Become a lover, not a fighter

Today’s blog post is contributed by David Trotta:

“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.” (Isaiah 12:2)

Have you been struggling with an area of sin in your life and praying for a long time for God to give you a breakthrough?

You’ve cursed that sin more times than you can count.  You’ve fasted, prayed, and asked others to pray.  You’ve quoted scripture.  You’ve tried everything to defeat that sin once and for all, but nothing has worked.

Well, here’s my advice to you - stop fighting already!

Instead of focusing on fighting, focus on loving.

There’s only one sure fire way to have victory over sin in your life.  And that’s to fall more in love with Jesus.  Stop focusing on your sin, and instead, focus on loving Jesus.

The larger Jesus becomes in your life the smaller your sin becomes.  The more you fall in love with Jesus, the more you will fall out of love with your sin.

The more you begin to enjoy fellowship with Jesus, the less enjoyable sin will become.

Instead of praying for a breakthrough, pray for a greater revelation of God’s love.

Learn to become a lover, not a fighter.
