Biblical Answer

When it feels like we're losing in our battles, it's essential to remember that the battle is not always won or lost in the external world. Instead, we must first fight the battle in the internal world, before God. This means getting alone with Him, seeking His guidance and strength, and settling the matter once and for all. Until we do this, we will continue to lose every time, no matter how hard we try. The Spirit of God compels us to do this, and it may take a minute or a year, but it's a crucial step in our journey. Our faith keeps us fighting, whether we seem to be winning or not, because it's the right thing to do. We keep fighting because we know that our ultimate victory is not on this earth, but in heaven. Christians have lost battles before, but we must persevere, just like a good soldier of Christ Jesus, as Paul advises Timothy (2 Tim. 2:3).

When we feel like giving up, it's essential to remember that we don't have to fight alone. God gives us other people to support us, so we don't have to face our battles by ourselves. The church is like a tag-team wrestling match, where we can call for help when we're feeling exhausted. We must also remember that our physical weakness does not motivate us to engage in spiritual battle. Instead, we should be compelled to examine ourselves, repent, and seek spiritual resources to fight a winning battle. Knowing that we have a self-centered heart should motivate us to do this, and it's a crucial step in growing spiritually. We must also remember that any time we're close to achieving the glory of Christ, we'll find resistance in our own hearts, which is often abetted by dark powers.

Ultimately, the question of whether to keep fighting is answered by our life purpose. If the struggle fits within our purpose, then we must keep fighting. We all have a purpose in life, and it's essential not to get sidetracked by fighting battles that don't align with our purpose. We must also remember that our arguments and reasons for our faith are not the key to winning the battle. Instead, it's our faith itself that keeps us fighting, even when it feels like we're losing. As the Bible says, "We still stumble for we are not yet perfected" (Romans 3:23). But we must keep fighting, because it's the right thing to do, and because our ultimate victory is in heaven. So, we must persevere, get alone with God, seek His guidance and strength, and keep fighting, no matter what.
