I have a friend who is a two-time Olympic boxer. He has been going through some hard times. It is amazing to see how he can withstand the pain he has been experiencing. However, God doesn’t want us just to bare the pain. He wants us to be overcomers.  

In order to be an overcomer, we need to be aware of the fact that “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12

We do not need to fear, “…Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. …. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” Exodus 14:13-15

The battle has already been won, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Revelation 12:11
