First Wednesday of the New Year! So, I am a little unprepared for this blog, but I'm starting this year off optimistic :) Normally I write a brief summary & feed off that, but the summary I have today is in my head. Since my last blog, alot of fighting within myself has been going on. However, it was nothing that my FAITH couldn't take care of :)
Before I re-dedicated my life to Christ, I was always up for a good fight. Physical or mental, didn't matter. Win or Loose, I fed off the drama that it came with. Praise God, He released me from that ignorance. "I'm not where I need to be but Thank God I ain't where I used to be"-J.M.
These days, I find myself in a completely different battle or battles. Now there is not an option of failure. I have a reliable team mate that Guarantees me a Victory each & every time...GOD! You see, it wasn't up until recently that I realized, I will NEVER loose a battle ever again. GOD has promised me endless happiness :) HE Guarantees that HE will do what HE says HE will do & I will have what HE says I will HAVE. One stipulation....Follow HIM! Do I have to be perfect? NO! That is impossible, there is none like HIM & HE is the only Perfection that we know. HE wants EFFORT!!Ephesians 4:3 "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." HE wants us to know who we are in HIM. Be willing to stand up for HIM & proclaim HIS salvation & what it brings. Scary?? Kinda, yea..." You can feel fear but that doesn't mean you have to be afraid." -J.M. There is nothing to fear but fear itself! We got to be willing to fight The Fight of Faith! Believe in what we do not see & quit putting faith in the flesh. Yes i know that it is easier said than done but if you have not retained anything from what you have read, Retain this..." We DO NOT have to ever loose another battle again!! GOD is for us, who can come against us?? Nothing & No one! Simple as that....
Today challenge yourself to a fight. No, not with someone but with whatever is a hindrance or stumbling block in your life. Instead of doing whatever it is you normally do, Fight with Faith. Meaning, trust that GOD is going to handle anything & everything. Really trust & believe :) HE says HE will never leave us nor forsake us. Call HIM out & let HIM know of the Promises HE has made. Quote HIS words & tell HIM, " GOD, you said it!!" There is nothing more that a father loves than to know HIS children pay attention to what HE is teaching & saying. Tell HIM, " I got my gloves on DAD"! " I'm ready to fight for what I do not see & believe in the outcome that I know is right!" HE is always ready....ARE YOU??
For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.1 John 5: 4
GOD is good today, tomorrow, & foreverr!!!!!!
