell slain....the children of Israel were subdued at that time; and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the Lord God of their fathers.'
II Chronicles 13:2-3,13-18
This shows God is trying to tell us He will win our battles for us, if we just let Him.
'Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! and the peace of God, which surpasses ALL understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Be anxious for NOTHING, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;'
Philippians 4:4,6-7
The peace of God which surpasses ALL understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. God is our Father in heaven and His kingdom is right here. It's not ours. It's His. Let's ALL let go and let God!
"Position Ourselves - shoulder to shoulder - with our Tribe, who may or may not be our blood relatives."
Specifically, the rest of those who belong to the Kingdom of God. Just a quibble, but "tribe" sounds like a group that humans might choose. That's not what we want. We want God's tribe. I know that's what you meant, but just wanted to clarify. Otherwise, yea, baby! That's it.
Amazing Grace as always Dr. T! I’m often so overwhelmed trying to figure out where & what my spirit should be focused on each day in this fight for humanity. Always upon reflection I hear God’s call that the most important thing I can do is PRAY 🙏
I really needed this today. Thank you for sharing and reminding me of God’s parental love and protection of all of His children.
Thank you, Dr. T

Dr. T, this is post is “hard copy worthy!” A printout to highlight and write notes on. We needed this reminder, this encouragement today.
Thank you for listening to Him and standing firm.

Such a wonderful reminder of God’s faithfulness and goodness! We need to let go and let GOD!!! Thank you Dr. T! God bless you! ✝️💜
In this serious situation, it is time for every conscience that is still pure to ask: Where shall we go?
And the answer is not difficult to give: Back to Christian Morality!

Rapha is also an anagram of 'A harp'. Sing and make music in our hearts and we will become healed.
