The bible clearly states that "greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world" 1 John 4:4.

The enemy wants nothing more than to have us give up. But we are "more than conquerers" with God by our side.

God says for us to "be strong" and be willing to live this life in front of the world.

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Joshua 1:5-6

And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass. Joshua 21:43-45

The conditions of having these promises of "spiritual rest from the enemy, being spiritual conquerers, being courageous, and having our spiritual enemies delivered into our hand" is we must "love the Lord your God".

For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.  One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. Joshua 23:9-10

Question: Am I willing to honor God my whole life?

The condition is we have to "hearken to the voice of God".

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: Deuteronomy 28:1

Promises God has for us:

• Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand. 2 Chronicles 16:8
• The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. Psalm 34:7
• He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Psalm 91:4
• As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. Psalm 125:2
• For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Zachariah 2:5
• And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.  But there shall not an hair of your head perish. Luke 21:16-18
