(Fight The Good Fight Of Faith)
TO THE BIBLE: Hosea 14:2
‘Take words with you, and return to the Lord. Say to Him, “Take away all iniquity; receive us graciously, for we will offer the sacrifices of our lips.”’
LET’S TALK
Being born again, we’re involved in spiritual warfare—a fight of faith. Actually, it’s called “the good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12). It’s a good fight because we always win!
If a Christian loses in the good fight of faith, then he or she isn’t using the right arsenal, and part of that arsenal is prophecy.
In 1 Timothy 1:18, the Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, gave an important charge to Timothy and, by extension, the rest of us, saying, “This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare.”
We make war with prophecies. You shouldn’t let the Lord’s words that have gone forth concerning your finances, health, family, or education fall to the ground. Use them in your fight of faith.
Make war with them. No matter what comes against you, no matter the challenges or crises you face, declare the Word.
It’s time to make war with those prophecies you wrote somewhere in your note or diary. God gave you those words for you to affirm the same in consent. If you don’t say it, it won’t work. “…For He Himself has said… so we may boldly say…” (Hebrews 13:5-6).
For example, Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.”
Don’t just read that and be quiet; respond. Declare, “I’m forever protected and fortified against all evil and wickedness in this world. I dwell in the safety and peaceful habitation of the Almighty, a place of glory, dominion, and everlasting joy, where I reign and rule with Christ over circumstances.”
In the face of trouble or adversity, make war with words. Affirm your victory. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit at work in me and the ability He’s given me to speak forth words of power. Even now, I declare that I’m functioning in perfection, supernatural supply, strength, ability, wisdom, and knowledge; I know things by the Holy Ghost, and I’m fulfilling my destiny in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
