Isaiah 27 Explained For Real Life Spiritual Warfare

Chaos is loud right now, and fear is trying to set the agenda. We come back for season three with a prayerful reset and a hard look at spiritual warfare, then we open Isaiah 27 to remind ourselves that God’s power is not up for debate. When Scripture talks about Leviathan and the crushing of evil, we take it out of “Bible story” mode and connect it to real life, real pressure, and real decisions we face every day. 

We walk through the chapter’s big themes: God defeating forces of chaos, God guarding His vineyard, and God balancing judgment with restoration so His people can heal and grow. We also talk about what it means to be “in the world but not of the world” when headlines are scary, money feels tight, and compassion seems rare. The point isn’t denial, it’s direction: don’t feed panic, don’t idolize people, and don’t confuse religious performance with a relationship with God. 

Then we get practical and personal, from the difference between what’s God-ordained and what’s God-allowed to why discernment matters in relationships, church life, and daily choices. We challenge prosperity myths, call for honest prayer, and push ourselves to live with humility, love, and real accountability. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review with the line that hit you the hardest.

Opening Prayer And Spiritual Warfare

SPEAKER_00 1:11

Before we get started, y'all know we got to give God all the glory, all the honor, all the praise. It all belongs to Him. So let's bow our head. Not if you're driving. Dear Heavenly, most gracious Father, we come to you tonight, Lord, saying thank you for another day's journey. Lord, we thank you for another season of the Wounded Warrior Podcast. Thank you, Lord, for using me as your vessel for kingdom building, helping every woman, man, boy, and girl that want to come back to you, Lord, draw closer back to you. Understanding that in the pardon of their sins, you still love us, you still kept us, you still honor us with your grace and your mercy. It's sufficient, Lord. We thank you, we glorify, we praise you, Lord. In spite of what's going on around us, Lord, you got us. Every day is something new under the sun to us, but not to you, Lord. So we just turn everything over to you, no matter what we're going through. Meet us at our needs, Lord, especially all 17,000 of the spirit employees, Lord. We know we in spiritual warfare down here. This is all spiritual attacks, and it's not even just to the spirit employees, it's everybody being affected, Lord, in one way or another. Even in my career, the enemy is working. But one thing he must understand, he don't have all power like you, God. No matter what he thinks and what he thinks he's gonna do, you still get the victory, you still get the glory. Just meet us at our needs. Don't let this enemy interfere, and everybody thinking what they want to just throw in the towel. Let them know if it's like I did at one time, Lord. If they just hold on to the hem of your garment, just barely hanging in there, you got us, and you go lead us on through this battle, this spiritual warfare, for you say, cast all our cares, not some, but all our cares unto you, and leave it there at the altar at your feet, and let this word that you send through me tonight minister to somebody, Lord. I give you all the glory, all the honor. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Isaiah 27 Reading

SPEAKER_00 3:48

Isaiah 27, deliverance of Israel. In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword, his fierce, great and powerful sword, Levidian, the gliding serpent, Levidian, the crawling serpent, he will slay the monsters of the sea. In that day, sing about a fruitful vineyard. I, the Lord, watch over it, I water it continuously, I guard it day and night, so that no one may harm it. I'm not angry. If only there were brows and thorns confronting me, I would march against them in battle. I will set them in all on fire, or else let them come to me for refuge. Let them make peace with me. Yes, let them make peace with me. In days to come, Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit. Has the Lord struck her as he struck down those who struck her? Has she been killed as those were killed who killed her? By warfare and exile, you contend with her, with his fears. Blast he drives her out, as on a day the east winds blow. By this then will Jacob's guilt be atoned for, and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin. When he makes all the altar stones to be like limestone, crushed to pieces, nor shall repose or incense altars will be left standing, the fortified city standing still desolate and abandoned, settlement forsaken like the wilderness. There the calves graze, there they lie down, they strips its branches bare. When its twigs are dry, they are broken off, and women come and make fires with them. For this is a people without understanding, so their maker has no compassion on them, and their creator shows them no favor. And that day the Lord will thrash from floin euphrates to the waldies of Egypt, and you, Israel, will be gathered up one by one, and in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Ashura and those who was exiled in Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountains in Jerusalem.

