Frequency Pt5 War For What God Has Spoke
What is involved in fighting for the things that God has specifically spoken to us?
Here are three things involved in the fight for the things God has spoken to us.
We need to go to war over the things that God has spoken to us.
Paul commands Timothy to go to war. This informs us that war for the things of God is expected. In most cases, there are no easy victories.
[2Ki 13:18-19 NASB95]
We must be all in if we will fulfill His call on our lives. [Col 4:17 NASB95]
The promises of God are worth fighting for. Be strong in the Lord. Be willing to fight for it just because God wants to give it to you.
We need to keep fighting for what God has spoken to us.
The term keeping the faith has a meaning of endurance to it.
What God says to you does not always come to pass quickly. During those waiting times, the Word will try you. [Psa 105:17-19 NASB95].
Are we going to keep holding on to the word?
Don’t become weak in faith. Don’t waver in unbelief. Become fully assured. [Rom 4:16-22 NASB95]
We must refuse to compromise about what God has spoken to us.
The end does not justify the means. Saul had the kingdom taken from him because he disregarded what God said for him to do so he could keep his victory.
Jeroboam had one of the greatest personal prophecies not come to pass because he compromised the commands of God.
The promise. [1Ki 11:31, 37-38 NASB95]
The compromise. [1Ki 12:26-28 NASB95]
The tragic result. [1Ki 13:34 NASB95]
Stay in obedience and integrity as you pursue the promise of God in your life.
God wants us to fight for what He has spoken to us, which will require us to persevere as we walk in obedience and integrity.
