Victory belongs to the Lord, but preparation belongs to His people. Today we dive into Deuteronomy 7:1–5 to uncover the keys to preparing for the victories God has promised. As Israel stood on the edge of the Promised Land, they were reminded that their success would not come from their own strength, but from God's power and faithfulness. Yet, they also had a role to play—removing idols, guarding their hearts, and staying faithful to God's commands.  
Join us as we explore the parallels between Israel’s journey and our own spiritual battles today. How can we trust God for victory while ensuring our hearts remain steadfast? How do we remove the spiritual obstacles that hinder our walk with Christ? Drawing from both Old and New Testament passages, we’ll examine the importance of faith, separation from sin, and a heart fully devoted to the Lord.  
Tune in and be encouraged: the same God who gave Israel victory is still fighting for His people today!
