Somebody put your hands together

My faith stands firm, I will not yield

Too often weak, too quick to fall
Forgetting You are Lord of all

Surmon Notes

Sermon: Strengthened in Faith

Text: Colossians 1:11–12; Ephesians 6:10–13; 2 Corinthians 12:9–10

Theme: Standing strong in God’s power through trials, anchored in faith and the supremacy of Christ.

Introduction

Beloved, we are living in a time where many hearts are weary, battles seem unending, and faith is being tested on every side. But the Word of God and the sound of heaven rising through songs like Strengthened in Faith remind us of a deeper truth: you were never called to stand in your own strength—but in His.

“El Shaddai, my rock, my stay! Mighty fortress, strength each day!” This anthem is a declaration for every believer who feels weak, stretched, or on the verge of giving up. God’s Word proclaims that we are strengthened with all power according to His glorious might (Colossians 1:11), and that power is available today.

Let’s look at three ways the Lord strengthens us in faith.

Point 1: God’s Strength Is Not Human Strength

“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength.” – Isaiah 40:29

We must first unlearn what the world calls strength. Human strength is about self-reliance, effort, and performance. But God’s strength is perfected in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). He doesn’t require your perfection—He invites your surrender.

In Strengthened in Faith, we hear the confession:

“Too often weak, too quick to fall, forgetting You are Lord of all.”

This is the turning point for many of us. We fall not because we are unworthy, but because we forget where our strength comes from.

When Paul prayed in Colossians 1:11, it wasn’t for power to escape trials, but for power to endure them—with patience and joy. The gospel doesn’t remove hardship—it transforms how we walk through it. Supernatural strength is not the absence of weakness; it is the presence of God in the midst of it.

Point 2: Faith Is a Posture of Standing

“Having done all… to stand.” – Ephesians 6:13

Faith is not passive agreement—it is active alignment. It says, “Though the storm rages, I will not be moved.” That’s why the refrain of the song is so powerful:

“Through every trial, through every storm, I’m still standing.”

Paul tells the church at Ephesus to put on the whole armor of God so they can stand against the schemes of the enemy. Standing is an act of war. It’s prophetic. It declares, “I belong to Yeshua, and I will not bow to fear.”

In a world that tries to shake our foundation, faith anchors us in truth, in righteousness, and in the victory of Christ. Not because we are strong—but because He is strong through us.

Point 3: Our Strength Is Anchored in Christ’s Supremacy

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him… stablished in the faith.” – Colossians 2:6–7

The entire Supreme in Christ album calls us to fix our eyes on Yeshua—the One who reigns over all powers and authorities. Your strength in faith is only as secure as the One it’s rooted in. When you know that Christ is supreme, you no longer fight for victory—you fight from victory.

The song cries out:

“Yeshua, victor, King of grace… Ruach HaKodesh, hold my place.”

We are not alone in the fight. The Holy Spirit holds our place when we feel like falling. Yeshua secures our footing. Heaven backs our obedience.

This is not just a moment of emotional worship. It is a declaration of spiritual reality. You are strong—not because you feel it—but because Christ is in you, and He does not fail.

Application

• Where are you fighting in your own strength? Lay it down at the feet of Jesus.

• Declare Colossians 1:11–12 over your life daily. Let it shape your mindset and worship.

• Let your worship be bold. Let it be a weapon in the face of every lie that tells you you’re too weak, too far gone, or too broken.

• Invite the Holy Spirit to hold your place—to fill the gaps where you feel like you can’t stand anymore.

Conclusion & Call to Response

Beloved, this is not the time to retreat. This is the time to rise. Rise in faith. Rise in worship. Rise in the strength of El Shaddai.

Let the anthem of your life be:

“I am strong. By His power, I will stand. No more fear. Jesus reigns, my hope is sure!”

You were made for this battle—not because you are fearless, but because you are filled… filled with power from on high.

Prayer

El Shaddai, we lift our eyes to You—our rock, our strength, our fortress. When the storms come, let us not forget that You are Lord of all. Strengthen us today with all might according to Your glorious power. Fill every weary heart, restore every fainting soul, and renew our faith. Let us walk in the victory of Yeshua and stand firm in Your unshakable truth. In Jesus’ name—Amen.

Let the Church declare:

I’m still standing. I am strong. Not by might, nor by power, but by Your Spirit, Lord.

