Are You Already Defeated?
When we are going into a life battle or just on a fencing strip, we have to have a single focused mind, with the attitude that we will be victorious. If not, we are already defeated! We have to have confidence in our training and the skills that we have acquired. No matter our level of training or what our thoughts are about our skill: Stay focused!
… a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
James 1:8 ESV
When you’re stepping onto the fencing strip also stay focused! Your focus should not be on your training, your skill level, or even your opponent. You need to focus only on your next two to three actions to obtain your touch (point). Slowly, touch by touch you will obtain the victory.
Spiritually, we do not fight for victory, but from a place of victory. We have to know that Jesus has already won every battle. If we are in Him and He in us, we are already victorious. We just have to apply His weapons and training and step-by-step we will win!
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26 NIV
Application
- Identify your battle?
- What are your next two to three steps that God is wanting you to focus on in that battle?
- How do you execute those steps?
- Always know that Jesus is in the battle with you, and He has the victory!
