Stay Out Of The Ring!
This is for many who the enemy is beating up on with this statement, "You failed again. God is through with you." That is his knock-out punch. Many of God's saints have given up because they stepped into the boxing ring thinking they had to fight for their victory over sin, sickness and the devil. It was a fight that was never intended for them. Jesus totally defeated satan at the cross and handed us the victor's crown.
No wonder we are more than conquerors through Christ because we weren't even around when that happened. Now the enemy wants us to fight him and get in his ring to make us think we need to do something to earn God's grace and our victory. What a lying devil he is. The only fight the Lord tells us to do is, fight the good fight of faith by simply believing what Jesus has already accomplished for us, period. It's a good fight, because He's
already won it for us. So, stay out of the ring! The bell has rung, your fight is over.
"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57 (KJV)
"Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies, who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died, more than that, who was raised to life, is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us." Romans 8:31-34 (NIV)
If Boxing Gloves Could Talk...
* Sometimes a bloody face and wounded body means you won. You're still here!
* A saint once said, "It's not that I never fall, but I get up quick."
* I've convinced the enemy would rather wound us to live a lifetime of suffering than kill us outright. Jesus, heal us.
