“Faith, without trouble or fighting, is a suspicious faith;
for true faith is a fighting, wrestling faith.”
Ralph Erskine
A few days ago, I started this post on “Keep Fighting Back: The Good Fight”. We ended on the matter if you stick with God you can survive in any fight you enter. Glad to have you back again for the continuation.
Before we go any further, what does it mean to survive? Survive– to remain alive or in existence; outlive; persevere:
Anytime you hear about a fight or a war you also hear about casualties. It’s time now for God’s people to stop becoming casualties, P.O.W. and victims to now becoming Victors. I am not asking you if you like to fight; you better fight if you want to survive.
How did we get here? “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”. Revelation 12:7-12 (KJV).
From then to now we were in a war zone, and you are not excluded. Take a look at a number of the movies, television shows, cartoons, songs and the likes, they generally fall along these lines of good vs. evil. This leaves you with the choice who’s side will you be on?
Are you fit for this fight? There is always help available if you need it. “Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:” Psalm 144:1 (KJV).
You have an assignment in this battle and you need to know what it is or you’ll be out of place. When you are out of place you can be responsible for causing trouble in the camp. You can also make it hard for everyone else.
You must also be aware that in every army you have traitors, betrayers, people who sell out to the enemy and set you up for the kill. Not all of the attacks come from the outside, many come from friendly fire. When you thought you were safe, now you need eyes in the back of your head cause you don’t know who to trust.
To keep fighting and survive in this fight you need to:
1. Know your enemy – (I Peter 5:8) Your adversary is the devil and you must treat him like that.
2. Communicate with the chief – (2 Chronicles 20:3; Ephesians 6:18) You have to stay in connection (pray) with headquarters.
3. Hear & follow instructions – (2 Chronicles 20:15-20) The instructions that are handed down are the plans and strategy of the chief. What chief doesn’t plan his attack or retaliation? (Luke 14:31) When you rebel you jeopardize your life and others.
4. Believe – (2 Chronicles 20:20) You will have a hard time if you don’t believe in the chief and his appointed officers. Other people who don’t believe will always try to stop you from going forward. Faith takes you forward.
Finally, I do encourage you to have enduring faith that will give you the edge over the enemy.
