Biblical Answer

Fighting Against the Odds

Fighting against the odds can be a daunting task, but it is not impossible. When everything seems to be against us, it is essential to remember that our battle is not with the external world, but with the internal and spiritual forces that seek to defeat us. The first step in fighting against the odds is to engage the battle within ourselves. This means getting alone with God, doing battle before Him, and settling the matter once and for all. It is only when we have dealt with our internal struggles that we can effectively engage with the external world.

God Fights the Battle

It is essential to remember that our part of the fight is to pray, and God actually fights the battle for us. This is a crucial truth that can give us the strength and courage we need to keep fighting. When we feel like giving up, we need to call for help and remember that God gives us other people so that we do not fight alone. The church is like a tag-team wrestling match, where we can rely on the support and encouragement of fellow believers to help us persevere. We need to remember that perseverance is what we need in prolonged wars, and that God is with us every step of the way.

The Importance of Perseverance

Perseverance is essential in fighting against the odds. It is not about being successful all the time, but about staying committed to our values and principles, even when it seems like everything is against us. We need to remember that the glory of Christ is worth fighting for, and that any time we give up or become complacent, we are giving in to the enemy. We need to stay focused on our goals and not let our own frustration or fears get the best of us. We need to stay on track and not give in to the person we are trying to help, but instead, stay focused on helping them see the truth and come to Christ. By persevering and staying committed to our values and principles, we can overcome even the greatest of obstacles and bring glory to God.
