Step Seven: Fight the Good Fight

1 Timothy 6:12  Fight the good fight for the faith.  Keep holding on to eternal life, to which you were called and about which you gave a good testimony in front of many witnesses.

Eternal life is the crown proposed for our encouragement.  Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:11) and take a stand against those negative thoughts and feelings that the devil schemes to bring you down with.

Let Go

Let go of weak faith. Have enough confidence in God to rest in the reality of His nature and have the peace that comes with a strong faith in Him.

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God, that is, for those who are called according to His purpose, all things are working together for good.

Unless we understand the character of God, His Word, His works and His nature, we will struggle to have faith in His plan and purposes, His sovereign control over all circumstances in life and His love for us.

So in keeping with our steps to inner transformation and renewing our minds: take your thoughts captive, confront and deal with sin that is revealed, surrender yourself to God and trust that He is working all things together for good. Depend on His Word and meditate on His works and your faith will be renewed in His plan and purposes.

Philippians 4:7 Then God's peace, which goes far beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your hearts and minds in union with the Messiah Jesus.

Let God

John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who abides in Me while I abide in him produces much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.

Luke 13:24 Keep on struggling to enter through the narrow door, because I tell you that many people will try to enter but won't be able to do so.

Strive to do the work of the kingdom, whatever form that takes in life. Use your spiritual gifts so that I can edify one another and bring God glory.
