A Prescription For How To Fight An Unexpected Battle | Sermon Only | Reverend Dr. Thomasina Jones

About this sermon

In this powerful and deeply personal message, *Reverend Dr. Thomasina Jones* reminds us that life will throw battles our way—unexpected, painful, even devastating ones. From betrayal to health crises, from personal loss to the sudden collapse of what we thought was stable—these are the moments that test our faith to the core. Drawing insight from *1 Samuel 30*, where David faces the loss of his family and the betrayal of his own army, Rev. Dr. Jones teaches us that even when it seems like the fight is too big and the hurt too deep, **God is still our power source**. Through David’s example, we learn the prescription for unexpected battles: 1. **Rely on God as your power source** 2. **Engage in steadfast prayer** 3. **Lean on the witnesses and the Word** Dr. Jones also shares personal testimonies of battles in her own life that required unwavering prayer, deep faith, and the support of others. She challenges us to remember past victories, keep a record of them, and become a witness for someone else climbing their own mountain.
