1-03-08 Only The Lord's Right Arm Can Save You! Psalms 44:3

Psalms 44:3 (NAS)
For by their own sword they did not possess the land; And their own arm did not save them; But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy presence, For Thou didst favor them.

Psalms 44:3 (NLT)
They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strength that gave them victory. It was by your mighty power that they succeeded; it was because you favored them and smiled on them.





Adonai has given you an inheritance, for you are an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus Christ, the Lord. However, there is nothing that you alone can do to possess your land. Even if you wield the best sword or knife, you cannot lay waste to your enemies. Your own arm cannot save or deliver you. You do not have victory through your own strength.

You know that only the Lord's right arm can save you; only His strength can give you the victory that you seek. He is the One who seizes and dispossesses your enemies. He has the power to attack, smite, and slay your opponents. He is the only One who can ruin and make them desolate. He simply dries them up and then blows them away.

Then He scatters and sows His seed on your land. He shines His light upon it, as well, and it begins to produce. The dreams and desires, with which you have been pregnant, begin to yield. Jehovah illuminates His word for you and, as you see the light, you begin to prosper. For the Lord God has turned His face in your direction. He has cleared the way for you to come into His presence. He has accepted and is pleased with you. His wrath and judgment have been satisfied through Yeshua's sacrifice And now it is His desire to show you His favor.
