The journey of faith is made of good moments
alone, on the contrary, it is a constant battle, not only against evil, but our
own will and desires as well.
Of course, just as in every battle, the
stronger triumphs.
Many that started off strong in the faith,
because they didn’t know how to keep it, today are bitter and in distress. They
threw it all away, their principles, their beliefs, their salvation,
ultimately, they abandoned what with much sacrifice they had conquered, the
presence of God.
And you may ask me, then how can I keep my
faith?
By not exposing it to things that might destroy it, just like we keep our valuables, we do not leave them exposed and of easy access to thieves.
To keep means: to care for, to protect, to
hide, to watch, to observe.
So I leave here 10 steps to keep your faith:
-
Take care
of your thoughts, don’t feed negative and bad thoughts
-
Keep your
eyes, don’t give room to evil by nursing bad eyes, don’t forget if your eyes
are good, all of your body will be light, if they are bad all of your body will
be in darkness
-
Flee from
evil, resist the devil and all of his suggestions that he may bring, say no to sin
-
Have communion
with God, that is where your strength will come to continue in the faith
-
Do not give
room to emotions, many people abandon their faith because of useless
sentimentality
-
Do not get
involved with people who attack your faith, influence you in a negative way,
put doubts within you and guide you to errors
-
Overcome
yourself, your will and your fleshly desires that displease God and weaken your
faith
-
Be strong
before your problems, if you show yourself weak your strength will be small and
your faith shaken
-
Avoid
useless conversations that are only good to contaminate your faith
-
Live in obedience
to the word of God, for it is the base of our faith.
Care for it with all of your strength, it is
the most precious thing you possess, without faith it is impossible to please
God, conquer His favors and even salvation.
Understand now why the devil does all he
possibly can so that you can stain or lose your faith?
The overcomers will be those who keep their
faith until the end, those will surely overcome the battle.
“I have fought the
good fight, I have finished the course, I
have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:7)

one important thing is that i cannot think i'm okay, strong enough and the devil can never touch me, no..i should learn how to fight because we are in a constant battle against hell and thank you for the above weapons.
Not too long ago, I was in a meeting where I was reminded that time is our worst enemy and that is absolutely true. It's with time that we can easily put our guard down, not be vigilant enough, leave faith aside and be led by emotions. It's a constant battle. These are good tips we should always keep in mind.
Thank you for always caring for our salvation, big hugs and kisses :-)
What caught my attention is that one cannot lose their salvation because of sentimentalit.
