Three truths found in our battles:
Truth #1: Christians fight from a place of victory, not just for a victory!

God is a God of victory before the battle begins.

You are but a poor soldier of Christ if you think you can overcome without fighting, and suppose you can have the crown without the conflict.
-Warren Wiersbe

When we accept God’s plan, we invite God’s presence, and that guarantees victory.
-Warren Wiersbe

It is time to step into the place of victory and stop living in the valley of the victim.

…The church is so much like the world that the world takes little notice of what we do. We imitate the world’s methods; we cater to the world’s appetites; we solicit the world’s approval; and we measure what we do according to the world’s standards. Is it any wonder that we don’t gain the world’s respect?
- Warren Wiersbe

Truth #2: Christians fight from a place of faith, not mere hope!

No situation is too great for the Lord to handle, and no problem is too much for Him to solve.
- Warren Wiersbe

Truth #3: Christians fight from a place of obedience, not mere
understanding!

God wants to do something new that may require that we do things differently than we have done before.

If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.
- Thomas Jefferson
