ALWAYS KEEP FIGHTING
NEVER GIVE UP
Part-3
My brothers and sisters, today, Jesus is calling you by your name. I am talking to you “Get up, my Son. “Get up, my daughter” Why do you have such little faith? All I ask you is to have faith of at least a mustard seed. And you can move mountains. Why do you doubt?
Are you trying to tell Satan that your Father is a loser? Is he greater than me? Why do you grieve me? Why do you limit my powers?
Are you trying to tell me that my death on the cross has been in vain? The stripes on my back, when I was crowned with thorns, when nails were pierced into my hands and legs, when they pierced my side.
Has it all been in vain? Was my suffering in vain?
Did you go through as much as I did? Whenever you think your circumstances or sufferings are more significant. Remind yourself of my suffering. You will see your suffering was nothing compared to mine. Can you go through what I went through? “Get up, my children.” When I did not give up when I had a choice, why are You giving up?
I have defeated Satan. I have overcome death. I have overcome the world.
Your circumstances that are in front of you are a myth. Do not listen to Satan, the father of Lies. Don’t put down your sword. I have given you power and authority over all things. Luke 10:19
My people are destroyed; they reject God’s knowledge and His law, leading to spiritual decay. Hosea 4:6

But seek first the kingdom of God, and is righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6: 33
David was anointed as king, yet before he ever sat on the throne, he spent years running for his life.
Saul, the very king he had served, sought to kill him. He lived in caves, lived among enemies and endured hardship after hardship.
But through every trial, he learned to depend on God. He learned to seek God’s voice, to trust in His protection and to wait for His timing.
When the throne finally became his, he was not just a man with a title. He was a man shaped by trials, prepared to lead with wisdom and strength.
The trials of life are not signs of God’s absence but evidence of His refining work.
Note: When the blacksmith works on a sword, he does not gently polish it. He places it into the fire, hammering and shaping it until it is strong and sharp. Without the fire, the sword remains weak, unfit for battle.
In the same way, believers are not called to an easy, struggle-free life. They are called to be warriors and to endure hardship like good soldiers of Christ.
The fire of trials does not destroy them. It purifies them, making them ready for the battles ahead.
Even Jesus, the son of God, was not exempt from trials. Before His ministry, He was led into the wilderness to be tested.
He fasted 40 days, faced the enemy’s temptations and resisted every attack. The wilderness was not a place of defeat but a place of preparation.
When He emerged, He walked in power, performing miracles, casting out demons and declaring the kingdom of God.
If the Son of God was tested, then every believer must understand that trials are a necessary part of the journey.
Paul the Great Apostle faced more trials than most could imagine. He was beaten, imprisoned, shipwrecked and persecuted at every turn.
Yet he never saw his trials as a reason to quit. He saw them as a reason to rejoice.
THE GOD WHO SEES YOU—ENCOURAGEMENT FROM SCRIPTURE
He declared that suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope.
Every trial he faced only made him stronger, only deepened his faith, sharpened his mission. He understood that trials were not obstacles but stepping stones to greater victories.
There is a purpose in every hardship. What seems like a setback is often a setup for something greater.
God does not waste pain, and He does not allow trials without reason. Every storm that comes is an opportunity to grow in faith, to develop perseverance, and to learn dependence on God.
The enemy would love for trials to break a person, to cause them to give up, to make them believe that God has abandoned them.
But those who endure, who press through the fire, who refuse to be shaken will see the hand of God move in ways they never imagine.
Trials do not mean that God has left. They mean that He is working. They’re not signs of defeat but of preparation.
Those who are willing to embrace the refining process, to trust God in the struggle, to hold on to faith even when everything seems dark, will emerge stronger, wiser and ready for the victories that lie ahead.
Every setback is a setup for a powerful comeback through God’s power. What seems like failure in the eyes of the world is often the very thing God uses to bring about the greatest victories.
Many people view wetbacks as the end of their journey as proof that they are not good enough, strong enough to fulfil their calling. But God does not see as man sees.
He takes what looks like defeat and turns it into a testimony. He takes the lowest moments and uses them as the foundation for something greater.
Joseph was thrown into a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery and wrongfully imprisoned. Every event seemed to take him further away from the dream God had given him.
In the natural, his life looked like was ruined, his future stolen, his purpose destroyed, but what appeared to be a setback was a setup. Every betrayal, every hardship, every moment of suffering was positioning him for his destiny.
Had he not been sold into slavery, he would never have ended up in Egypt. Had he not been imprisoned, he would not have met the man who would later introduce him to Pharaoh.
And he had not stood before Pharaoh, he would never have been elevated to a position of authority that saved an entire nation.
What the enemy meant for evil, God turned for good.
Moses had a calling on his life from Birth, chosen to deliver Israel from Egypt. Yet, after killing an Egyptian in an attempt to defend his people, he fled to the wilderness, living in obscurity for 40 years.
To the world, it looked like his life was a failure. He had been raised as a prince but now lived as a shepherd in exile.
But what seemed like a setback was only a reason for preparation in the wilderness. He learned humility, patience and dependence on God, and when the time was right, God called him from the burning bush, sending him back to Egypt not as a runaway but as a deliverer.
David was anointed as King while still a young shepherd. Yet, instead of immediately stepping into his destiny, he spent years running for his life from King Saul.
He hid in caves, was hunted like an animal and faced betrayal from those he trusted. It would have been easy to believe that the promise of kingship would never come to pass.
But the years of hardship were not wasted. They were shaping him into the leader he was meant to be.
When he finally ascended to the throne, he was not just a man with a crown. He was a warrior forged in the fire of adversity.
The greatest comeback in history was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. His crucifixion looked like the ultimate defeat.
The disciples scattered, the crowds mocked, and the enemy rejoiced. But what looked like the end was only the beginning.
On the third day, He rose again with all power and authority, proving that no setback, no betrayal, and no suffering could stop the plan of God.
The very thing that seemed like defeat became the victory that the world had ever seen. All of a sudden, a persecutor of Christians was struck down on the road to Damascus.
He lost his sight, his status and everything he once trusted in. But that moment of humbling was not his destruction. It was his transformation.
