Fighting the Good Fight of Faith

1Timothy 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.
When we hear from God and He tells us what is yet to come to pass we are encouraged and motivated to continue in God's will. What can happen though, as time goes by, the storms of life hit or if we are just plain under attack by the devil, it can discourage us. That's where doubt comes in and we start thinking about if we can really do what God said. We have to remember that it's not us but God in us that will complete what God has promised. We are His vessels, therefore we need to cooperate with God and not the enemy (devil). Doing this, the seed, being God's Word, will produce a harvest, which is God's perfect plan being set in motion and being completed for His Kingdom.
We have to fight the good fight of faith, believing God's Word without physically seeing the manifesations of it. God's Word is truth and He is not a man that He should lie. (Numbers 23:19)
 Let us take hold of the eternal life, which starts when we confess Jesus is our Lord and Savior and believe in our hearts that Jesus died for us and was raised to life again. (Romans 10:9) From that moment on we continually are being molded and shaped into the likeness of Christ by being transformed by the renewing of our minds. (Romans 12:2)
 The transformation will only take place by reading the Bible, which is the Word and is truth. The truth sets us free. (John 8:32) Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." .(John 14:6)
Whatever God has told us is true no matter how it looks, how you feel, whatever circumstances come up. God is mighty and powerful, His Word is true and everything that God speaks forth will come to pass. With this being said, let us not get discouraged or doubt. God is more than willing and able, He meets us where we are at and as long as we do what we can, He will do what we can't.
Fight the Good Fight of Faith!
