Hey people! How is your week going? Have you been conquerors or cowards? It's only one way to be in Christ and that's definitely a conqueror. Despite popular belief, being a Christian is not for the weak. I am sure you can attest to that. Seriously, every day our God is questioned and our faith is ridiculed. We get talked about(for Christ sake) and much more on a weekly bases. Well, if we are living right because if not then satan really doesn't care to bother us, but hey we can discuss that on another post. Anywho since being a Christian takes much confidence, we must keep on the lookout for anything that may destroy or hinder our boldness in God.
One sure way to remain a conqueror is keeping our guard up. I don't know too much about boxing, but what I will say is the boxer signals he is ready for a fight when his gloves are up. Standing in perfect position, feet swift, usually had a good training in before the fight, & knowing his opponents weakness guarantees him a victory. On the other hand, if his gloves are down usually he is getting beat up, or tired, wasn't prepared, or all three. Same with us. If we don't get enough Word(excluding Sunday & Bible study), know our enemy, and keep our guard down by constantly feeding our flesh then we are begging satan to tear us to pieces. Look the devil knows The Word, knows God, & already been to Heaven. Also, he never lost his gift from God. Without us tapping into God's Strength we are no match for the devil. So why not use ALL of our advantages over him? We can't win without them.
So if you feel as though you are defeated ask yourself was your guard ever up? Maybe it was up and you got tired and gave up. Did you train well enough for the fight? If we train for the fight, we know that we aren't the ones fighting, but it is He Who fights our battles. It is He Who will break the necks of our enemies(Psalm 18:40). It is He Who hides us from our enemies (Psalm 91:4). God does most of the work, but we must fight our portion with His Word and our faith. That 2pc combo will guarantee a KO every time. Is your guard up?
