Pastor Chris
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:12).
The Gospel of Jesus Christ which has been
committed to us is still largely unknown and misunderstood by many, even
Christians. This accounts for the failure, lack, poverty, frustrations,
sicknesses, and other challenges that many face: where they have a
conflict between what the Word says, and their own personal experiences.
This causes questions to arise in their hearts. It’s like someone who
finds some terrible symptoms of sickness welling up in his body and
wonders why there’s no change, in spite of what he knows and believes in
the Word. He may have shouted the Word, spoken kindly, fasted about the
situation, sowed seeds, and even prayed all manner of prayers, yet
nothing changed. Now, he’s wondering, "What am I doing wrong; what am I
supposed to do that I’m not doing?"
The first thing you need to
realize is that the Bible does tell us that there’s a fight of faith:
"Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou
art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many
witnesses" (1 Timothy 6:12). The fight of faith is the unleashing of
your faith on the rebellious circumstances of time to compel changes to
correspond with your stubborn faith proclamations. The Word of God is
real and true, but that doesn’t mean the experiences of your life will
automatically line up with the Word! You’re the one to make them so; as
Jesus often said, "thy faith hath made thee whole."
You’re the one
to subdue and exercise dominion over the circumstances and forces that
come against you. The Word never fails; so stick with the Word, and your
testimonies and praise reports will be inevitable, for the Lord will
see to it that your faith in His Word prevails.
Confession
As
I unleash my faith today, it produces tremendous results against
contrary circumstances. The Word of faith is in my heart and in my
mouth. Therefore, by my proclamations of faith, I prevail over and
subdue every challenging situation, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
