SEO-Optimized English Translation of the Text:

The enemy may be pursuing me, but God does not instruct me to defeat the enemy. Let me repeat that until it resonates with someone: “In that day,” says God, “I will punish with my sword, my fierce, great, and powerful sword.” Notice what the Lord did not say: He didn’t say, “In that day, I want you to fight harder, do more, and try a little harder.”

God sees the struggles you’re facing. He knows what is weighing on your spirit. He hears your cries of despair. He sees the anxiety in your trembling hands and the deep trauma you’ve buried. While humans focus on outward appearances, God looks at the heart. He sees beyond your struggles and knows the root cause.

God sees past your weaknesses and strengthens you. “What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” I came to declare: “This is His fight.” High-five three people and say, “It’s His fight!”

Okay, let me break it down further. God is not like the person in the story I shared, and the Devil is not like the opponent in the tale. God is not at the mercy of anyone or anything in doing what you ask Him to do in your life. His sword is fierce, great, and powerful. Let me say it again: His sword is fierce. His sword is great. His sword is powerful.

So, what does that mean for me? It means I don’t have to focus on what I’m fighting with. I can focus on the One who is fighting with me, any time I choose. There is a fight and there is a sword, but the sword is in God’s hand, not mine.

This is why all our efforts to fight in our own strength fail. You can’t overpower it. It’s like trying to fight a battle without the right tools. This is where we misunderstand our role in this relationship with God. He says, “The fight is mine,” and the sword is His. But wait, there’s more.

In verse 2: “In that day—’Sing about a fruitful vineyard.'” The sword belongs to God, but the song is ours. Our worship of Jesus Christ is a powerful weapon against everything that entangles our lives. Worship, for me, is more than just the first 20 minutes of church service—it’s a way of living.

When I praise His name, something miraculous happens. My problems seem smaller, and my strength grows. My question to you is: Are you focusing more on your fight or your fruit? Focus more on the fruit God is growing in your life, and less on how the enemy is grabbing at you.

The enemy is trying to steal your peace, your family, your right mind, your destiny, your growth, your discipleship, your prayer life, and your worship. But while the enemy is trying to grab, God is making you grow.

Let’s simplify this: There’s a fight, and there’s fruit. Which one are you focused on more? The one you focus on more will hold more power in your life.

Sometimes, God will have you sing over the fruit that isn’t visible yet. Just like He asked the people to sing about a vineyard that wasn’t even there, sometimes you’ll need to sing over a seed of potential. Even in chaos, God is at work. The nation of Israel faced captivity, yet in the midst of that chaos came the beauty of creation.

I see this happening in your life as I speak. From the chaos of mistakes, disappointments, or setbacks, God can bring forth new creation. The Lord is calling you to start singing, even when things seem uncertain, because something is being birthed out of the chaos you’ve been facing.