Breaking Down Leviathan And The Vineyard

SPEAKER_00 6:19

Now, let me give you what God gave me from that word from the Bible, because y'all know I gotta break it down where you digest it. Isaiah 27 portrays God's ultimate victory over evil. As we know, so much evil going on around us, and as you see in Isaiah 27, God's victory will overcome this evil, no matter what we think, or what we may feel, what we may hear and see. We don't have to worry about it. God guides his care for his people and the restoration of Israel, using vivid, imaginary light, leviton and the vineyard to convey judgment, protection, and hope. God's victory over evil, Isaiah 27, opens with the Lord defeating Leviticans, the fleeing serpent, a symbol of chaos, evil, and opposition to God. Isaiah 27 and 1. This imagery draws on ancient Near Eastern mythology, where sea monsters represented destructive forces. But here it illustrates God's sovereign power over all adversaries, both spiritual and political. Both spiritual and political. Now, God ain't in the political game, but the attacks are spiritual, baby. It's called warfare. Spiritual warfare is on this nation right now, and God is speaking. Now it's on man, us to take heed because God is slow to anger, he not like us, he gives us opportunity to turn from our wicked ways and come back to him. This is why he tells us we're in the world, but we're not of the world. See what we must learn down here when Satan wanted to be bigger than the Almighty God, God threw him down. This is like right, yeah. I didn't know neither until I hear sat down and got to know God for myself. Because what people don't understand, the Bible is like a mystery now, but you gotta know God, and He's gonna open that fault of knowledge. I tell people all the time, I ain't this small baby. My wisdom ain't just coming to me just because it's all from the divine, the God the most high. And he knew once this stubborn chick sat down, amen. He knew he'd give me tell the truth. Because one thing about me, I always tell my friend, you don't want to know the truth, don't ask me nothing. Because you know I'm gonna tell you, it's no different from me. I want somebody to tell me the truth, don't sugarcoat it to make me feel good, even in church. I don't want to go to the church that make me feel good. You tickle just to get my dollars. No, my soul, I'm giving you my dollars, and my soul is going to lake a fire. And here I'm thinking I'm going to heaven because I've been born again. That's not going in that water, don't mean born again, but that's not tonight's lesson. So we go, let's get back to the word here that God gave me. The chapter emphasizes that no matter how formidable the challenges, God will triumph over wickedness and restore order. So, baby, God will restore order no matter who the president is, no matter who the king or queen of any nation, God is the big boss. We just the little boss that think we the big boss. God's care for his people. The chapter portrays Israel as God's vineyard, which he nurtures and protects. Isaiah 27, 2 and 3. This metaphor highlights God's constant care, provisions, and guidance, assuring his people that they are under his watchful protection. The vineyard emeraldry also conveys the expectation of fruitfulness and spiritual growth, showing that God desires his people to flourish under his care. Notice he says, flourish under his care, not no one else's care, his care, judgment and restoration. Isaiah 27 balances judgment with hope. While God punishes Israel's enemies and disciplines his people for their sins, Isaiah 27, 4 and 9. The ultimate goal is healing, reconciliation, and restoration, baby. Isaiah 27 and 6. The chapter emphasizes that God's discipline is measured and purposeful, aimed at purifying his people and preparing them for a fruitful future. Fruitful mean multiple, multiply, fruitful, like you have a fruit basket. God wants us to be fruitful, wanted to multiply. The chapter concludes with a vision of God's gathering, his scattered people from Azra, Egypt, and other lands to worship him in Jerusalem. Isaiah 27, 12, and 13. This represents the restoration of Israel, the fulfillment of God's promises, and the inclusion of all who were once lost or exiled. How many of us was lost? I know I was. Ain't no shame to say it. The sounding of the trumpets symbolizes a momentous astrological event marking the final gathering and reconciliation of God's people. God's sovereignty and he controls all forces of chaos and evil. I don't care how much you think evil gets past God. God control.

God Allowed Chaos And Trust

SPEAKER_00 13:06

Nothing gets past God. That's why I always tell people, what's not God ordained, is God allowed. Just like going back to those of us that made the wrong choices of marrying who God never told us that was our partner. It's God allowed, not God ordained. Because if you notice, at least for me, as I healed, I understand now what's God ordained, bring peace. What's God allowed? You go experience that chaos, confusion, dysfunction. Because sometimes God gotta do just like we do with our kids, He gotta get out the way because you ain't gonna listen anyway. So just like our kids sometimes, we love them that even when they're grown, we're trying to be their savior. How can they learn if we keep catching them every time they fall? If we always picked our child up every time they fall when he was trying to learn how to walk, they wouldn't be walking today. We realize that that's how they learn how to walk through falling and get back up. They fall again, get back up. No different with us, where God had to take and allow us to fall and get back up, amen, Miss Evelyn. Amen. So at the end of the day, we just have to learn to trust God, stop trusting us ourselves. The biggest thing were we as people, and say we trust ourselves, we trust man, and when I'm talking about man, I'm not just talking about um physical man, we we are considered man because we part of man, so I'm talking about woman, man, boy, and girl. Why are we so dependent on man instead of our heavenly father? He's the one that got all control and all power in his hand. He's the one, but yet we look at people and idolize people as God, they're not God. No matter what they say, no matter what they do, they're not God and never will equal to God. Period, point blank.

