Despite the trials and persecutions faced by the church, the preacher encourages believers to take comfort in the fact that God is with them and has overcome their enemies.

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes that God sends His own forces, likened to 'hornets', to prepare the way for His people, ensuring their victory over adversaries without direct confrontation. He illustrates that God employs mysterious and unexpected means to fight for His people, often confounding their enemies before they even engage in battle. Spurgeon reassures believers that they need not fear, as God’s divine intervention can achieve what human efforts cannot. He encourages the faithful to obey God's commands and march forward in faith, trusting that the Lord has already paved the way for their success. Ultimately, the victory belongs to God, and His power will be evident in the triumphs of His people.
