Overcoming life


So hello again, I recently spoke on Death and Life and the sorts. I am now here to speak on overcoming life. We all know life isn't easy, we all get discouraged and there are times that we all want to give up. And I just want to say even though I am young, I have through some pretty serious stuff, and I felt like giving up, but I want to say, that it takes strength to stand up and fight discouragement, it takes strength to battle anxiety, but I have overcome all of it, although it can be brought on by the enemy God has given us the tools to stand up and fight for ourselves, and our family, and everyone we love. But to fight for our friends and family and self we need to 1. not be afraid in the opposition 2. know,love,and trust God, 3. Fight!

Now I know this sounds like I am talking about warfare, in this world there will be warfare of more than one kind. But we are to not be afraid of stepping into battle with the armor of God....(I am going to use the Message, so it will sound wierd) Ephesians 6:10-18 "And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life or death fight to the finish against the devil and all his angels. Be prepared You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, Righteousness, peace, faith, and Salvation are more than just words. Learn to apply them. You'll need them throughout your entire life. God's word is an indespensible weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential for ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out." As you can see even though there is alot of warfare in this passage there is also a call to overcome life whatever it throws at us.... I can from a background where I had to over come my situation and myself and my other adveraries.... and speaking of adversaries here is a list of adversaries you should always watch, because it isn't always or even most the time Satan.....1.Society (or the world) 2. People of no relationship with Christ 3.Ourselves* 4. Satan 5. objects (if you know what I am saying.) Anyway look at this list...Alot of people would not guess that ourselves is an enemy, well.....look....WE CHOOSE to follow Christ....WE CHOOSE to fall away into our own nature... WE CHOOSE to follow other beliefs or religions, or have lusts of something that isn't the truth which is God, he is the truth. John 14:6 I am the Road, also the truth,also the life." He is TRUTH, and WE CHOOSE to follow and accept him as King or WE DONT. People have a way of looking for something like eternal life and then expect life to be easy, but as soon as they find that life isn't any easier they give up, because the word wasn't planted deep enough into the hearts of those people, but an encouragement to help in any situation.....John 16:33 "i've told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this Godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart I have conquered the world." Going back to the first scripture it said "and HE wants us to be STRONG, as he is strong." 1 john 4:4 " My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world." Yep there you go, We are called to conquer, we are called to destiny, to war, we are called to love, we are called to be strong, and to not be afraid. Dueteronomy 31:6 "Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because God, your God is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you." Isn't that great, isn't that encouragement, it is to me.....and I know that sometimes people face some obstacles with each other, we get hurt by each other, especailly when were close to each other, and sometimes we feel like kind of quiting, but thats when we need to stand up and say, "No way, I will not let this control me at all." Another scripture, John 15:18 "If you find the godless world hates you, remember that it hated me first." OK........We have no reason to quit, and when life gets tough, I will tell you don't expect God to say..."Ahhh, come here, everything will be okay." NO! NO! NO! God would say this: "Quit being a baby and fight, dont show anyone any fear, but instead bring fear to them, show them that as with me with you, you can tear anything from limb to limb, FIGHT, but be a baby..." He loves us, but he wants us to overcome, and sometimes ok all the time when things get in our way of destiny we will all have to fight. Never quit, God will never quit on you, so do God a favor and dont quit on him.
This is my blog shed for you....do this and be encouraged and live a fulfilling life, cause that is what God desires for you.
Peace out