Fear Compassion And Church Accountability

SPEAKER_00 15:34

This is why right now, our nation, it's it's around the world, I know, but I'm not speaking about other countries, I'm speaking of home where we reside. It's getting to the point where people can't even make it to work because gas costs, people can't even get a loaf of bread because of prices of bread. We have to stop having fear in man, we have to stop depending on man, and the biggest thing that I noticed now I I heard it all on social media. Trust me, I think it's horrible that uh outbreak that happened on the boat. But for people to say, oh, leave them in the middle of the ocean, oh they're gonna be alright. Nobody told them to go out there. Where's your heart? Where's your heart? These people didn't ask to be given this virus, and they really don't know what it is. No different from COVID. We nobody wanted COVID to take place, none, but we have to wake up as people. A lot of this stuff is being put in the air and is passing down from people to people. You go, you go live your life in fear. God didn't give us the spirit of fear. That's what the enemy wants, and that's what he's creating right now. All this is a stage, whether you want to believe it or not, and the enemy is just doing everything to put fear and causing all this chaos, division. Where's the unity? Where's the love? And I'm gonna call out the church, folks. Where are y'all praying and coming together and standing for the people? This is where the church, if you say you're for God and you love God, stand up for God, stop allowing the enemy to take hold of God. This, no matter where the devil playground, this is still God's word. He will return one day, he will return, and a trumpet will sound, and it will be too late for many because people have this idea. Because I know I've been there. When you're baptized, you're born again, and now you're gonna make it to heaven. No, you're not. God had to tell me it's beyond that. Being born again don't take you to heaven. That's hogwash, being delivered, being healed, having a relationship with God. Because if you have a relationship with God, you're gonna draw people back to God, you're gonna be there for the people, you're gonna have compassion, you're not gonna no longer gossip on people, you're not gonna no longer judge people. If any of this, what I'm saying you do, you won't do it, and people don't want to hear the truth, but I'm sorry, it's gonna be told because it's time out for playing church, and it's time to be the church. Not once in Jesus' days of walking this green earth did he sit in the church, he went in the church and tore it up when it was disrespecting and mocking him. A repeat of what's going on today, because nobody, baby, nobody can be Jesus Christ. Period, nobody, point blank, period, not me, not you, not the man in White House, no one, period, and that's on everything. Because if we pay attention to when Jesus walked this earth, he set up an example from top to bottom. How we to go to seclusion and go to God, how we was to pray, how we was to trust, even when he told them, Oh, yeah, a little faith, because all the fear, and that's what we got now. People are just in fear mode. Everywhere you look, they're panicking. Well, how you say you got God? Because I'm gonna tell you this, and this ain't no secret. When it's your time to go, you go. No matter it's an airborne disease, a car accident, a plane accident, a boat accident, an illness, you go. Ain't no amount of money go save you when your time is called. Don't get it twisted and let them preach that shenanigans to you. Because God said it's a promise. You come in, you must go. It's a given. So he controls all forces of chaos and evil, faithfulness and mercy, despite Israel's unfaithfulness, God remains committed to his covenant. So despite what's taking place in the United States of America, God keeping his hand on us, he's still protecting us. God's ultimate plan is peace, prosperity, and spiritual faithfulness for his people. See, the chapter points to the final day of the Lord when God's kingdom is fully established. Isaiah 27. Therefore, is a chapter of judgment, protection, and hope, illustrating God's power over evil. And I hope y'all are getting what I'm saying tonight. God's power, his judgment, protection, and hope over evil, his nourishing care for his people, and the ultimate. Restoration and ingathering of Israel offering encouragement and assurance of God's faithful plan for his people. See, some people are just looking and thinking, well, you know, that happened in the old world, that happened this when Jesus walked this earth. Guess what? If God didn't want us to know about it, he wouldn't have had them put it in the Bible. And yes, I hear people say, Oh, that man, that Bible is written by man. I'm not paying it no attention. Well, wasn't your school curriculum written by man? But we still go to school, we still get them degrees. Make you think, Donnie. We gotta stop looking for an excuse of why we're not doing right by God. Just say you don't want to do right, not find an excuse to blame somebody. If we all take a stand, starting with the people of God, the church folks, this world will be a better place. Why I say the church, folks, because the church folks, you say you for God. Then we all need to be standing for God. Why you got all these denominations? Every church on every corner, nobody knows who. Do you think that's that's how it is in heaven? Absolutely not. We all go come together, whether you white, black, blue, red, green. There's no colors, there's no denomination. You got this denomination, don't want to deal with the Muslim, they don't want to deal with the mom. What come on now? That's not how I'm not God, my heavenly father operates. Point blank period. He doesn't operate like that. God is a God of love, He loved everybody, and He loved unconditionally that a gapey love, that love He had to instill in me and had it ensued through me. And when I tell you, that's when my life came to peace. Because you can't say you of God, but yet you don't love your fellow man because of what their beliefs is. What happened

