(Your Victory For Each Fight Is Guaranteed)
TO THE BIBLE: 1 Timothy 6:12 NIV
“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.”
LET’S TALK
In 2 Timothy 4:7 NIV, the Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” What fight was he talking about? He referred to it in our opening verse as “the good fight of faith.”
No matter what happens in your life, in the world, or around you, refuse to be broken, disillusioned or overwhelmed. Instead, use your faith!
Your faith is the victory that overcomes the world and its failures, corruption, darkness, wickedness and decadence. Every adversity you face is your opportunity for a testimony, as you use a formidable weapon in your arsenal—the shield of faith!
That’s the one you’re counselled to take up to cover all others: “Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one]” (Ephesians 6:16 AMPC).
With your faith, you’re able to extinguish, neutralize, and make of no effect, ALL the fiery darts of the wicked. Never think there’s a challenge you can’t surmount.
No trouble is too much for you to overcome. With the shield of faith, you’re invincible. It doesn’t matter how Satan throws the darts at you; remain strong in faith!
It may seem like all hell has broken loose in your body; you feel terrible pains and discomfort. Refuse to accede to sickness and disease; use your faith and declare faith-filled words about your body and your health.
Remember “…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word (the Rhema) of God” (Ephesians 6:17). That’s the Word of God spoken forth from your lips.
It doesn’t matter how excruciating the pain is; keep affirming your healing and health. Soon enough, your faith will prevail and you’d be able to say like Paul, “I have fought a good fight…I have kept the faith.” Hebrews 10:35 says, “…Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded” (NIV).
Don’t say, “Lord, it became too hard; I had to give in.” No, fight! The fight of faith is your personal fight, and it’s a good fight because you always win. Keep at it, for your victory is guaranteed!

Ephesians 6:10-13; Romans 4:19-20; 1 John 4:4
Speak:
It makes no difference the troubles in the world or what I see, hear or feel; my victory is guaranteed! I am what God says I am, I have what He says I have, and I can do what He says I can do! I refuse to accept sickness, poverty, defeat or give in to anything contrary to my divine heritage in Christ. I maintain my confession of the Word, strong in faith, giving glory to God because the greater One lives in me! Hallelujah!
