Believing God is a powerful weapon against our enemy. The Lord has given us many promises in His Word, but we must combine our faith with them and BELIEVE that they are true. We must believe that His promises are for us.
When our faith rises in the enemy’s face, it is exhausting for him. He can see that our shield of faith is in place and all of his darts of fire are going to be extinguished. He gets weary of launching weapons that fail. His tenacity begins to wane. His plans will fail, because he becomes discouraged by our persistence.
Sometimes there is a wrestling match involved in our fight. The enemy does not just instantly let go, because he wants us to wear us down and wear out. We have to speak words that make our faith rise up. We must sing songs throughout the day, songs that have words of power, to make our faith rise up. We have to pray to make our faith rise up. We must have the fellowship of other believers to give us a boost by believing with us, agreeing in prayer with us and encouraging us with the Word.
We are in a war and are called to be soldiers. We cannot let down and ask Satan for détente so we can relax and ease the fight. We have to fight through until we see the victory. When victory comes, we must never let that shield of faith down, even for a moment. Why? Because our enemy is always looking for opportunities of weakness.
What have you believed God for? What battle have you wrestled through until the end? When we are fighting the good fight of faith, our God is fighting with us. Isn’t that good news? God is with us when we are fighting a good fight.
I have a word for some of you, “Rise up sister; take up your shield, believe God and fight a good fight!”
Believe until you see, then rejoice and praise your God for giving you the grace to believe!
