Are there people in your life who will help you do things you've been called to do?

Here's Nancy Lee DeMoss.

You know, in the family of God, in the body of Christ, we should not have to be running this race alone, waging this war alone, raising kids alone, loving husbands alone, in the workplace alone. That's where the body needs to be a body.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Monday, August 11th, 2014.

For a couple of weeks, Nancy's been exploring the early life of Joshua.

It's been such a helpful study on God's power to fight for us in any situation.

We'll hear from Nancy Lee DeMoss in just a minute, but first, a group of women have been listening to the series with us, and we'll hear how they've been applying the story of Joshua.

Our first guest is Stacey Smith. She works with women in prison, encouraging them to pray for those outside.

In the teaching on Joshua, she was struck by Joshua's mentor, Moses, and how he interceded for others.

I think about the ladies in prison, and first of all, their spirit of intercession

and how prayer is just probably the most important aspect of our life.

My desire is that God's people would be victorious

and that they would learn his ways in that. And I think I saw that clearly and how when you explained

how Moses wanted that, you know, but I think also in the Lord is my banner, how when you took

us through the banner of going from the beginning,

I always saw the banner being the parade at the end, but I didn't realize that the banner is

with you throughout the whole battle, and then at the end that the cross is actually our banner.

So that was very clear to me today, and I just appreciate that.

The thing that stood out to me

the most I think was the recognition that we all need others to come alongside us, both physically

and spiritually, lifting us up in prayer. And we can't do this battle alone. We do need others to lift us up and encourage us.

And some of us are leaders and some of us are followers, but we're all part of the ministry.
