[to the ones who have decided to fight the good fight]

ROUND 12–12th month.

You may not have noticed but a wave of discouragement has been tossing you to and fro this week, and is devastating your day.

Perhaps you’re torn between the onslaught of this year and the uncertainty of the next. And being in this place of the in-between has rendered you carrying a weight that is inexplicable. Slowly crushing you on the inside and leaving you pinned down, unable to get back up.

Beloved, please know that there is STRENGTH PROVIDED FOR YOU TODAY. To remind you that you still have a fight left in you. For God the Holy Spirit is within you. And the Lord Jesus Christ is interceding for you so you can live this day defying your flesh, sin, and the fallenness of this world.

You can stand up today, look up and see that the banner raised above you is not your own personal banner with your achievements, accomplishments, or failures.

BUT the banner raised above you is the Banner of Christ- the Banner of Him who came and has overcome the world.

So let us strengthen ourselves once again in the LORD and fight the good fight of faith — for His honor and for His glory.

May the Lord’s blessings be with you and your family.
