In several texts of the Bible we see God positioning himself as a faithful God and guaranteeing that his promises can never be prevented from being fulfilled, both the promises of blessings for the faithful and the promises of curses for the unfaithful.

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

We know that at different times in our lives we will go through difficult situations, where we will have to enter into a spiritual battle against our enemy and sometimes against our own feelings, to prove the size of our faith to ourselves, because God knows the size of our faith. our faith.

Sometimes people don't win their struggles because they get caught up in their own feelings, they weaken in the fight and even though they believe that God exists, they don't have enough faith or spiritual strength to determine the power of the Word of God over their own lives to achieve victories.

This situation once happened to the people of Israel, when the giant Goliath blasphemed against God and mocked and affronted the people of Israel, saying that there was no man there who could defeat him.

1 Samuel 17:10 Then the Philistine said, This day I defy the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.

The entire people of Israel were terrified and had NO FAITH to face a giant about 3 meters tall, which in natural eyes was unbeatable, but for God was something insignificant.

1 Samuel 17:11 On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.

David did not conform to the people's attitude and acted differently, readying himself to fight in favor of Israel.

It was when he said words to the giant Goliath, which in themselves already determined his victory:

I COME AGAINST YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OF HOSTS.

1 Samuel 17:45 Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

Do not give up in your struggles, FIGHT WITH FAITH, believe in the power of God.

In your struggle, do not be discouraged, rather seek God more and more, because HE IS YOUR VICTORY.

Declare, WITH FAITH, and not just “as a parrot does”, that your redeemer lives and He will help you.

Because the truth is that He will always help you, if you seek Him and cry out, His answer is certain.

Jeremiah 29:
12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
14 I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
