How To Fight Back When You Lose Spiritual Strength?

Do you understand your feelings? This is not a trick question. Humans remain conflicted inside, without Jesus. The flesh is fighting the spirit every moment of each day.

There is a war going on in you as you read this note. This war cannot be fought with earthly weapons. We need spiritual bazookas.

Four reasons we drain spiritually in our daily walk;

1. Adversity / Proverbs 24:10/ If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

2. Lingering Sin / Psalms 31:10 / For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

3. Sadness / Proverbs 15:13/ A heart full of joy and goodness makes a cheerful face, But when a heart is full of sadness the spirit is crushed.

4. Sickness / Job 18:12/ makes us weak, and so we get spiritually weak sometimes. His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.

What’s the difference between believers and non believers during these times of trouble? We fight back by faith.

How to fight back when you lose spiritual strength?

1. Praise (Psalms 22:3/ 119:162/ 84:4)
2. Holy Spirit filled prayer life (Psalms 103:5-Luke 11:13)
3. Word of God (1 John 2:14) (Psalms 119:9)

These three weapons are most powerful because God fights for us. We need to learn to wait on the Lord in prayer and meditation of His Holy Word to receive victory. This is the only true way to fight back when you lose spiritual strength.

God called us to be cheerful givers. To be cheerful for God, we need the joy of the lord. The joy of the lord is the best feeling any human being can ever have. David prayed for the restoration of his joy. He died perfect in God’s sight.

Let our feelings be sanctified by His word daily. Jesus is coming soon. Maranatha, Praise God and amen!
