Fight vs. Giving up Focus
Hello, all faithful Royal Prayer Guards and all those who join us online!

Testimony and inspiration
When I was born again the Holy Spirit taught me to fight, stand on His word, and not give up!
There have been times when I feel like giving up, but the Bible says,
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7
If I go how I feel I cannot move forward. I have a choice every time I believe in God in any situation.
By faith!
By faith I desire my testimony here on earth and for eternity to be like these portions of God’s word. May this be an inspiration for everyone!
Hebrews 11:1-2 (NKJV)
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
1 Timothy 6:12 (NKJV)
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NKJV)
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
Philippians 3:13-14 (TEV)
13 Of course, my friends, I really do not think that I have already won it; the one thing I do, however, is to forget what is behind me and do my best to reach what is ahead. 14 So I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize, which is God's call through Christ Jesus to the life above.
1 Corinthians 9:27 (AMP)
But [like a boxer] I buffet my body [handle it roughly, discipline it by hardships] and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit [not stand the test, be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit].
Let us all as believers in Christ be approved and genuine. (Real, True, Legitimate)
Let us walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which we have been called.
Ephesians 4:1-3 (ESV)
1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
I know we can express our difficulties, but along with expressing those difficulties we can declare (Speak it out loud) God’s word and walk in the victory He has provided in Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:57-58 (NKJV)
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Psalm 112:7-8 (AMP)
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firmly fixed, trusting (leaning on and being confident) in the Lord. 8 His heart is established and steady, he will not be afraid while he waits to see his desire established upon his adversaries.
Psalm 112:7-8 (NIV)
7 He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. 8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
