Faith
It's a faith fight. In whatever area you may be experiencing pain, doubt, fear, and uncertainty; it's not the situation that we need to pay attention to. It is our RESPONSE to the situation. Our response to the situation dictates our level of faith.
Consider this, when we have a pile of bills, and we don't know how were going to make our car payments, where the food is coming from, or how our unemployment check is going to stretch we are exercising doubt. But when we say, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, we are exercising our FAITH.
In whatever situation, it is a faith fight. Consider what faith is, "Faith is the substance of things HOPED for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen." When we depend on our faith, we know we don't have it yet, because we can't see it yet. That's when we are truly beginning to exercise our faith.
When we say, Lord I don't know how (he) or (she) feels about me, because they haven't said anything. Where is your faith? Know that God hasn't brought you this far to leave you, and what he's done for others He WILL do the same for you. Our faith tells us, God knows what we have need of before we ask.
It's not that God needs to deliver you from doubt as much as He needs to strengthen your faith. Again, it's a faith fight. In those dark times, when you can't see your way, when no answer appears to be present, it is a battle with your faith.
In those times, we are to Praise the Name of God, for we know that, "He, who has begun a good work in us, will continue it until the day of Jesus Christ." It is a faith fight. The battle begins in your mind.
No matter the circumstance,” Jesus, I'm alone", the bible says that he will never leave you or forsake you. No matter what the trial, "Jesus, I've been diagnosed with cancer." The Bible says, "He was wounded for our transgression and bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of His peace is upon us and by HIS stripes we are Healed!"
No matter what we think of, "Jesus, I'm afraid, I don't know what to do." For the Bible declares, that "God did not give us the spirit of Fear, but of Power and Love and a Sound Mind."
"Jesus, I want it now, please reveal it to me now." Well, the Bible says, " Those of them that wait on the Lord, He will renew our strength and we will mount up with wings like eagles, we will run and not be weary, we will walk and not faint."
"Jesus, I don't know what to do, I don't know where to turn." For the Bible says, "If my people, who are called by my name should humble themselves, and PRAY, seek MY face, and turn from the wicked ways, then I will forgive their sins and heal their land."
And Finally, "Jesus, I've gone through so much pain and so much sorrow, I just can't take this anymore." The Bible declares, " For light is our affliction, and it is but for a moment which worketh a far more exceeding weight of glory, while we look not at the things which are seen, for the things which ARE seen are temporal and the things which are NOT seen are eternal.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. My brothers and sisters in the body of Christ, this is a faith fight, and we must put on the full armor of God, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, (not against our mothers, our fathers, our husbands, our wives, nor our children) but against principalities and wickedness in high places.
May the body of Christ be blessed. Let us all present our bodies, holy, and acceptable unto God which is our reasonable service. To God be the Glory, I thank
