We Must Protect Our Faith, Because Hell and High Water Are Coming

Keeping our faith intact can be a serious fight at times. Our faith is always being tested when trouble from the storms of life comes to visit. Without testing or being tried by fire, and the deep waters of a crisis, how can we know what’s really in our hearts, (we don’t always know how we may react in a moment of surprise trouble). We defend our children at all costs as we should. We’re their guide, guardian, and protector for a period of time in their lives. Our faith is to be guarded and protected in the same way. It is vitally important to put a guard at our ear gate, and not allow our confession (our speech) to be in opposition of what we’re believing for. What we hear can affect our faith negatively or positively, and what we say has the power of change on our lips. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing God’s word (Romans 10:17). Our faith is what got us into God’s family (Romans 10:9-10), and is still the hand that takes from God whatever we need in this earth realm to help us here and now. Fight the good fight of keeping your faith protected just like you protect a loved one. It is our most valuable commodity in the kingdom of God and for victorious living on planet earth. We walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7), and we are led by our born again re-created human spirits and not by our emotions or unrenewed thought patterns.
