ALLOW GOD TO FIGHT YOUR BATTLES

I have come up against some formidable enemies in my life (and one of the greatest, at times, can be me....), but I have always asked God to fight them for me and I have had an interesting track record at it. When God is allowed to fight them - and my life is consecrated to serving Him and His purposes - I always come out the victor. Its not one of those faith without works kind of situations where I sit back and do nothing. I have to fight the good fight - mostly in keeping myself worthy of His choicest blessings and so that when I ask Him to weigh me and my "enemy" in the balance, I will come out justified in having my petition heard while the other petition (or justification) does not balance out.

God simply supports those who support Him. Those who are indifferent, He will not justify and support in their times of need. Being perfectly just, he cannot do it.

Here is a scripture that illustrates the point:

10 That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience, and know more perfectly concerning their duty, and the things which I require at their hands.

11 And this cannot be brought to pass until mine elders are endowed with power from on high.

12 For behold, I have prepared a great endowment and blessing to be poured out upon them, inasmuch as they are faithful and continue in humility before me.

13 Therefore it is expedient in me that mine elders should wait for a little season, for the redemption of Zion.

14 For behold, I do not require at their hands to fight the battles of Zion; for, as I said in a former commandment, even so will I fulfil—I will fight your battles.

15 Behold, the destroyer I have sent forth to destroy and lay waste mine enemies; and not many years hence they shall not be left to pollute mine heritage, and to blaspheme my name upon the lands which I have consecrated for the gathering together of my saints.
