So many times in this life we can be so strong and then all of a sudden, without ever noticing it we realize we have lost our fight. We may be so passionate about our relationship with Jesus, passionate about fighting for what we believe, for our loved ones, and then, boom, the passion is gone. The fight is no longer in us. Then slowly we realize we have given up. Can you relate?

Seems like the devil has put just a drop of poison in our coffee every morning, just a little, enough that we can’t taste it and before you know it, it’s spiritually killing you. Just a drop a day can kill us and we never know what hit us..

I have had this happen to me. I have been through some struggles in my lifetime. I was strong and then all of a sudden, it felt like I didn’t even care. Tired of fighting. It just felt like Jesus wasn’t listening. Like He didn’t care.

Do you realize the Holy Spirit lives in us? Do you realize He gets hungry? When we start to feel like we have no fight, no fire, that is when it’s time to ask our self, am I drinking the poison that the enemy has put in my coffee every day? Do I feel weaker and weaker daily? Am I feeding the Holy Spirit that lives in me or am I feeding the enemy that wants to kill me?

Let me explain, what does my heart go out to? What do I believe? What do I tell myself, what do I feed my mind, and heart?

You know what we say to ourselves we believe, even if its’s not true, we still believe what we tell ourselves.

When I start to feel this way, I check myself, am I in prayer daily? Am I listening to my praise and worship daily? Am I reading my word? I know sometimes it’s hard to get in the mode to do these things but if you can make yourself, you can over come all the storms in your life. You will begin to feel the passion you felt when you first came to know Jesus. You might say,” but I have fought and fought and feel like nothing is happening. Nothings changing.” Well let me say this, keep fighting, you never know when it will change, say this out loud, “things are changing, I am strong, I am a desperate woman/man and I will never give up. Nothing can stop me. Jesus lives in me through the Holy Spirit.” These words are feeding the Holy Spirit that is living in you. If you say out loud every day positive things then you will begin to believe them. When you start to believe them, that’s when things will change.

Sounds crazy but that is how it works.

Now put your hand on your head and say, “I speak life to my mind right now in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I speak hope in Jesus Name. I cast all my cares on Him because He cares for me.”

You may be praying for a loved one, finances, change in a life situation, maybe you have lost someone to death or divorce. This is not the end. Make it a new beginning, you can do it.

Oh, you may say, but you don’t know how it feels” and I would say really? I lost my son to death, my mom to death, my dad to death, several others, I have had mental illness in someone I adore and I watch them struggle with all they have to get back to where they can live a normal life. I have lovedones caught up in addiction and loved ones with health issues. My youngest son had a brain aneurism and had emergency surgery, I at one time moved from my home state to another not knowing anyone, missing my family. I really think I can relate. I am not trying to say poor me, or look at me how strong I am, quite the opposite, look how blessed I am to have overcome so much through Jesus Christ. I could not overcome anything without Jesus. He is the reason I have overcome addiction, and crazy living, I have inner healing. Was it easy? No, it was not always easy but I have not lost the fight in me. If nothing else I am stronger because of all these things. Sooo, you can do it. I know you can for a fact. You just have to put your “want to” in action. That is what IHHM is all about. Helping others overcome. Let’s kick the devil’s butt and have victory over him. Are you excited? You should be, because nothing you can think of is too hard for Jesus to fix. Halleluiah, Jesus is Lord over all.

Let’s get that fight back and win!!
