Today I want to motivate someone, to keep fighting the good fight.

1 Timothy 6:12: Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

God is telling us to keep going, we have to understand that God never said we wouldn’t go through things. We will go through trials and tribulations, we live in this sinful world. But God promises us he will be with us through it all. He told us do not worry because Jesus already conquered the world. So it may look like the devil is winning over you, but trust me he will never win over you. I know it’s hard to believe sometimes that we have the victory when all we are seeing with our natural eyes is the opposite of victory. But we do have victory, God promised that. We need to understand that this isn’t the end for those who hold hope in Jesus Christ. If we hold firm no matter what comes our way and continue to believe in Jesus Christ, our end goal (our reward) is eternity in heaven with our Father. But he also wants us to experience eternity here on earth. I believe that sometimes we forget about the essential tools God left us here on earth. God left us the ability to have faith for a reason.

Faith in Hebrews 11:1 tells us, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see”.

Meaning we may not see that things are going to get better, we may not see the victory, we may not see transformation, healing, love, joy, goodness, freedom, etc (whatever you hope for). But we must believe that even though things don’t look good, we have to believe it like it’s already good. You have to see it before it happens. For example in the natural I see that I’m not where I need to be nor want to be in my intimacy level with God. But I have to walk and talk like I’m already there, even though I don’t see it yet. I have to believe that even though things don’t look like how I hope for right now, it’s going to happen in Gods time (it’s coming!) God will make it a reality I just have to hope and walk like it’s already in existence/reality. It’s not based on what I see right now, it’s based on if I believe it’s going to happen. God can make anything happen, but do you believe/ trust in his magnitude ?

Do not be dismayed, do not let your heart get sadden neither get discouraged. When you get discouraged that means you are losing hope. God is clear on why he tells us to have faith and not go based on what we do not see. Keep going, have faith. Live like it’s already happening, when you least expect it God will make it happen. If it’s according to his will, I think we also forget that God is a careful Father. He’s not going to give you something he knows will harm you. God knows everything he does and does not do and the reasoning. There are a lot of factors that play in that we do not realize. Don’t give up!!! Keep walking…. Keep believing it’s coming…. Grab your tool (faith) it’s really powerful once you truly believe in it.
