Training Season

Train Yourself to Be Godly

The enemy doesn’t fight fair. He is after us. Through distractions, he tries to move us away from our purpose and calling.

He uses our bodies to keep us hostage in pain and discomfort. He exploits our humanity—our emotions, feelings, actions, and reactions. He will go to any length to get his way.

But God—He has us. He is teaching us how to fight in the Spirit, seated in heavenly places with Christ. We take our fight to the third Heaven.

For the Word says, “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms.” Our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces, and “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God.”

We carry within us the Word of God, which is a double-edged sword—penetrating the darkest and most hidden places of our being. It breaks down strongholds, false ideologies, and man-made traditions.

So, my friends, don’t lose faith. Outwardly we may be suffering, but inwardly we are being renewed and made strong. Do you really think it’s a coincidence that the enemy is attacking our muscles and nerves? We’ve struck a nerve in his camp, and now he’s angry. He’s coming after us.

Take  your stand. Be bold. Use what God has given you. Raise your war cry. Lift your hands and worship in the storm. Raise a hallelujah. Continue praying in the Spirit. Embrace your position in Christ.

Ask God what fruit of the Spirit He is developing in you. Mastered and used with precision.

Laugh at the enemy—for the joy of the Lord is your strength, and God Himself laughs at the enemy. God will use everything for His purpose. He will recycle your pain, sorrows, and discomfort for His glory.

This is training ground. This is our boot camp. Be ready. Hold your position, stand your groun, Keep the faith.

What is breaking you is also making you strong.

Love you,
