In this episode, Pastor Wyatt McIntyre turns to Isaiah 54:17 and unpack a powerful promise: “No weapon formed against you shall succeed.” But this verse isn’t a lucky charm or a motivational quote—it’s a battlefield cry rooted in the cross and resurrection of Christ.

Whether you're weary, wounded, or wrestling, this message is for you. (Note: there are a few minor audio issues in this recording, but the Word remains clear.)
