Day 26 – Prayer Focus – “The Lord of Hosts is a Warrior”

 
The term Lord of Hosts is cited 282 times in the Word of God. It is a military term meaning “God of Battles.”

Isaiah 31:5 – “Like birds flying about, So will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will also deliver it; Passing over, He will preserve it.”

Our prayer focus today is on the Warrior nature of our God; the Lord of Hosts. God is a fighter and we are in His army. We are following a commander in chief who has never lost a battle. God desires for us to understand His warrior nature because it is on the inside of us. He wants us to stand up for Him as warriors who will face the enemy so that the lost may be saved.

We pray that we will understand His character as the Lord of Hosts. The Lord of Battles will tell us exactly how to stand against the strategies of the enemy today. He will counsel us on how to fight and how to win our victories. Our God has never lost a battle! He is the wonderful counselor and He leads us and guides us into victory!

Isaiah 28:29 – “This also comes from the Lord of hosts, Who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance.”
