Faith Through Struggles

Because we have the Holy Spirit in us, we must be aware of anything that stands against God—and fight to remove it. Pursuing holiness isn’t about perfection; it’s about surrender. The enemy doesn’t play fair, but God is stronger. His promises should fuel our desire to be clean in body, mind, and spirit. We have all we need through His power to start pursuing holiness today.

True strength begins in surrender. James 4:7–10 calls us to humble ourselves, resist the enemy, and draw near to God. This blog unpacks the powerful list hidden in these verses—humility, resistance, closeness, purity, and loyalty—and reminds us that prayer isn’t just connection, it’s our greatest weapon.

When life gets heavy and the enemy sets traps to steal your joy, look up. Your Heavenly Father is reaching out with love, ready to lift you from the pit. Whether you're falling or already flat on your back, He’s still there—offering restoration, hope, and grace. Let a spirit of thankfulness transform how you see the world, because even in trials, you are held, loved, and never forgotten.

Facing an attacking enemy is frightening. But God. David didn’t pretend he wasn’t afraid—he trusted. God kept his feet steady, and he didn’t trip. I pray this encourages you to live boldly, trust deeply, and obey without hesitation. If you trust in God… why would you be afraid?”

The enemy is hitting hard—physically, mentally, and spiritually—especially against my wife. As her husband, I want to punch Satan in the face. But this is spiritual warfare, and Romans 12:12 reminds me to rejoice in our confident hope, be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. I can’t fix everything, but I know God is at work, even in what I can’t understand. So I pray, trust, and hold on to hope.

God knows our limits—we do not. He knows what we can handle emotionally—we do not. Giving Him your worries should be a daily occurrence. But like children, we hand it over... then try to take it back. Armor up daily. Let go—and let Him carry the rest.

Even in my failure, God meets me with open arms. He never expected me to do this life alone—that’s why He gave us His Spirit. Though I fall short, I’m never out of reach. God’s forgiveness doesn’t walk away; it restores, corrects, and loves me through the mess.

Even in the face of death, Paul found joy through unwavering faith in God’s promises. His life, poured out like an offering, reminds us that true hope begins with trusting in the victory over death through Christ.

When life feels impossible, remember this: we serve the God of the impossible. Just as He gave Daniel divine insight and Elijah supernatural strength, He still moves in power today. Don’t limit Him to what makes sense in your mind—His ways go far beyond. This blog reminds us to trust the God who still performs miracles.
