Don’t quit in the battle
How many of you feel like you are in a battle for your stuff?
1 Peter 5:8-9 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
Whether it is your health, finances, education, career advancement, or finding greater meaning in life, you might feel like you are in the greatest battle ever. Welcome to the club, everyone has some kind of battle they are fighting. The good thing about the battle, is your ability to stand firm, even when your faith might be shaken. The greatest part about the battle, is that you are fighting and standing from a point of victory. Well you might say, what if I am loosing this battle, everything that’s happening indicates that I am loosing this battle? My advice to you is, as long as you haven’t lost it, keep standing, keep believing, and keep the faith. You see, this is exactly what the enemy wants, as long as we loose faith and give up hope he knows we’re in trouble. Jesus has already conquered ALL. Besides, the battle is the Lord’s and we are recipients of victory.
Faith or Fear: How do you see yourself, gaining defeat or enjoying sweet victory?
There is a weakness that eventually comes when you are fighting in the flesh. This is the time for us to acknowledge the power in the name of Jesus. The fearful energy we usurp expecting defeat BECAUSE, BECAUSE, BECAUSE, use your faith energy to believe that victory will manifest, because it is already a done deal. This is what PRAYER is all about, envisioning victory and targeting our faith filled prayers to bring the desired victory into manifestation.
Some how we have not completely tapped into the full benefits and life that’s in the name of Jesus. Let us approach him with full assurance that he is faithful to fight the battles and give us the victory on every front. So regardless, of the battle you are facing today, be fully dependent on the name of Jesus. No matter how fierce your battle becomes, keep your faith in Jesus high and keep expecting victory to show up in your life.
What are you expecting to happen? What is your prognosis? Are you expecting to die, then speak life, don’t give up the fight based on what is seen. What do you have faith in, the good or bad happening? Wherever we channel our faith that’s where it’s going to work. There are many victory stories out there, that we read and hear everyday. The characters never became victorious because they quit, but they kept fighting the good fight of faith. Why not let your victory story be one that others can praise God and be inspired?
This is a great article I discovered “Don’t give up Hope” by Kenneth Copeland. It is an awesome read.
