The Fight Of Your Life ! (Must Watch Video For Help !)

 



In the Bible, lions represent strength and power, courage and protection.  However, most Christians are familiar with 1 Peter 5:8 which tells us:  "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"

The devil is "similar" to a lion in wanting to capture you and "devour" you.  Destroy you and tear you to pieces !   But the Bible likens the devil more to be the serpent, the dragon, the deceiver, our adversary.

And therein lies the fight of our lives!   

Spiritual warfare !  Big Time !

        Following is  an excellent 56 minute video on this very subject!  I felt that I must share it with you right away!  I watched it for the first time earlier this morning and it is very thorough with many Scriptures included which will not only inform you and encourage you, but also it will increase your faith in the good Lord  ! !   As the video reminds us, "God is a willing Father Who wants to work in His children's favor."


In the above video,  it reminds us that God is always the Victor!   Our faith can make us victors, as well, with the help of the Holy Spirit.  

As stated also in the above spiritual help:

 1.  Tests are the mothers of testimonies !

  2.  Conflicts are stories that lead to victories!

   3.  Trials can only end in triumphs !

   4.   Problems are won with solutions !

Trust in God!

Do not fear anything !

Fear and Trust cannot live at the same time in one's heart !

What should keep you going is the love of God and of Christ !



Following is a partial quote from one of Charles Spurgeon's devotionals:

"We pray daily:  ' Let thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done on earth, even as it is in heaven.'   (Matthew 6:10).  We have fellowship with Christ in His sufferings.  We are not nailed to the Cross, nor do we die a cruel death, but when He is reproached, we are reproached; and a very sweet thing it is to be despised for following the Master, to have the world against us.  The disciple should not be above his Lord.  In our measure we commune with Him in His labors, ministering to men by the Word of Truth, and by deeds of love.  Our meat and our drink, like His, is to do the will of Him Who hath sent us, and to finish His work.  We have also fellowship with Christ in His joys.  We are happy in His happiness; we rejoice in His exaltation.  Have you ever tasted that joy, believer?  There is no purer or more thrilling delight to be known this side of heaven than that of having Christ's joy fulfilled in us, that our joy may be full.  His glory awaits us to complete our fellowship;  for His Church shall sit with Him upon His throne, as His well-beloved Bride....."   (end of quote).

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.  This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of Me, saith the LORD."  -   Isaiah 54:17

"Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you."  -  2 Chronicles 20:17

"Have not I commanded thee?  Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."   -  Joshua 1:9

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."  -    Hebrews 13:5

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that seek Him."  -  Hebrews 11:6

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." -   Hebrews 11:1
