I Will Fight

The enEmy isn't going to stop trying to take us all down and the battle is not over. There will continue a DAILY BATTLE for our MINDS and HEARTS, but we know Who keeps us. WE are already victorious in Him. Stand strong, my brother. Our new perspective makes it easy to say no, but we STILL must SAY, "NO!". darKNess will come knocking and it's up to us to stand firm in Christ Jesus. Temptations and trials will come. Remember, everyone around you is relying on you too. Stand strong, brother of mine.

The Christian life is not a playground. It is a battleground, so today I will give no place to fear or failure. I will not accept a trace of apathy in my attitude or actions. I will reject complacency and embrace the greatness that God has planted inside of me. I will waste no opportunity to glorify God, lift Him up and maximize everything He has entrusted in me. I will fight.

My battle is NOT against flesh and blood, but against a spiritual enEmy who  opposes me, so I will draw the battle lines and face my enEmy with BOLD determination. I will dismantle every argument and pretension that he presents which contradicts what God has spoken. My enEmy fights against me because hE fears me, and every time hE reminds me of my past, I remind hIm of hIs future eternity. Every time I resist hIm, hE must flee, and every time I speak the Truth every stronghold must surrender. I will fight.

Every time I accomplish something God has given me to do, I lift Jesus up. As imperfect as I will no doubt be in my future, I will ALWAYS be among the lowest of soldiers dedicated to lifting up my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,  whenever I can. May I never receive any recognition for any good thing that comes from me. But rather, may the Holy Spirit within me give the glory to Jesus. Today, I will lift up my Lord, Jesus Christ. ~ I will fight.

I will make no excuses, but through every obstacle I will find a way. I will not procrastinate my progress. I will not defer my destiny. I will not waver when I'm weak. I will not cower when my circumstances take a turn for the worse, because greater is He that is in me than hE that is in the world. ~ I will fight.

I will pursue, overtake and recover everything that the enEmy has come to kill, steal and destroy in my life, and even if I lose a battle, I will win the war because I am more than a conqueror through Him that loves me. I am raised to life with Jesus Christ, and I reign WITH Him because I LOOK TO HIM FOR STRENGTH!

I will reject the lies that echo in my mind telling me that I don't have what it takes, that I cannot survive this trial, that my best is behind me, or that humiliation awaits me. The deVil is a LIAR, and my God always causes me to triumph. Through Jesus Christ, my Lord, I will fight!

I'm unashamed to represent a Kingdom that is unshakable. No one will be able to stand against God's plan for me all the days of my life. With my God I will advance against every troop. With His help, I will scale every wall. Though my enEmies surround me, my God surrounds my enEmies!!! Though they may come at me one way, they will flee seven ways because no weapon formed against me will prosper, and every eVil thing that rises against me, I will CONDEMN. I will fight.

I have determined to build my life on the solid foundation of God's perfect Word. By faith I will activate every promise he has made, and I will aim these promises as weapons of mass destruction obliterating every oppONent. The weapons God has given me have divine power. I defy and defeat sin because of the finished work of Christ, my Savior. I am whole-heartedly devoted to the cause God made me for and I have no intention on letting the world define me, because I know who I am, a lowly warrior, a good soldier, a strong and mighty servant of the Living God.  In Christ, I am courageous. In Christ, I am confident. My heart is steadfast. My purpose is immovable. I am always abounding in the work of the Lord and my potential is unlimited because the limitless God lives within me. I will fight.'

The cross is before me. The world is behind me. I'll never turn back. I'll never give up. I'll never settle. I'll never stop short. I will press toward the mark for the prize that is already mine, for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, neither height, nor depth, nor anything else in all of creation shall be able to separate me from my God. And if my God is for me, who can be against me?

I will fight.