Roots Elders And Real Love

SPEAKER_00 24:20

to praying? I know when I was coming up, the elders prayed. I sat with the elders all the time. That's why I have a strong relationship, even to this day, with elders. That's where wisdom comes from. Sit with your elders, sit with them. I guarantee I promise you, you will learn so much. Why they didn't lived, they done been here for a while, they done been around from season to season. They seen things when you was a baby and outlived that. That's why things that's going on now in certain communities, like my community, it don't faze them. They'd have been worse than that. I remember growing up, we didn't have groceries. Commodity was our food, and most people don't know what commodity is. That government cheese was my favorite milk. You had to powder eggs, powder milk, spam. We gotta get back to the roots. We gotta get back to God, and I'm talking about the real, true living God, Yahweh, the divine, the most high, the real God. Because I don't know what God is being served right now, but it's time out for all of this. What happened to the love? You got friends becoming frenemies, they ain't never was a friend. You got women want to be a side chick and think it's cute. That ain't cute. That's a Jezebel spirit on you, boo. Ain't nothing cute about you being with another man's wife and talking about you at peace. What peace you at? There's no peace. God gonna get you for that. That's wrong. And the men you think, oh, she's so fine, and my wife. Well, what was that woman when you was going through, my brother? Your wife was the one there, but you see some fine behind, and you running for it, but that's the enemy. See, people are losing sight of the enemy playing all kinds of tricks to destroy, devile, and kill homes. We gotta go back to the roots, beloved. We gotta go back to God. Prayer changes things. What happened to prayer? Your younger generations are not wanting to go to church because if they always gonna be bash on every little thing, instead of you praying for them and speaking them to them in love, and then seeing them clicks, you're not gonna keep the younger generation that they ain't for the click. Church becoming a click, and you got your pick who you want to be with. Nah, nah, you can stay home at church right at your kitchen table and bring God in the building. I'm telling you, seeing and witness because people want to be closer to God in this day and time. You being promised. Oh, all you gotta do is put this money in there and manifest. You don't want to know what God's talking about. There we're gonna leave that for another day because that's a whole word in itself. The people need the truth. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. Not no amount of money can save your soul. Not no amount of money go bless you to have even more. I'm just gonna tell you the truth. What God gave me. Let me let me even get deeper. I'm I'm getting hot, y'all. Excuse me, passionate about God's word in the truth. None of that matters if you don't have God, because God said in his word, he is your provider, and I told y'all once before, and God will give me that word to give a full word on me. Because some people think that they're going to hell, and it's not hell, it's the lake of fire. We in hell on earth because they're not putting 10% in the pot. That was in the old world, Leviticus. That we're gonna talk about that another day. God loves a cheerful giver. If you got just two dollars, give that two dollars. God gonna bless you for giving two dollars versus you didn't have two hundred dollars. See, we gotta learn to know God and get to know God for ourselves. Because if we don't get to know God, we're gonna fall

Money Myths And The Narrow Road

SPEAKER_00 30:04

for anything. And I'm telling y'all what I did, I ain't telling you about nobody else, I'm telling you about sister girl here. We gotta take a stand for God and stop falling for everything. It's time out for the shenanigans, the enemy is running ramply. He knows his time is winding down, he don't know how long. None of us know when our Lord is coming back, but he coming, amen. Amen. He coming back, and trust me, if you read the word, yes, ma'am, time up for the foolish thing. If you read the word, you'll also know God tells us in the word that the way to heaven is really now, so that tells you right there, it's not gonna be as many people that think they're going to heaven, going to heaven. Even when you hear the pastors at the funeral saying, Oh, such and such going to heaven, God and that person know you know what you're doing and what you're not doing. Because, see, some people, if we was a fly on the wall, we'll see everything. They they want in the public eye, they won't be perfect, but there's no perfect man boy or girl, even me, he'll I'm still not perfect, I still have short coming. We go always have shortcomings, but to say that people just gotta be baptized to make it to heaven, and most people are baptized because you get baptized, most of us as a child. So, you know how many people that would mean going to heaven, and if that's all it took, then heck, why do we need to get right with God? There would be no reason to think about it. God wants us to wake up, awaken that sleeping John. A lot of things was conditioned and programmed, and we can't even blame our parents. They just repeated what was told of them. Everything was a repeat cycle, broken homes, broken cycle. Men and women was doing what they were doing back then, still doing it now. That's why God said there's nothing new under the sun. None of this stuff just started today, it's been going on, it even went on in the first world, the dinosaur world, as I call it. You know, it wasn't nowhere near fast-paced as what it is now, but it still took place, no difference now, it's just more fast-paced, and we we see everything now because of technology, and don't talk about Lord AI suppose everything. So, all I'm trying to get y'all a seat, beloved, we gotta wake up and we gotta turn away from our wicked ways and turn back to God.

