Do you consider yourself a Warrior? If so, the world needs more people like you, so stand up and be counted. A warrior is someone who knows what they want and go after it. They stand for what is true to them and will not take down to anything. They have great beliefs, ideals              and have an unwavering faith.

A warrior personifies a person of great strength and fortitude. When things get tough, the tough get going. When life gives them lemons, they make lemonade. They are not the ones to even contemplate throwing in the towel, retreating or looking back. They put their hands to the plow and keep on pushing. They are “steadfast, immovable always abounding in the work of the Lord. They know that their labor is not in vain.”

I recently heard of the story of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky statement when someone offered him a ride to leave Ukraine prior to the battle that they are facing. His response was “I don’t need a ride; I need some ammunition.” He is a true warrior for all tense and purposes. He is willing to fight for what he believes in.

We must continue to have a warrior’s attitude and a spirit of victory. When you know what you know, no one can change your mind. You have to keep pressing forward, no matter the obstacles, challenges, problems, delays or hinderances. Be encouraged my friend and keep your eyes on the prize. Victory is yours to obtain. We don't need literal ammunition to gain victory, but we do it through declaring and decreeing the Word of God and warring in the Spirit. 

I love the song that was written several years ago, “Victory is mine, victory is mine, victory today is mine. I told Satan, get thee behind, victory today is mine.” Another song that I cherish is 'See A Victory,' written by Elevation Worship, It says, The weapon may be formed, but it won't prosper. When the darkness falls, it won't prevail. 'Cause the God I serve knows only how to triumph, My God will never fail. I'm going to see a victory, I'm going to see a victory, for the battle belong to You, Lord. We claim victory because we are Warriors.
