In this post, we’re taking a closer look at the struggle between faith and the devil’s temptations—and how we can rely on God’s strength when we’re feeling weak. We’ll talk about why obedience to Christ matters, the impact of sin, and the importance of repentance. Most of all, it’s a call to keep fighting for your faith, surrender to God’s will, and discover the victory that’s already ours in Christ.
Many leave Christianity due to challenges, seeking alternative lifestyles instead of embracing transformation through faith. God has a purpose for everyone, encouraging daily self-denial and reliance on His strength. Rebuilding faith involves prayer, scripture reading, joining supportive ministries, and allowing struggles to deepen one’s relationship with God rather than define it.
Every battle, big or small, holds value and significance, even if it seems less important compared to others’ struggles. Individual experiences of hardship vary in impact, and everyone’s battles are legitimate. Jesus’ compassion for both a dying girl and a suffering woman exemplifies the importance of recognizing each other’s struggles and resilience.
This blog post emphasizes the importance of steadfast faith amid societal pressures, as many believers are drifting away from biblical truths in these challenging times. I urge Christians to remain committed to their faith and resist turning back, highlighting that true discipleship entails holding firm to God’s Word and continuing to stand for Christ despite cultural opposition.

If we read 1 Samuel 15, we see where God gave Saul specific instructions. To go and smite Amalek and destroy all that they had. However, Saul decided to do what he wanted to do. He saved the king and other animals. Time after time, God instructed Saul to do something, and he rehearsed the […]
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Trusting in the Lord is never easy. So many distractions and issues arise in our lives that give us every reason to doubt God and […]

“43A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding, and she could find no cure. 44Coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped. 45“Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you.” 46But Jesus said, “Someone deliberately touched me, […]
“The LORD had said to Abram, ‘Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you.’” – Genesis 12:1 (NLT) How many of us can honestly say that if God told us to move to a different island or country, we would? Truthfully, many of us […]
