This is unavoidable! The verse quoted above states that we should count it all joy when we find ourselves in various tribulations because the final product is hope. How do we gain this hope? By engaging in spiritual warfare and exercising our faith. God expects us to walk in the authority given to us by our Savior. Trials and tribulation give us an opportunity to exercise our authority, overcome the struggle and bring him glory! When I sense that the Lord has given me knowledge of struggles that are ahead, I prepare for battle! I immediately turn to prayer and fasting. Yep, I said fasting. If the spirit and flesh are at war, the flesh must be weakened so that the spirit may be empowered. Victory over the struggle is always the goal. I learned that from the life of the One I follow. Jesus always walked in victory except when the faith of the people was too weak or non existent. I'm thankful that the Lord doesn't expect me to just sit back and endure difficult times. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ," II Corinthians 4 - 5.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02827755728342019348noreply@blogger.com
