Fight The Good Fight

Day 5 FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

EPHESIANS 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Something that is so important for us to recognize is that the devil is responsible for trying our Faith. I remember the scripture saying, “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” (Ephesians 6:16)

In this battle, the Lord has told you to arm yourself with many things, however, only your shield can protect you from the enemy’s weapon. Your shield is your faith and the devil’s fiery darts can definitely be thoughts, that seek to challenge your belief in what God has said. In Day 1 of this Challenge, God taught us that He was a keeper and Day 2 caused us to reflect on His Word concerning us. So today, the devil is challenging it. Nevertheless, hold on to the truth NO MATTER WHAT! That is how you keep your shield positioned and fixed. He will come with thoughts and feelings that will seek to undermine the truth that God has already spoken. Despite this, God cannot lie. Instead, shake and encourage yourself in the truth and you will be able to stand in the evil day of temptation. Fight the good fight.

ACTIVITY:

Write down 5 things God has said about you in His Word, that the devil tends to challenge. Then thank God for each of those truths.

It is an awesome thing Father, that you have already overcome anything I will ever face. In you I am truly more a conqueror. You have already defeated anything that would cause me to fall. So I agree with you and will allow you to be glorified in me. Amen
