1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

We all have desires we want now or in our future. Some of us desire a new house, a car, a spouse, cured of a sickness, or debt freedom. Whatever your desire is, think of that desire right now.

As soon as we have a desire in mind, the enemy will begin his attack. He will bombard us with thoughts about why we can’t have that desire, why we don’t deserve that desire, and/or how it’s impossible to receive that desire. If we want to receive that desire, we must combat his attacks with the Word of God. If he tells us we don’t deserve our desire because of what we’ve done in our past, we have to let the enemy know our past doesn’t define who we are because we’re the righteousness of God (2 Cor. 5:21). If he tells us it’s impossible to receive our desire, we must let him know with God all things are possible to those who believe (Mark 9:23).

The enemy is fine if we go through life, simply existing, and not believing God for anything. However, if we have desires and big dreams we want to see fulfilled in our lifetime, we’re essentially creating a battle. When we stay in faith, believing God for those desires, we’re destined to win every battle.

“Fight the good fight of faith. It’s a good fight because we win.” ~Pastor Bill Winston
