Fighting The Good Fight

by lareina morgan  
3/24/2017 / Christian Living


I have to admit that I like watching superhero shows, because I find that I can relate to the hero arc, the story about the ordinary person who has super powers or super abilities thrust upon them, and they choose to do something positive with them. It makes their lives crazy and complicated, but there is a sense of satisfaction at the end of the day, wnen they beat the villian, or save someone's life, or the bad situation is solved by what they can do. Now that's a job that I can sink my teeth into.



I am glad that most superhero stories are written well, in that heroes always seem to find themselves in sticky situations. When they do something right it seems like it always backfires on them in some way, but they can never use that as an excuse to stop doing what they know is right. We as christians often find ourselves in sticky situations, where the answer to the problem we are facing is not the one we want, because it would mean having to deal with the consequences. Everyone always dreams of being a hero and saving the day, but the everyday struggles of doing what is right all the time shows up our weaknesses, and often puts us in the spotlight, when we would rather just go home and let someone else save the day.



As christians living in a world where good is being judged as a bad thing, and bad things are being celebrated as good, the pressure to conform to what the world wants to do has become tremendous, and so I know that at times I wish I could solve a few problems with a little 'super power', and actually I am happy to say that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
(Phillipians 4:13)



We must learn to fight the good fight with the power and leadership of the Holy Spirit, who will keep us and protects us from the issues of life. His guidance and love transcends our weaknesses, and gives us the strength to live, to grow, and to love. We learn how to fight through Jesus Christ, by being selfless and humble, by allowing His love to be expressed in everything that we do. We often want to do things our own way, but our way is often not the best way, and we need to rely on the wisdom and the power of the word of God.


We are the ones who have the power of God on our side, but we must act with wisdom, kindness, and patience. We must allow the Lord to work through us and into our situation, so that the world can see how better it is to live in Him and love with Him. That also means that doing the right thing may put us in circumstances where other people will not understand what we are doing and why we are doing it, and we could get hurt by other peoples' words and deeds. The good news is that my sweet Jesus will be there with us, helping us, providing for us, and protecting us, and the Comforter, The Holy Spirit, will heal our wounds.



Give your whole heart to Him, allow the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts and feelings, and learn how to forgive other people when they fail to love you or accept you, because if they don't have the Lord in their lives, they can only relate to you like an ordinary human being; they don't have the Lord's 'super' influence and love to tap into, to make their ordinary lives into extra ordinary ones.

Seek peace for the people in your lives, in your neighborhoods, for the world, and let the light of God shine forth from your heats, for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, died on the cross to seek and to save as many as will accept his offer of grace, love and salvation. He is my personal favorite superhero, and I am awed by the depth of His passion and love for me and for you. He makes the ordinary extraordinary, and there is no power on earth or in the universe that can defeat Him.



Seek His guidance first in your lives, allow Him to fight your battles, and then when everything is said and done, you can praise Him for the victory, and go home satisfied that the villian, the devil, was defeated, that the Lord saved you, and that bad situation that you found yourself in was resolved.



Thank You Jesus, I've Got The Victory!
