Spiritual Battles—How to
Stand Strong in Your Faith
Life never stops throwing
challenges and obstacles our way; that is when our faith is tested. Some
challenges might not be your fault, but God plans to test you. You’re not alone
in this. Every believer goes through spiritual battles. These moments might
often try to pull us away from God’s light. Here, the question arises: how do
we stand firm in our faith when satan is constantly trying to direct us into
the darkness?
Chosen by Nicholas L. Maze is
the answer to all your questions. The book is filled with insights highlighting
how Christians are not chosen for worldly success but for the spiritual battle.
We are placed on the spiritual battlefield when we answer God's call. And the
good part is that success has already been written ahead.
This blog will discuss how we
can stand firm in our faith even when the enemy constantly distracts us.
Recognizing the Spiritual Battlefield
Firstly, you need to
understand that being chosen by God directly puts you on the spiritual
battlefield. Being chosen doesn’t just mean that you are showered with
blessings. You’re selected to face the challenges ahead of you. Maze explains that the devil has already planned his attack
before you even realize it. This is the only reason you experience doubt and
hardships once you take the spiritual path.
Understanding the Enemy’s Tactics
Humans have the incredible
capacity to fight all the challenges that block our roads. Similarly, they can
defeat their enemy, satan. All satan does is identify your weakness and
constantly hits it till the point you’re about to give up on your faith. He
uses all sorts of insecurities that ultimately pull you away from God.
Become the soldier of your
journey. Get prepared prior to the enemy’s attack and stay focused on God’s
truth.
Seeking Strength in God's Word
Before you enter the spiritual
battle, you must understand that God has your back. His words are the most
powerful. If we take a deeper look, the Bible is our spiritual sword—one that guarantees
you’ll win any battle ahead. By getting a better understanding of God’s Word,
we can find the light that guides us throughout. His Word teaches us that God’s
promises are made to protect us from storms coming our way.
Trusting the Process and God's Timing
The perfect example of
trusting the process and God’s timing is the time when the Israelites were the
slaves of Egypt. During the hardships, slavery seemed like a better option. The
challenges ahead seemed to be daunting and threatening. But this is human
nature. We always want to return to our comfort zone when things get out of
hand.
Spiritual growth is only
possible when you walk through the difficult path, but it prepares us for the
greater purposes God has planned for us.
Claiming Victory in Christ
One must remember that victory
is already written when going through hardships. If you’re chosen for this
battle, victory is chosen for you. Through Christ, we have already won. When
God protects you, the enemy’s attacks are nothing. Just stand tall in the
storms of life, knowing that God has already overcome the world and every
challenge.
Conclusion
Spiritual battles are unavoidable,
but they do not have to lead to defeat. We can stand firm in our faith by
recognizing the battlefield, understanding the enemy’s tactics, and maintaining
trust and prayer. Remember, you were not chosen to live an easy, unchallenged
life. You were chosen for the battle—and in Christ, you are already victorious.
