in 1 Timothy 6: 12, 1863, Arthritis, Confession is possession, Healing site, I've read many books, John S.B. Monsell, lay hol;d on eternal life, Point them to God, William Boyd Tags: FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH
I decided to put an end to the devil’s beatings that he was putting on me. I decided to fight. In my spirit I could hear him saying that he was so sorry that I laid hold of the Word of God and the promises of God. My decision to fight for my health and my life is the reason I am able to write to you now and tell you that you don’t have to believe the lies of the enemy; you can believe God’s word. However, I can’t put it in your spirit, you’ve gotta do it.
I don’t know what your “it” is…but if it’s sickness or disease; fight it.
This is a healing site. Today, as I studied the scriptures and read many books I thought about so many people who face so many challenges. I was led to call to give words of encouragement to many in my family who face various tests or trials. I thought about how many people like myself who know people stricken with various ailments and our obligation to pray for them, point them to God and to uplift them. We have to tell them to FIGHT!
The words are from the Bible, 1 Timothy 6.12 (King James Version):
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
John S. B. Monsell and William Boyd, 1863 wrote a song about it and this is what they said
Fight the good fight with all thy might;
Christ is thy Strength, and Christ thy Right;
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.
Now regarding your healing; you’ve got to take a stand; a defensive one. Get you some healing scriptures, read the Word of God, build yourself up in faith, continue, be consistent, be diligent, do not grow weary, God will come through. This is a fight that you’ve already won, but your victory will be delayed if you quit. It is so.
Maybe, it’s not you that faces the challenges; maybe it’s someone that you know. Give them encouragement and make up your mind to coach them to victory. You have that spirit in you. If you get tired, cast your cares upon God; He cares for you.
I spoke with my cousin today and she said: “My arthritis is acting up.” I told her that her confession is her possession. I told her that arthritis had been around for many years for all who had received it and that no offense; arthritis wasn’t hers. She thanked me.
