Be Strong! You Can Do It, Fight! Win!

‭‭The command of God is to be strong and courageous. That sounds easier said than done from a natural standpoint. Without the Lord’s help, for many it can be a bit much. Depending on what we’re dealing with in life at the time, it could seem impossible to be delivered from our weaknesses, therefore finding it impossible to be strong and courageous. That’s the tone of a weak in faith believer of God’s promises. We are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10). The Lord would not ask us to do something without Him knowing we could (we must invoke our wills to do it). The disconnect is, God gives His promises based on the expectancy of us fulfilling other areas of His teachings and precepts. Meaning all things work together for our good as we pursue fulfilling all manner of righteousness. Our relationship with God must have some depth to it. It’s like dealing with anybody else, God’s word is conditional. We can be strong in the Lord, and courageous by being strong in our fellowship with Him. The more quality time spent with God, the stronger you will become. It’s not free as far as a cost to your flesh (your feelings or emotions) is concerned. Do not be afraid, and you won’t have to once you’ve made yourself valuable for the Lord’s use. Be strong, Fight! Win!