Discernment Humility And Helping Others

SPEAKER_00 33:14

Let go and let God if we learn to trust God with everything, including our life, our life will be better. I'm even talking about your relationships, it doesn't matter if it's personal, business, intimate, every relationship. God got to be in the midst. And if God is telling, follow your intuition, that's your soul speaking to you. The soul knows who is your soul tribe and who is not, and it doesn't take long. You'll be knowing somebody for 10 days and feel like you know them for 10 years because your soul recognizes genuine, that's right. That spirit of discernment is real, it knows genuine from faith, and know before you know, because you operating in the flesh, we all must see everything in the spiritual realm, in that spiritual eye, that's with the spirit. See, we remember, I say all the time we flesh, soul, and spirit. Spirit is where God connects with us, and your spirit is God, God will never leave you wrong, baby. Never lead you wrong. It's because we want to do it in that flesh. That's why he said, deny thyself and show yourself approved because we gotta let this go. We just spiritual beings having an earthly experience, but we're trying to do everything ourselves. The architect, he knows what's best, he created us, and he said in his word, I made you in my liking and image. So if he made us in his liking and image, so we don't have to wear a mask and be fake, just be you. That's who God called you to be, that's who he created you to be, but also know have a humble heart, grateful soul, be compassionate for your brothers and sisters and understand we all can be that brother, sister under the tent, under the bridges, ain't in just in Georgia and Louisiana, it's everywhere. So remain humble, never forget where you come from, and even if you come from a good life, just be humble and help somebody else out, pray for them. You don't know what people are going through. This is why we see so much. You're not gonna hear about all the suicide rates, the uh rates of suicide. It has risen. People don't feel like they can talk to nobody anymore, and they can. Everybody judge them everywhere you go, you go to church, they judge you. You you go to the therapist, they judge you. You go it's just like who can you you you talk to? Who can you trust? So pray for instead of talking, but pray for you see that brother, sister out there home, feed them because it could have been you, like that songwriter said. So I'm just grateful. I hope I know I got a little excited, I get passionate when it comes by God's job, but I hope my word helps somebody on tonight. I pray it do.

Closing Prayer And Next Week

SPEAKER_00 37:00

And as we close out, let's say a prayer, dear heavenly and most gracious father. I thank you, Lord, for this word that you sent through me on tonight. Lord, I ask that it bless one of my brothers and sisters, help them lead them along this journey, Lord, because it's getting harder and harder down here. For the enemy is running wild, Lord. You got all power in your hand. Meet everybody at their need, Lord. Strengthen us all where we're weak and build us all where we're told now because none of us are perfect, Lord, and let everybody know we're just traveling through. This is not our home, it's just a journey you got us on, but it's not our final destination, it's not until we come to meet you on the other side. Help those that are lost in a part under their sin. Repent of their sins and forgive themselves and come back to you because they may not know, but I know, Lord, you're gonna welcome them home like the prodigal son father did. You go forgive no matter what they done. No sin is greater than another. Bless us all, Lord. Under the sound of my weak voice, I give you all the praise, all the glory, all the honor. It all belongs to you, and the only name that has power in heaven and earth. Jesus' name we pray. Amen and amen. Until next week, beloved. Bye bye.

SPEAKER_01 38:46

Don't play with me, don't play with me. God on my side, you can't play on me, pray on me, devil try, but he can't take from me, take from me, I'm too covered. You can't take that me, take me, boy, don't play with, don't play with me, don't play with me, come here. Don't blow me, don't blow me, God bless me, devil, stay with me, stay with me, don't play with me, don't bless me, don't bless me, don't bless me.

SPEAKER_00 39:16

Hallelujah, I am free. The change of broken victory is mine.
