God is able to protect you and guide you through the toughest of situations! His strong arm holds us up and keeps the enemy in check. He will block every plan the enemy (Satan) has for you and help you to live the victorious life He has designed for you. Follow His word and and CELEBRATE because you know that God is on your side and nothing can stand against Him. When you are in the hands of God nothing and no one can snatch you out, you are a child of the Most High God, King of Kings. Make sure that you have a praise on your lips on your way to your promise. Your praise (celebration) proceeds your victory. Even if you don’t feel like it, you must praise. You are closer than you think, keep moving forward.
Examples of praising/celebrating God before the physical manifestation of victory:
Joshua 6:1-27
Joshua 6:16 NLT [16] The seventh time around, as the priests sounded the long blast on their horns, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the town!
2 Chronicles 20 King Jehoshaphat surrounded by enemies looking for a way to defeat them
2 Chronicles 20:18 NLT [18] Then King Jehoshaphat bowed low with his face to the ground. And all the people of Judah and Jerusalem did the same, worshiping the LORD.
Be encouraged and know that God is moving despite what is happening around you. Focus on the guidance He has given you and CELEBRATE FOR VICTORY IS IN YOUR HAND!!!
