Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nobody, and I do mean nobody. Does it like your
early morning praise party with me, your girl Sherry Mackie.
And it's time right now for today's word. Built for
the battle, Built for the battle, Isaiah forty one to
ten says, I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties. Yes,

(00:20):
I will help you. Think back to your life twenty
years ago. If you had face some of the difficulties
you're walking through today, they might have crushed you. But
here you are still standing. Still believe He's still moving forward.
Why Because God has been strengthening you and heartening you
to difficulties. Every test you've endured, every storm you've outlasted,

(00:42):
every challenge you've faced, has been developing your spiritual muscles.
God knows exactly what you can handle. He allows challenges
not to break you, but to build you. With every
level of favor, there comes a new level of opposition.
With greater influence, This comes greater giants. If He didn't
toughen you through smaller battles, you wouldn't be ready to

(01:05):
step into the bigger victories He has prepared for you.
Maybe right now you feel uncomfortable, you feel stressed, or
even weary, but don't mistake God's preparation for punishment. He's
not making you suffer. He's depositing strength, endurance, and faith
on the inside of you. He's enlarging your capacity for
blessing and responsibilities that you have ahead. So take heart.

(01:32):
Every difficulty you're enduring has a divine purpose. God is saying,
I'm making you strong enough to walk in the fullness
of what I've prepared for you. So stay faithful, keep believing,
and keep pressing forward because your strength today is a
sign of a greater destiny waiting tomorrow. Come own, Jesus Father,

(01:53):
thank you for every season that has strengthened us in
every challenge that has prepared us. Thank you that you
are increasing our endurance, you're increasing our faith, and you're
increasing our capacity to handle greater blessings. Help us to
see difficulties not as setbacks, but as preparation for where

(02:14):
You're taking us. In Jesus' name. Hey, now that's your
word for today. I want you to take it, apply
it to your everyday life, and you continue to be
encouraged and inspired with me, your girl, Sherry Mackie, Knowing
you are built for the battle
