Confidence in Battle

Spiritual battles come in many different forms and for multiple reasons. You always know when you are under attack but you may not necessarily understand why at first or most times until the end. The bible does state however, that understanding shall come to those who seek God. God is always strengthening and preparing His people to better serve for His kingdom. When heaven is moving, the kingdom of darkness immediately tries to scream louder to distract us from what God is getting to us or doing in us. Hence, a spiritual battle.

There is a confidence in God that can be developed while going through any spiritual battle that comes. 1 John 3:21 assures us that we can have confidence toward God, when our heart does not condemn us. Condemnation is from the enemy, the devil and it comes when we have missed the mark, or sinned and it hinders our confidence in God because we are constantly being reminded of what we did by the accuser of the brethren. On the other hand, when the attack that we are experiencing is a result of us seeking God’s face to do His will as well as to be changed to fulfill all that He has for us and have repented of our sins this is when we can be confident that God will see us through to victory.

In addition to a repented heart and seeking God’s face, demonstrating the love of Christ to all individuals, especially those who are being used to directly attack us is an absolute must. Love covers a multitude of sins, even our own. We have to be completely dependent upon God’s power, wisdom and ability in us and face every situation with all humility in mind. When we are high minded (self confident), God cannot be glorified and we will lose. Asking God fervently for a perfect heart so that our motives and intentions are always pure (which will help us from stumbling) is always pleasing in God’s sight, for God searches and tries the heart of man. In essence, obedience to the Word and voice of God and trusting Him throughout the battle is the ultimate key to success in every battle. It is then that we can walk away from the victory rejoicing because we were counted worthy to suffer shame for Jesus’ name. (Acts 5:41)
