My King

 No weapon forged against you will prevail,
   and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
   and this is their vindication from me,”
   declares the LORD.

~Isaiah 54:17~

Who am I?
I am a conqueror!

I beat my body and make it my slave..."

~1 Corinthians 9:27~



I will conquer what has not been conquered. Defeat will not be in my creed. I will believe where others have doubted. I will always endeavor the prestige, honor, glory and respect of my King. I have trained my mind and my body will follow.

Who am I?
I am a conqueror!

  The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

~Deuteronomy 28:7~

I will acknowledge the fact that my enemies do not expect me to win. But I will never surrender. Weakness will not be in my heart because my King is my strength. I will look to my comrades, to those who have helped bring me through this world, to those who have trained me, and I will draw strength from them as well.

Who am I?
I am a conqueror!

 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.
You armed me with strength for battle;
   you humbled my adversaries before me.
You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
   and I destroyed my foes.
They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
   to the LORD, but he did not answer.

I beat them as fine as windblown dust;
   I trampled them like mud in the streets.

~Psalm 18:37-42~ 



I will gladly go into the field of battle and I will move, run and do everything that I can do. I will reach my field of battle by any means at my disposal, and when I get there, I will arrive violently. I will rip the heart from my enemy and leave it bleeding on the ground, because he will not stop me.

Who am I?
I am a conqueror!

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

~Romans 12:9-11~

To my side I have comrades. Comrades who have been with me through thick and thin. Through highs and lows. Through sacrifices, through blood, through sweat, through tears, through laughter, through love. Never will I let them fall! Never will I leave them abandoned to fight alone! Never will I leave one of them behind! Because our enemy does not know my heart.

Who am I?
I am a conqueror!

With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

~Matthew 19:26~

No one will define me but my King. No one will tell me who and what I am and what I can be but my King. Belief will change my world. It has moved continents and countries and hearts and it will carry me through my battles. He will carry me through.

Who am I?
I am a conqueror!

We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of

our God...

~Psalm 20:5~



Defeat. Retreat. Those words are not in my heart. I do not understand those definitions. I don't understand when things go wrong. I don't always understand mistakes. But I do understand this: I understand my Victory and I understand never surrendering, because He is in me. No matter how bad things go, my heart and my mind will carry my body when my limbs are too weak. Because my King is my heart and my King is my mind!

Who am I?
I am a conqueror!

“In the time of my favor I heard you,
   and in the day of salvation I helped you.”

   I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.

~2 Corinthians 6:2~



Today will be that day. Not tomorrow, not next week, but right now, right here, in my heart and in my life.
My enemy will remember me, and I will not have to worry about him being kind. I will define myself through the Grace and Power and Love of my King. I will write and sing and live and fight His praises. And no one will tell me what I can or cannot be but my King. I will never give up, not without giving everything I've got. Because who am I?

I am a conqueror!

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

~Romans 8:36-39

The Best Is Yet To Come...

(Most of this was a speech made by a coach to his team. I changed a few words to relate to me and the Lord.)
