We are still in a world where things have not been made perfect, expect for our spirit being born again and made perfect we are still in our earthly suits and are contending at times to walk this walk of faith. Thank God that he has equipped us with Holy Spirit, and he leads us and guides us into all truth. There might be some detours along the way, as we are learning at first and getting the word into us, but a good solider will always know his opponent, and know where to attack! The Bible is our manual to get instructions on how to know what to do and live here now in Victory!
In the book of James 1:2 - We are to consider it pure joy when faced with trials of many kinds,because the testing of our faith develops perseverance! "Why" is it developing perseverance? So once that's finished you become mature and complete , not lacking anything! It also say's we can ask for |"wisdom" from above, but when you ask don't doubt! God want's us to ask him and he will give it generously to us! God gives us keys to walk this walk of faith and fight the good fight of faith! God's purpose is not just to cause us to survive, but to educate us and equip us for spiritual battle! He want's us to know that we are victorious, and have authority as a born again child of God! It says to fight for the true faith, is there a false faith? Yes I believe there can be if you don't know what is in that book called the bible, you can have what appears to be truth in some areas, and not be ready to fight the faith in "TRUTH"
Jesus faced his wilderness experience with fighting the good fight of faith! In the book Matthew 4 it says that Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, and he was tested there. He was prepared for the good fight of faith with speaking the word, knowing what to say, and how to handle everything that the devil tried to take advantage of. It says he had fasted 40 days and nights, and he was hungry the word says. He did not let that distract him from the Victory and his purpose!
When you know your opponent you will know how to focus, what to do, what to say, you will see the spoils of the war, not focusing on the war itself ! The battle is the Lord's! Jesus has already defeated the devil and his lies! When faced with trails, know that its simply meeting opposition on the road to a miracle! Things we are contending with always produce the birth of a miracle when we trust God and fight the good fight of faith with the word!
The only reason men fail is they loose focus in a battle! If you read about Jesus in Matthew, he came out of the dessert and that test, and he started preaching about the "Kingdom of Heaven is near" he stayed focus on his purpose for coming to the earth. He didn't allow his opponent to take him out! He started healing and preaching and called his first Disciples after that test, by fighting the good fight of faith with the word !
Losers focus on war itself, but Champions will always focus on the Spoils of War!
If we say what Jesus would say, and do what Jesus would do, we will start to be more aware of being spirit led like he was in the bible! He was our example to live this life while on this earth. We can shorten our struggle in this good fight of faith when we use the "keys" he has given us! God's word is an indispensable weapon (key) in the same way prayer is essential (key) in our fight of faith. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than just words. We have to learn how to apply them throughout our life, so taking all that the word says we are, and what is our's NOW! We fight this good fight of faith knowing Jesus already has paid the price and the victory is ours, we just have to "believe" and walk with His amazing grace to do it! He never leaves us or forsakes us!
We cant let things or circumstance take us away from this good fight of faith, Jesus stayed focus on his purpose, so what we are willing to walk away from determines what God will bring to you !
The taste of Victory lasts far longer than the memory of your struggle ! Always remember He love's you and died for you to have Victory now!!
