The Battle for Your Heart: Fighting the Right Way

When everything seems to be falling apart, it can be challenging to keep fighting. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and give up, especially when we're facing opposition from within and outside. However, the Bible teaches us that the battle is not lost until we've fought it out with God first. Before we deal with others, we need to settle the matter with Him. This means getting alone with God, praying, and seeking His guidance and strength.

God Fights for You: The Power of Perseverance

When we feel exhausted and can't fight anymore, we need to remember that God gives us other people to help us. The church is like a tag-team wrestling match, where we work together to overcome challenges. When we're united, we can come to mutual agreements without fighting. However, when we're not united, everything falls apart. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. This means that even in the midst of conflict, we can choose to forgive and seek peace. We still have disagreements, but we don't fight the way we used to. We've learned to outwait each other, trusting that God will fight for us and give us the strength we need to persevere.

Engaging the Battle: Fighting the Right Enemy

The battle we face is not just with other people, but also with our own sinful desires and lusts. We need to engage this battle by separating from the object of our affections and praying. This means being willing to listen to others and seeking God's guidance, even when it's difficult. The devil is our enemy, not the person we're dealing with. We need to stay focused on our goal of helping the other person, not on winning an argument. By praying and seeking God's strength, we can overcome our fears and frustrations, and fight the battle in a way that honors God. Remember, God fights for you, and with Him on your side, you can overcome any obstacle.
