Faith 1 - The Only Fight
Work hard at believing in God more and more. WE
1 Timothy 6:12 (AMP)
Fight the good fight of the faith [in the conflict with evil];
12 We have to fight to keep our faith. ERV
Work hard at believing in God more and more. WE
This is God’s call to fight, but in a specific way.
All Satanic warfare is to destroy your faith. One way to do so is that you never get in the fight of faith. He keeps you busy fighting all other kinds of fights. Some are trying to fight people, others are in unecesary warfare against the devil, playing wargames that just drain them with no results.
If you’re in any other kind of fight, you’re in the wrong fight! There’s no need to fight the devil—he is defeated. There’s no need fighting sin—Jesus is the cure for sin.
Most false doctrines arise when you try to bypass faith. Those who did not want to bear the responsibility of faith for healing started teaching God does not heal.
One person asked me why they cannot quit smoking. I gave many answers, but the Lord gave me the answer….it is because of their unbelief.
We must focus only on one thing, work hard at believing more and more.
Everything around us in decay. It is designed to minister fear and death to us. It is only the word of God that is designed to minister faith to us. Where you spend more time, in the world or in the Word, will decide your victory or defeat in the fight of faith.
Everyday you must resolve to grow in faith. The reason why one person is still trying to quit smoking 10 years later is that they they have not grown in faith, only knowledge.
We must sit with the word until it builds in us the substance of what we are hoping for.
We must daily feed our faith many times just like we eat food.
Your faith will grow as your understanding of God’s Word grows (Rom. 10:17). If your faith is not growing, it’s because your knowledge of God’s Word is not growing. And you cannot grow or develop spiritually if you are not growing in faith.
Determine today that your feeding times of God’s word will grow. Make feeding your faith a priority. You will then grow in faith. The substance of things hoped for, the asurance of God’s promises can only be built this way.
We spend alot of time doing all things but building our faith. Its a fight, and we must fight the fight to stay in faith. One primary way is to read those scriptures that promise us what we need regularly.
Stop fighting wrong fights and get into the good fight of faith. It is the only good fight. All other fights are bad.
Faith is the only God ordained battle you must be in. It is the only righteous fight.
It’s called a “good fight” because:
- It’s the right fight (not against people)
- It’s fought the right way (through faith, not flesh)
- It leads to the right outcome (eternal life and growth)
DON NOT GET DISTRACTED BY BATTLES THAT DO NOT MATTER. Fight only the good fight of faith. The fight to stay in faith. The fight to believe God more and more.
