Fighting a Good Fight
To fight a good fight, we must commit to strict training. We receive our training from the very words of God. Those of us who are in physical training and spiritual training must keep ourselves pure. We will not be pure until we are mastered by Christ and no longer mastered by our sin. We must take every thought captive for Christ and turn from our sin.If you trust Christ, you will finish your race.

Speak to the mountain
Summary: Our words are what we use to attack the enemy. When we say what God says to our enemies, it’s like shooting bullets at them. When we talk the problem, it’s like throwing cookies at them. Our words are the bullet, our mouth is the gun, but love is the firing pin. We have got to get God’s word in our mouth and fire at the enemy that’s standing in our way. We have to speak to the mountain. Don’t ask God to do anything about it, stop crying about it. Stop talking about how big it is, stop telling everyone you meet that will listen to you how big it is, and speak to it. Command it to go!