Podcast Script

Podcast Script: “Strengthened in Faith” — From the Album Supreme in Christ

🎙️ [Intro music fades in—gentle keys with a subtle gospel rhythm]

Host:

Hey friends—welcome back to Worship in the Word, where we lean into the heartbeat of heaven and let the sound of worship draw us deeper into the presence of God. I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re walking, driving, or curled up with your Bible and coffee, I believe the Holy Spirit has something to speak into your spirit today.

Today’s episode is inspired by the song “Strengthened in Faith” from the album Supreme in Christ: A Journey Through Colossians. And let me tell you… this song is not just a catchy gospel anthem. It’s a declaration. It’s a spiritual battle cry for those of us who have faced storms, who’ve been knocked down, who’ve felt the fatigue of faith—but are still standing.

So if you’re tired, worn out, or needing to be reminded where your strength comes from—this is for you.

🎙️ The Heartbeat of the Song

The song opens with this bold line: “I’m strong! Through every trial, through every storm, I’m still standing.” And isn’t that the testimony of the believer?

Not that we never face storms, but that by the grace of God—we survive them. We endure them. And we come out stronger, rooted deeper in the One who never fails.

This song is anchored in Colossians 1:11–12, where Paul prays that we would be “strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy.” That’s not motivational hype. That’s kingdom strength. That’s supernatural power when your natural strength has run out.

And let’s be honest—we all hit that point. That place where our own grit, our own efforts, our own resources just… aren’t enough.

🎙️ Faith in the Fire

One of the lines that wrecks me every time I hear it is:

“Too often weak, too quick to fall, forgetting You are Lord of all.”

That hits deep, doesn’t it?

It’s not just about being tired—it’s about remembering who holds the universe. And who holds us.

Sometimes the greatest battle isn’t the trial—it’s the temptation to forget that El Shaddai, the All-Sufficient One, is still on the throne. That’s what Isaiah 40 reminds us of:

“Even the youths shall faint and be weary… but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…” (Isaiah 40:30–31)

This isn’t just poetic language—it’s a promise. When we stop striving and start leaning, heaven releases fresh strength. Faith isn’t pretending you’re fine. Faith is saying, “God, I’m weak—but You are not.”

🎙️ Standing Is Victory

Ephesians 6:10 says:

“Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might…”

The whole armor of God passage is framed around one thing—standing.

And Strengthened in Faith picks this up prophetically. It doesn’t say we won because we dodged every storm. It says we’re still standing because we trusted God through it.

That’s the kind of faith this generation needs. Not faith that’s loud when it’s easy, but faith that whispers through tears, “I still believe.”

Not strength that looks like confidence, but strength that looks like surrender.

Not victory that comes from control, but victory that comes from yielding to the One who already overcame.

🎙️ A Moment of Reflection

So let me ask you—

What battle are you facing today?

Where have you been trying to fight in your own strength?

Maybe it’s a health diagnosis.

Maybe it’s family tension.

Maybe you’re just soul-weary. Quietly burned out. Silently asking, “God, are You still holding me?”

Friend, He is.

And not only that—He’s strengthening you right now. As you listen, as you open your heart again, the Spirit of God is ministering to those deep places.

“Yeshua, make my faith robust…” That line from the song—let it be your prayer today.

🎙️ Let’s Pray Together

Ruach HaKodesh, Breath of God—we welcome You.

El Shaddai, our Rock and our Stay—thank You that we don’t have to stand in our own strength. Today, we lay down fear, anxiety, and striving… and we pick up Your peace.

Strengthen every weary heart listening. Infuse us with endurance, with joy, with unshakable faith. Remind us that we are not defined by what we feel, but by what You have declared.

We are strong.

We are victorious.

We are upheld by Your mighty hand.

We worship You, our fortress and our King. In Yeshua’s name—Amen.

🎙️ Final Encouragement

Hey—before we close, I just want to say this:

You may be weary…

But you are not defeated.

You may feel weak…

But God’s strength is being made perfect in you.

You may be in a battle…

But you are still standing.

So hold your ground, beloved. Worship through the storm. Declare over your life:

“I am strong. By His power, I will stand. No more fear—Jesus reigns. My hope is sure.”

If this episode blessed you, consider sharing it with someone who needs a reminder that they’re not alone. And go listen to Strengthened in Faith again—this time, not just as a song, but as your anthem.

Until next time—keep worshipping, keep praying, and keep standing strong.
