FIGHT A GOOD

FIGHT OF
FAITH
[WARFARE]
1Timothy.6: 11-16
11
But you, O man of God, flee these things
and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith,
love, patience, gentleness. 12Fight the good
fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to
which you were also called and have
confessed the good confession in the
presence of many witnesses. 13I urge you in
the sight of God who gives life to all things,
and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the
good confession before Pontius Pilate, 14that
you keep this commandment without spot,
blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s
appearing, 15which He will manifest in His
own time, He who is the blessed and only
Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of
lords, 16who alone has immortality, dwelling
in unapproachable light, whom no man has
seen or can see, to whom be honor and
everlasting power. Amen.
The bible is our training manual for
strategic warfare. (It was written from a
military perspective.)
Exo.15: 3 The Lord is a man of war, The
Lord of hosts is his name.
2Sam.22: 35 He teacheth my hands to
war, so that a bow of steel is broken by
mine arms.
22:40 For thou hast girded me with
strength to battle.

Rev 12:11 and they overcame him by

the blood of the lamb and the word or
their testimony,

Josh 10:25 And Joshua said unto them,

Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong
and of good courage: for thus shall the
LORD do to all your enemies against
whom ye fight.

Lu.10: 19 Behold I give unto you power

to tread upon serpents and scorpions
and over all the power of the enemy and
nothing shall by any means hurt you.
(Notice the power is for treading,)
God didn’t save us to take us to heaven,
He saved you to train you, equip you,
and empower you, to confront and
conquer the powers of darkness.
Jn.14: 12 The works that I do shall ye
do also and greater works than these
shall ye do because I go unto my father.
What works did he do?
Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with
Power who went about doing good and
healing all that were oppressed of the
devil for God was with him.
Col.2: 15 He spoiled principalities and
powers.

1Pet.5: 8 Warns us that the battle is real

(Be sober be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil walketh about as a
roaring lion seeking whom he may
devour.)

Eph.6: 10-18 Describes the warfare as

very intensive requiring an all out effort
and total commitment of mind body and
spirit.
It also clearly describes the child of God
as the aggressor (we see this spirit in
David’s warfare with Goliath) He = David
was the aggressor.

For years the church was held in

bondage with a Hold the fort mentality
(This is contradictory to the spirit of the
word.
Mt.11: 12 the kingdom of heaven
suffereth violence and the violent take it
by force.
Lu.19: 13 Occupy till I come, (That’s a
military term meaning, DISPOSSESS
AND POSSESS

God gave us his armor to fight the good

fight of faith.
The safest place for the child of God is in
the heat of the battle, We were born for
the battle, bred for the battle, and
trained for the battle, we fulfill our
purpose when we are in our place in the
battle.

2 Sam 11:1 And it came to pass, after

the year was expired, at the time when
kings go forth to battle, that David sent
Joab, and his servants with him, and all
Israel; and they destroyed the children
of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But
David tarried still at Jerusalem.
The great king and warrior David fell
into a horrible pit of sin and deception,
all because he stayed home when he
should have been in the battle.

2Tim.2: 3-4 tells us that there will be

hardships, that’s to be expected in a
warfare.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a
good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth
himself with the affairs of this life; that
he may please him who hath chosen him
to be a soldier.

The best news of all is that we already

know the outcome of this warfare, It’s
already been won.
But you said I had to fight (Yes, THE
GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH) Jesus has
already won the victory, our part is to
take the stand of faith and enforce that
victory.

I Jn 5:4 for whatsoever is born of God

overcometh the world: and this is the
victory that overcometh the world, even
our faith.

The fight of faith is a good fight, Why?

Because true living faith is never
disappointed.
It is impossible for faith to lose,
(According to your faith be it unto thee).
