Fight to Look

Pain or difficult and frustrating circumstances can blind you to The Reason and all the blessings and opportunities, the reasons, God has given you to Fight. Life trials are something we all know well whether inflicted by circumstances outside of our control, by others or by ourselves. Hurt can destroy you and others if you let it. Hurt people, hurt people. Maybe you're finding yourself in the middle of really difficult circumstance right now. My heart is heavy for you but, guess what, it's not broken!

You're not defeated. You're not alone. And you might not know it yet, but with His strength, His Word, and a body of believers who love you, you're going to make it through it. You have The Reason and many reasons to Fight in God's story. 

You have a 365fight story to live and tell and a Reason to SHOUT OUT your Battle Cry: 

FIGHT BROTHER. FIGHT SISTER.

You Can Take Back Your Story! But you have to FIGHT for it. You have to Seek it. You have to LOOK.

You need to belong to a community that knows what it means to rest in God’s grace and extend it just as freely. SEEK. THEM. OUT.

LOOK IN

Look inward at yourself and say apart from Christ, I have nothing and I can do nothing. BUT, with Him I have everything and can do everything. In Him, I have a calling, a purpose, The Reason, and many reasons to Fight!

LOOK OUT

Look out at people around you and say there is a world, God created, in need of a hero to redeem, restore and give them hope. They need The Reason, I need The Reason, which is Christ as their hero. I am not the hero, it’s not about me. But, I am the warrior who will go where you send me and Fight!

LOOK UP

Look up at the God of the universe and DECLARE out loud, I was made On Purpose. For Purpose. With Purpose. In Him, I have a supernatural strength and power that is greater than His enemy, MY enemy, the Devil, has at his disposal. I was intentionally designed to Fight with Purpose, For Purpose and On Purpose.

LOOK AROUND

Look at the people around you who can speak truth into your lives. Who will encourage, equip and Fight for you and with you. Who will help you understand God's Word and Calling and remind you to not give up. Find Warriors who will remind you God has given you The Reason and many reasons to Fight every day.

The Key Is Community.

The key to continually Fighting Spiritual Suicide is COMMUNITY. We are called to be in community. To surround ourselves with Godly relationships to worship with us, help us understand God's Word, and Fight the Good Fight along side us and for us. We are called to be in relationships with like-minded believers, who are continually discovering, remembering and seeking The Reason and their reasons God has blessed them with to Fight for. A community who will fight for you when you can’t fight for yourself, encourage you to keep Fighting through the ups and downs, remind you why you are Fighting and you aren’t Fighting alone.

Seek friends and mentors who won’t judge you for your mistakes and disqualify you from Fighting alongside them or serving when you’re struggling. Find a community that is striving to consistently lead and live by example by Fighting the daily battles in their own lives with integrity and purpose and remembering The Reason and their reasons to Fight. A community that is prepared to EXPLAIN & DEFEND The Reason to Fight.
