Runners have to condition themselves to be able to go the distance. They not only exercise but they stay hydrated, motivated, flexible and focused. Without the continuous training of mind/body/spirit they would finish last or simply quit.
We would love to model ourselves after this practice in the Spirit, so we call ourselves Warriors, Overcomers, Conquerors, Victors, Soldiers or Fighters. In order to convince ourselves of our capabilities we proclaim victory before the battle. Never having truly conditioned our whole self or prepared for the test. Then while in the heat of the battle or even at its beginning, we fall.
How do you spiritually condition yourself for the guaranteed opposition? Well it’s never with a name tag. You have to back up what you claim. You will be confirmed by not just your breath. Also remember that The Most High is your judge, the adversary is only the tool to test you.
To prepare you have to be honest with yourself first. Then begin to allow Holy Spirit to teach you the truth and build on it. This is crucial and takes constant interaction with the Voice of God and much silence. You see when the truth of you is revealed there is no need for validation. When you hear the words of the Creator for yourself, the plan of action is laid. Now do it.
Your confidence and strength should be drawn from the words of I AM! Because it shall be done. And there is nothing or no one that can stop it. You become an element like fire, water, wind or earth. It is finished.
So run well, with purpose and to finish the race!
