Keep Fighting!
June 1, 2024
The words of this post being shared today were written 6 years ago. I shared it then and it felt like a timely word to share in the moment. Looking back on it six years later, although I feel lead to share it again, I want to preface it with honesty first. After reading what I had written, I was nervous to share this. Hesitant to declare these words again. They feel like such bold statements and seeing that it has been six years and I am still contending for these promises (for myself and many others), I was like I don’t know if it is right for me to share this now.
But…I brought my concerns and feelings to The Lord and He spoke truth. He reminded me that although these seem like bold statements, the righteous are as bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1) and my experience, or lack thereof does not change the truth of His word and what He has spoken. He also reminded me, that He uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27). God asked me: “will you dare to believe (continuing to believe), even when it looks hopeless”. This is faith…believing in spite of. Declaring in spite of. Choosing to hold onto hope even when things look impossible. It’s foolish to the natural mind, but it moves the heart of God when you make the choice to trust Him no matter what. So for those of you who need to read this, may these words from years ago, be the encouragement you need for today.
From 2018…
A few weeks ago, I received this word for myself and I feel that it is not just for me. It’s for many others as well…
“Attack. It’s time to fight.”
For me personally, this year so far has been the worst for me physically. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced so much pain & issues in my body, in my life. As I was going through things, I was noticing friends who deal with different diagnosis, going through so much physically as well. One day, I simply said: God, what’s going on?? I just felt the Lord say to me, that the tide is turning. It may look like it’s getting a whole lot worse, before it gets better. However, the time is coming, where you are going to be set free (yes, I know that I’m free, but this is referring to the natural realm). Just like another great spiritual awakening is coming, great miracles, signs and wonders are going to follow. It’s going to pour like rain… A continuous down pour. This is your moment. This is the time.
Yes we are not waiting on God, because God has already done everything. At the same time though, there’s a time and a place for everything and the time for our prayers to be answered and the desires of our heart to come to pass, is now. It’s coming, the miraculous is going to take place in our lives & it will be a testament to the world, of how great our God is! What’s going to happen in us, will happen through us. Thousands upon thousands will be healed, saved and set free, just by the word of our testimony. All of this is not in vain, but it’s to show forth the glory of God!
In the midst of the struggle, I feel like God is calling us to a place of rest. As you find rest in The Father, He’s strengthening you. Refining all the tools that He’s given you as weapons. Now is the time to strap up & fight. Fight from a place of rest. Fight as though you have the victory over ever circumstance, because you do. Rest enables you to gain strength & strength enables you to fight. So attack! It’s time to fight the good fight of faith, like never before.
I hope that this helps anyone who may be going through rough times. I pray that you are encouraged and that you cling tightly to the promises of God! His word never fails and His promises are yes and amen!
