Finding Victory in Spiritual Warfare: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 149 It is really easy to get overwhelmed when we are in the middle of spiritual warfare.  In Psalm 149, we see a model for prayer when we are facing something bigger than ourselves.  We can praise God because we know that He is the one who will bring the victory.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: How does the concept of praising God during spiritual warfare resonate with your personal experiences or challenges in life? Are there any current situations or struggles in your life where you feel overwhelmed? How can you apply the principles from Psalm 149 to approach them with renewed faith and confidence? Today’s Key Verse: For the Lord takes delight in His people;  He crowns the humble with victory. Psalm 149:4 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.
