FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT 4-5-2019 VIDEO BREAKTHROUGH 2
We are to be positioned in the battle. A battle is a sustained fight to pursue a definite decision. Whether you’re fighting in the realm of health, or prosperity, or relationships or against the enemy position is everything. Esther was able to deliver people because she was positioned as queen. In our heroes of faith Moses, Isaiah, Noah, Abraham all fought in a variety of battles and all were positioned to win. God had something better in mind for positioning us as sons. Our battles are won because we are positioned on the throne. Sometimes in battle we take a moment to rest.
