00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
Facing an intense situation, here's what the Bible tells us to do.

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:10.000
In 2 Samuel 23 11, there's a story about a man named Shammah who found himself in a really intense situation.

3
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.000
He was in a battle for a field, and it said that everyone else had run,

4
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.000
but he decided he would station himself in the middle of that field and defend it.

5
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.000
And the Bible records that a great victory was won that day.

6
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.000
You know, as Christians, we already come from a place of victory.

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.000
Jesus has already won the victory for us.

8
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.000
So oftentimes when we're in intense situations, it's because the enemy is trying to come and just dislodge us from our field,

9
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.000
dislodge us from our victory.

10
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.000
And the Bible tells us in Ephesians 6 10-14 that we've got to put on the armor and we've got to stand.

11
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.000
We've got to actively resist the enemy by standing on the Word of God and speaking it out.

12
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.000
So if you find yourself in an intense situation today,

13
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:55.000
trust in the Lord, and He will bring about a great victory in your life, just like Shammah.
