Daily Living with Kong Hee Winning Life’s Spiritual Battles Spiritual warfare is a part of life. The enemy would love nothing more than to discourage you and render you inoperative for the kingdom. But if you’re going to win the spiritual battle against discouragement, you have to learn the power of self-encouragement. And harnessing that power begins with strengthening yourself by remembering who you are in Christ. As we read about David in the Old Testament, we learn how he went through times of severe discouragement. But here’s what he did: he “strengthened himself in the LORD his God” (1 Sam. 30:6). He reaffirmed his relationship with God, which gave him the strength to overcome spiritual discouragement. If you want to experience encouragement like never before, you have to learn to strengthen yourself in the Lord! How do you do that? You need to speak the Word of God by faith to yourself and to your situation when you feel discouraged. When your enemies come against you, you say, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper” (Is. 54:17). And when you go through difficult times financially, you confess, “My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19). When bad things happen—when spiritual discouragement rears its ugly head and tries to bring you down—remember the Word of God! Speak it over your life and live by it. Then you will receive strength from God to win the spiritual battles of life. Prayer for the day: Father, strengthen me to be victorious against spiritual discouragement. I ask You to place Your word on my heart so that Ill be able to speak it over my life and every difficult situation I face.
