Are You Ready To Argue?

The good fight of faith is an argument between God's Truth (His Word) and any other words spoken in opposition to that Truth. God's Word says in 1 Peter 2:24 that by His (Jesus') stripes you WERE healed. The doctor's report says you are sick. The doctor's report argues against God's report (Isa 53:1). Who will believe God's report over the doctor's report? The one that does receives his healing, the one that doesn't receives what the doctor's report says.

2 Cor 10:3-5 says that we (the Believer) are to cast down arguments (imaginations) that oppose the Word of Truth. This is how you fight the good fight of faith ( 1 Tim 6:12) by casting down arguments. Why is it called a good fight? Because the battle is not mine, but the Lord's (2 Chor 20:15). God uses me to take Him into the battle, but it is His fight. The victory has already been determined. It's a good fight because we win!

This is how you live by faith in the Kingdom of God. Jesus said that we (Believer's) are in the world but not of the world (John 17:14-18). Believers don't live like those in the world live. Believers live by faith in what God says, not by what those in the world say. When someone speaks the World's words to a Believer, the Believer casts them down by exalting the Word of God over it. The Believer wins every argument against those in the World if the Believer will hold fast to the Word of Truth.

The Believer will have to argue with those in the World, but God declared us Believers the winner every time for the Holy Spirit says in Rom 8:37, that we Believers are more than conquerors through Him (Jesus) who loved us.

Now let me say this in closing. Your argument is not with the Doctor who gives you his report. Your argument is with the devil when he tries to use the doctor's report to defeat your faith in God's Word. Jesus is the Truth and the devil is a liar, so just by knowing this, it's not really a fair fight at all. The devil is a loser and he knows it, he just hopes that you don't.

Be Blessed!!!
