You will never see a world-champion fighter run at his opponent blindly with arms flailing, hoping to land a punch. ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿผ

No, a champion fighter knows his opponent. 

He has studied his opponentโ€™s moves closely and knows exactly how he must fight in order to defeat his opponent and defend his title.๐Ÿฅ‡

When the fighter steps into the ring, he gets into an intimidating fighting stance and begins to place intentional, well-aimed and effective blows on his opponent. ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿผ

He does this repeatedly, for however long it takes, until the match is over. ๐Ÿ†

We are in the fight of faith, and 1 Corinthians 9:26 tells us that we DO NOT fight as one beating the air. ๐Ÿ’จ

We do not fight the good fight of faith blindly with flailing arms, throwing aimless punches and hoping something hits. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Instead, we take our stance boldly in front of our opponent – whether itโ€™s sickness, lack, relationship problems, depression or anxiety, or anything thatโ€™s trying to steal our โ€œtitleโ€- and make intentional, well-aimed and effective โ€œblowsโ€. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผ

๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿผ We remind our adversary that he IS defeated and that he cannot touch us – and place a well-aimed blow (Lk 10:19)

๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿผ We use the name of Jesus and command that โ€œkneeโ€ to bow – and place a well-aimed blow. (Phil 2:10) 

๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿผ We speak to the situation (mountain) and command it to move – and place a well-aimed blow. (Mt 17:20)

๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿผ We declare the promises of God and call things that be not as though they WERE (body, you ARE healed, I HAVE peace and not anxiety, I HAVE abundance and no lack) – and place a well-aimed blow. (Rom 4:17)

๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿผ We cast down every lie and suggestion from the enemy and replace it with the Word – and place a well-aimed blow. (2 Cor 10:5)

๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿผ We praise God that we already have the victory and that we are triumphant overcomers – and place a well-aimed blow. (2 Cor 2:14)

We use precise, intentional, well-aimed, and CONSISTENT strategy to hit our adversary hard and keep him in his place – totally and utterly defeated. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฅ‡โ˜๐Ÿผ#faithtalks
