YOUR FIGHT OF FAITH
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 1Timothy 6:12

Let us do a little study on this phrase “Fight the Good fight of faith”.

The first word we find here is fight. The Bible says “fight”
The word fight according to the Chambers dictionary means to strive, to contend or in single combat, to engage in conflict with, to contend against etc.

The bible says you should fight. It does not say you should cry or wonder “Why is this happening to me”; “Why have the pains come back”. No! You are supposed to fight, to resist the counter attacks of the devil.

‘Resist the devil (stand firm against him) and he will flee from you.’ (James 4:7 AMP).

Stand firm against the devil. Don’t shake or quiver. Maintain your stand against him and he will flee. The Word of God says the devil has been programmed or configured to flee when you resist him.

How do you fight? - Remember the devil is not a physical being- so you can not fight him physically, but with the Word of God you win. Look at the temptation of Jesus Christ. How did he defeat the devil? By using the Word of God. Several times He said… “It is written”. In the account of his temptation, the Bible says the devil left him for a season or for a while. Notice it did not say the devil left him forever.

And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. Luke 4: 13

Several times in Jesus’ ministry, the devil attacked him through people but he was well prepared for this attacks. He spoke the Word of God. This is one reason you must learn God’s Word for yourself. Let his Word dwell in you richly so that only his Word will come from your mouth even in situations that try to contradict God’s Word.

The next thing to note is that the Bible says “fight the good fight”

If God says it is a good fight then it is. It is a good fight because according to the Word of God, you have been declared the winner from the beginning (even before you threw a punch). He says “You are more than a conqueror” (Romans 8:37). He says “God always causes us to triumph” (2 Corinthians 2:14). Settle it in your heart that you already have the victory. The Bible says “You have overcome the world” (John). “And this is the victory that overcomes the world even our faith” (1 John 5:4). It says “Greater is he that is in you” (1 John 4:4). You are an over comer.

How do you overcome the world? By speaking faith filled words. This is how to overcome; pains, lying symptoms and disease.

So be of good cheer for it’s a good fight.

The Bible says “fight the good fight of faith”. Brothers & sisters, this good fight is a fight of faith. It’s a fight of the contradictory sensory evidence against the eternal unchanging Word of God. It’s a fight against the lies, tricks and strategies of the devil. The Word of God is your proof of healing. God does not lie.

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie (Hebrews 6:18a)
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent… (Numbers 23; 19)

Certain thoughts may come to you e.g. “Uncle XYZ died of this condition”, “Aunty ABC died of a similar condition”, “it looks like you will not get healed”. All the pictures you envision are of you in a coffin or casket. Brothers& Sisters, what must you do? It’s time to mount guard over your heart with the Word of God. ‘Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life.’(Proverbs 4:23)

You are the healed of God. Don’t cry. Don’t beg!  Confess the Word of God about your health. Resist the symptoms/pains. Speak the Word out loud; before you know it the fear will recede, the attacks will be gone.
