THE LORD GAVE US THE VICTORY
THE LORD GAVE US VICTORY
A Celebration of the Lord’s Victory

Throughout the Bible, when the Lord sent Israel into battle, the Word of God reads: “The Lord your God has given you victory over them.”
Their only part in the victory was their obedience to His will and word.
Moses, Ex. 15:1: …I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea. The LORD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him--- my father’s God, and I will exalt him! The LORD is a warrior, Yahweh is his name!
Joshua 10:9: “Do not be afraid of them,” the LORD said to Joshua, “for I gave you victory over them. Not a single one of them will be able to stand up to you.”
There was 400 years from the death of Joshua to the death of Samson. Throughout the Book of Judges the LORD continues to use ordinary people with imperfections to be used as warriors of the Kingdom.
Repeatedly at every battle the Lord said, “The Lord has given you victory.”
Because of sin, man is prone to wander from God. Departing from God leads to servitude and oppression. The people cried out to God for a deliverer and God moved over and over again by sending a Deliverer and gave his people victory. He is the one who fights for us. He is the one who gives the victory.
In the year of our LORD, 2024, without the Lord delivering our nation, we were at the point of our government being totally given over to the wickedness of the spirit of antichrist with anti-God government leaders who had set in motion a take-over of our nation with anti-government forces intent on destroying our Judaea/Christian culture and our constitution.
The LORD again raised up a Deliverer who was fearless against the media control and abuse. The overt attacks on Christianity, and American Jews were given free reign. The Lawfare against Donald J. Trump and those who were in his administration were equal to the Marxist Imperialism of World War 2.

“No weapon formed against him prospered.
No American in the modern era has faced the kind of hatred President Trump faced. There is no politician in our lifetime who has been attacked like this man.
As Richard Porter said today, ‘It’s a comeback story for the ages: Despite two impeachments, two assassination attempts, four criminal indictments, 34 felony convictions, and coverage from the big three networks that was 85% negative (as opposed to 78% positive for his opponent), Donald Trump triumphed over all the hate and the haters to win his second term in the Oval Office.’
Even now his enemies are seething. They want to see some storm troopers and concentration camps, just so they can say they were right about him being Hitler. Alas, there will be none of that.
Instead, we will see our enemies think twice about starting a war. We will see families rescued from the Democrat economy. We know we will see crime drop in our streets and we will have a secure border.
He won because people believe he will make us great again. He won because so many more women needed groceries than abortions.
Try to explain how he survived. There is no natural explanation. His reputation was viciously attacked on January 6, 2020. The so-called insurrection made him radioactive for any political career.
Yet, as he sank to his lowest point, he picked himself up and began the long road to triumph. That is when everything began to look amazing.
He was impeached but not convicted. Trump was told he could not be president because of their lame interpretation of the 14th amendment.
Time and again they came after him with everything they had. The entire legacy media have constantly made him their target. Yet none of it would stick.
They threw every weapon of slander, Lawfare, and intimidation at him. Only this verse can explain it:
Isaiah 54:17, No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me, says the Lord.
Any shred of doubt I had that Trump would win was obliterated in Butler, PA. Only God could move his head at the precise moment the bullet was fired. He said that he felt the hand of God push him to the ground. I believe it!
No weapon formed against him prospered. At the victory rally in Mar-a-Lago he said, ‘I know that God saved my life to save America.’
In the wee hours of November 6th, the State of Alaska was called for Trump, which gave him the presidency.
At that moment I felt as if I could see fire fall from heaven—the way it did on Mount Carmel. It consumed every weapon formed against him. It vaporized the lies, the threats, and the resistance.
He is God’s choice for America. He, like every president before him, is an imperfect vessel. But the Bible explains it in 2 Corinthians 4:7; But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
Only God will get the glory for the greatest comeback story in American history.” (End of quote by Mario Murilo).
Psalm 18 (2 Samuel 22) is David’s victory psalm of thanksgiving to the Lord for all that He saved him from and the many victories the Lord gave David as the Lord’s chosen vessel to be King over Israel.
