Agape Love Works

Grace and Peace to all who read this,

First of all, I want to thank you all for your prayers and support. Your intercession has meant so much and it has helped me grow spiritually and stay focused on being a vessel to let the Lord do what He wants through us.

Secondly, I am compelled to write about how to ask the Lord to fight for you.

When you are choosing a righteous life, you will undergo a series of tests.
If you are growing spiritually, the Lord will prepare you for the tests through His Word. Similar to the physical realm- you go to school and read about a subject and then you are tested on it.

Now, our testings come in our day to day life, particularly with our interactions with others. It easy to be holy and righteous when you are alone in solitude, but when you are in society, in the workplace, at school, etc. this is where you will be stretched to mature and the testing process really begins.

How do you pass each test? When adversity comes, how can you ask the Lord to fight for you while you hold your peace?

Here are some basics that I have found. In Part 2, I will give Biblical scenarios to the following in a week or so (I am currently pressed for time). Here goes:

1. Submit your life to the Lord and His Will
2. If you have any sin/trangressions, repent and ask the Lord to help you
overcome them.
3. Read His Word and pray... then ACT on it... do what it says
4. When faced with adversity, ask the Lord to fight for you as you hold your peace. (see Exodus 14:14)

Continue to operate by the Fruits of the Spirit to others and you will see the Lord fight on your behalf. This works. Remember, to do your part after the above 4 steps by operating in the Fruits of the Spirit. (see Galatians 5:22-23). Do not speak ill of others. Bless them and forgive them. Find ways to love them when they rise against you. If you try to retaliate in your own strength and in the flesh you will lose your peace and righteousness. Hold your tongue against them and you will hold your peace.

Remember, whatever we reap, we shall sow. If you speak ill of others, they will speak ill of you. Bless others, and they will bless you. Love others and they will love you.

I pray you are growing in your spiritual journey as well and I speak a soft heart and ears that hear so this seed will bear fruit in your life.

Til next time,
Sis K.D.
