VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. Don't fight the battle.
"But you will not even need to fight."
Compare these verses:
A battle where the LORD owns and the LORD fights because GOD is King of kings. - A WINNING BATTLE (1 Samuel 17:47)
1 Samuel 17:47 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)

1 Samuel 8:20 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
“We want to be like the nations around us. Our king will judge us and lead us into battle.”
We are the Spiritual Goliaths of the New Covenants
We have the full armor of GOD.
Ephesians 6:10-18 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.
For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.
In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.
Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
Exodus 14:13 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
Ephesians 6:14 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:15 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter.
James 5:8 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.
The world runs in fear away from GOD, but we stand firm to see GOD's salvation in our lives and in the lives of others surrounding us. Stand firm, see His deliverances.
Psalms 34:17-19 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.

The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.

"Do not be afraid or discouraged."
Fear has something to paralyze you with. Only need to fear is fear itself. But we fear GOD and no one else.

Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Isaiah 43:2 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.
Zechariah 2:10 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
The Lord says, “Shout and rejoice, O beautiful Jerusalem, for I am coming to live among you.
If you fight, you are guaranteed to lose. How will you fight a battle you know it's not yours? It's GOD's, let Him fight, and let us watch Him be victorious. GOD with us, we are born to win with GOD in CHRIST and in the Power of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Romans 8:37 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
1 John 4:4 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.
GOD is nearer than you think. GOD is fighting His battles in us, thru CHRIST JESUS inside of us. Thinking this should bring us nearer GOD than before.

GOD is winning in us thru CHRIST our LORD.