I decree this blessing over our nation, our President, Congress, government leaders, our families, and the Church universal.
Psalm 18:50 (K.J.V.): He gives great deliverance to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
This Psalm is a perfect pattern of praise, thanksgiving, and a great revelation of the method, might, and mercy of God as he revealed himself to His servant:
Psa. 18:2: The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
“Hardships often prepare ordinary people for extraordinary destinies” (C.S. Lewis).
I wrote these words in Nov. 2020: “It will be a year for the history books! We had Nancy Pelosi’s fake impeachment, following the now infamous fake Mueller-Russia investigation. Immediately thereafter, came the pandemic, protests, riots, cities burning, policemen forced to stand down, political upheaval, 30 named storms, and then a contested election due to fraud. A spirit of fear and troubling uncertainty was released as a dark cloud of oppression over our nation. Some struggle with isolation, others with health, loss of work, and many families are at the brink with stress and fear.”
But “we the church” have these great promises that no matter what we go through our God will deliver us into a better place. The favor will be forever seen upon all your true seed, every heir of this promise!
“There are far better days ahead than any we leave behind” (C. S. Lewis). (end of quote from Nov. 2020 sermon/Sissom).
We have faced 3 years and 11 months with two fierce wars, court cases against President Trump, massive immigration, inflation, gender mutilation of children, etc. We have been as a nation in judgment as the wickedness within our federal government has been exposed.
2 Sa, 22:7: ( K.J.V.) In my distress I called upon the L
Christians all around the world have been praying for our election. Their prosperity both financial and spiritual flow from the extraordinary blessings which the LORD GOD has bestowed upon the United States.
The church of the United States of America has stayed on the wall. We know from whom our help comes. A prophetic resistance movement was birthed as God’s people decreed His written words into the wickedness of the government rulers.
Psa. 18: 9-15: T.P.T.: I cried out to you in my distress, the delivering God, and from your temple-throne you heard my troubled cry. My sobs came right into your heart and you turned your face to rescue me…You stretched heaven’s curtain open and came to my defense. Swiftly you rode to earth as the stormy sky was lowered. You rode a chariot of thunderclouds amidst thick darkness, a cherub, your steed, as you swooped down soaring on the wings of spirit-wind. Wrapped and hidden in the thick-cloud darkness, your thunder-tabernacle surrounded you. You hid yourself in mystery-darkness; the dense rain clouds were your garments. Suddenly the brilliance of your presence broke through with lightning bolts and with a mighty storm from heaven---like a tempest dropping coals of fire. The Lord thundered, the great God above every god spoke with his thunder-voice from the skies. What fearsome hailstones and flashes of fire were before him! He released his lightning-arrows and routed my foes. See how they ran and scattered in fear! Then with your mighty roar, you laid bare the foundations of the earth, uncovering the secret source of the sea. The hidden depths of land and sea were exposed by the hurricane-blast of your hot-breath.
The LORD GOD has given the United States a deliverer. The Lord will give us the victory. We must continue to pray for a greater battle is ahead for President Trump, his administration and Congress. Satan in the spirit of antichrist will not give up his strong-hold over the wealth and power of the government of the United States. It will be the prayers of the saints who will give the victory and keep Trump out of the traps of power.
Psalm 126: 1-3: When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” The LORD has done great things for us and we are glad.
18: 31-45: For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer and sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up. Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, so my feet did not slip. I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them.
We have been set in the heavenlies by Christ Jesus. The church has been commissioned to war alongside the armies of heaven. We are to flow from the throne of God in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. God’s way is perfect. Our hands can war in praise breaking through the stubbornest resistance.
We have been in a fierce battle the past seven years. The LORD OUR GOD has given us the victory.
I am expecting a great outpouring of the Spirit of the LORD through this visitation of victory. Through this wave of Glory, I am expecting greater prosperity, miracles, souls to be saved, healings and deliverance to be ushered into the earth--- as the LORD has heard our prayers.
Today we celebrate the Lord our God who has heard our cry and we give him all the glory. May His hand stay strong on President Donald J. Trump and his family.
