Fight!

Nehemiah 4:14
 When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and 

the rest of the people:  "Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and 

awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your 

houses." 

1.  “Don’t be afraid…” Romans 8:31 says, “If God is for us, who can be against 

us?”  And Psalm 91 talks of divine protection.  It is a passage I go to often.  (Actually I 

memorized this psalm and recommend it highly!)  He said that He would never leave or 

forsake us.  The Message Bible talks about Him having a firm grip on you.  Sometimes 

we may feel like we are going under, but He won’t let us drown.  We don’t have to be 

afraid.  We can trust Him! 

2. “Remember the Lord…”  Is there anything too difficult for Him?  He can do the 

impossible in our lives.  He calms the storm and watches over the sparrow.  He cares 

about the big things and the littlest details of your life.  His promises are for each of us.  

He is more faithful than any human and wants to see you through. 

3.  “Fight…” Notice it says “for” and not “with”.  God has given us authority.  Let’s 

not just sit down and watch the enemy create havoc in our homes!  Let’s be determined 

to fight! 

FIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY AND OTHERS:  People are worth fighting for!  Your 

family is worth fighting for!  Most of us will not be fighting literal battles but there is a 

fight just the same.  The world tries to steal the abundant life and wonderful 

relationships that God has provided.  Don't stand back and watch and allow this to 

happen!  Your faith can make a difference!  Tell the devil that he can't have your spouse 

(or whomever)!  

YOUR family is worth fighting for!  Your spouse needs to know that you are 

standing with him.  Your children need to know that mom prays diligently for them and 

is willing to fight spiritual battles for them. This creates security! 

What a huge responsibility you have.  Your life matters!  If we rise up and act on 

the Word of God we become powerful beings.  After all…we have a powerful God living 

on the inside of us! 

Do you “feel” weak and wimpy? I totally understand!  It’s not about how we feel.  

It’s about who we are.  You are a force to be reckoned with and the devil knows it!  Do 

you?
