I read a newsletter written by Cliff Graham that is about him explaining why he wrote the Lion of War series. It gives the background on how he came up with the idea and shares a bit of the in-depth training to better understand the process of a warrior back in the days of King David. I have linked the newsletter below as well as the interview that I had with the author.

I look at a verse with the same numbers as the famous John 3:16. It is a scripture of hope and instruction for us during the right here and now of life. It is the scripture verse, Deuteronomy 31:6! Be Strong and Good Courage!
I look at a section of scripture in the Book of Numbers, chapter 14, verses two through four. It is easy to want to go back to what you know instead of going into what you don't fully understand. However, remember this: Put your hope in the Lord and lean not on your understanding.

I came across a scripture that is full of hope. It states that the Lord will walk among us, He will be our God, and we are to be His people. It is found in Leviticus 26:12. I also share an article I found that does a deeper dive into this very verse.
The article can be found at the following link: https://scripturesavvy.com/leviticus-26-12/

What an amazing promise The Lord gives His people: He will fight for you. I look at a section of scripture that showcases this very thought. It is found in Exodus 14:13 - 15.

I took part in a revival in Oklahoma. The name of the meeting was called 'Meet me in the water'. It is put on by Kayla Gabbard Ministries.

I look at the very first verse of the Word of God, and right away, an amazing truth is unpacked—He created it all, from the majestic to the Mundane. Look at Genesis 1:1 and see it again for the first time.
