dili na sya malikayan brod...we faint, we feel weak and weary. That's normal coz we are mortal beings, but think of the things eternal.
Jesus promised to those who do to come unto him and he will give thee rest.
Matthew 11
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
What we need is the Spirit of God to fill us up coz the fight that we are fighting is something spiritual, not physical.
Ephesians 6:12
King James Version (KJV)
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Its true, lisud kayo pag overcome especially if we set our eyes on the things of this world...ma shaken jud atong faith. But know brod, once you have the Spirit in you, nothing can moved your conviction and faith in God, it may sound unbelievable but its very, very true.
Romans 8:38-39
New International Version (NIV)
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
To experience the power of God in our life, we should draw ourselves closer to Him....that's the key.
James 4:8
New King James Version (NKJV)
8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify yourhearts, you double-minded.
Stand firm in the Lord. God bless brod!
