Thanks For Making Me A Fighter!
I am so hyped up to “fight”! Focused and fixed, I promise you, I must’ve came out of my mother’s womb with both dukes up, swinging in the air!
I don’t know why I have this “fighter” in me, but everytime someone says something about being a fighter or my pastor says that amazing verse,
“Look to yourselves (take care) that you may not lose (throw away or destroy) all that we and you have labored for, but that you may [persevere until you] win and receive back a perfect reward [in full].” 2 John 1:8 AMP
I just get awakened, in the most energized way!
The one thing that I value the most is my relationships, I’ve always had that value in my life (my relationship with God being the greatest treasure). Everyone in my life that I hold or held dear to me I believe God has brought into my life. Once I get close, my heart is vulnerable because if the enemy messes with them, he messes with me.
When things don’t go the way I know they should, whether it’d be between me and them or even if their relationship with God gets threatened, I tend to fight! Not fight with them, but fight the division, fight for the relationship. I always believe that their drifting away is a good indication that their relationship with God is slipping or has slipped. With this past year alone, so many people who I loved have either left church or left God all together! Of course my relationship with them will soon drift or dissipate.
I admire people who fight for their relationships, I know some people who are fighting now – and even without them knowing it, I pray for them! But when you see the enemy mess with the people in your life, you can’t just sit down and watch them go down!!! I fight for them! I won’t let the enemy lure them in making decsions in their lives that God had not inspired or going down a wrong path. True, yes true I cannot change anyone, I cannot decide how someone else should live their lives, I cannot make someone do something they don’t want to do – but I can pray, I can use those weapons that are not carnal but mighty! And if others choose to do what they’d like, than the enemy will have resistance from me first before he even thinks of claiming someone else’s destiny, sabotaging someone else’s dream, or ruining their love for God above all else!!!
And he’s done this with so many of the most closest people I could think of in my life! I’m mad! he’s messed with me one too many times!!! he doesn’t realize, does he? he doesn’t realize that for every person he tries to lure away (from God) is one step closer to making me the ultimate fighter!
A lot of my friends like to watch “fights” – but when you’re a fighter, you don’t have to watch a fight! Life is a fight! It’s a good fight of faith.
I know you love the people in your life. I want to plead with you – don’t see those loved ones in the light based on what they do or what they get involved in, in how they leave or go against God due to offense or unforgiveness. I know you want to give up on them, but continue to see them through the eyes of faith! They’re really depending on you to see them through those eyes. If I was there, I’d want someone to see me through those eyes! I’d want someone to fight for me and my relationship with God. I know you would want to, too!
I love being a fighter in this area! I know of people in my life personally who have been hurt and bruised relationally. But then I have recently been aware of people that I don’t know personally who are going through heartbreak and pain and who are crying out to God for some relief from their grief! There was a time when I went on Youtube and learned of a person in this situation; I remember interceding for her and crying rivers for her – I didn’t even know her! I felt what she felt in spirit though. The enemy has messed with so many people, I have a cause now!
There’s no stopping me!!! When I leave this earth – I’m going to leave fighting! If I exit a relationship that I know that God has placed into my life – I’m leaving with a fight! I’m going to do some major damage to the kingdom of darnkess in this area of relationships! He is not going to win! He is going DOWN!!! He will loose! He will concede – he’s not going to win! I had enough!
