“Pelea la buena batalla de la fe; no dejes escapar la vida eterna,
pues para eso te llamó Dios y por eso hiciste una buena declaración de
tu fe delante de muchos testigos.” (1 Timoteo 6: 12)
El domingo pasado mientras me preparaba para ir a la escuela
dominical, conversaba con el Señor y le expresaba lo cansada que me
sentía. Recuerdo que le dije que sentía que mi armadura parecía algo
desgastada y en algunas partes muy vulnerable y débil. Le preguntaba
yo al Señor, ¿cómo es posible seguir adelante? ¿Cómo me pongo ahora
esa armadura de la cuál tanto predicamos? Aunque me sentía así, opté
por alabar al Señor en cánticos, porque “en el dolor es mejor cantar”
y me fui para la iglesia a adorar con mis amados hermanos.
Al final de la clase una hermanita leyó el pasaje que ahora les
comparto.
“Que no se te olvide que eres un luchador o luchadora del evangelio.
Puede que la armadura la tengas muy desgastada, puede que algún dardo
del enemigo te haya hecho mucho daño, pero eso no impedirá que sigas
siendo un luchador o luchadora del evangelio. Dios te llamó a
conquistar y no ser conquistado, tú debes luchar por conquistar todas
la áreas de tu vida con la ayuda poderosa del Señor. Fuiste llamado
con un propósito en específico y el enemigo sabe muy bien eso. Él
sabe que eres un arma ponderosa en las manos del Señor que hace
temblar las tinieblas del mal y por ello tratará por todos los medios
de imponer temor sobre tu vida, de sembrar la incertidumbre y llenarte
de dudas mas tú debes tener claro que eso no podrá detenerte, porque
Dios, que es el General de los Ejércitos, nunca ha perdido una
batalla. Tú naciste para vencer y no para ser vencido, tú naciste
para avanzar y nunca retroceder, tú naciste para derrotar y no ser
derrotado porque Dios está contigo y si Él está contigo, ¿Quién contra
ti? Hoy quiero que te levantes, que te pongas nuevamente tu armadura,
que vayas y pelees sabiendo que Dios está contigo, respaldándote; que
no hay flecha que pueda herirte de muerte, que no hay espada que pueda
robar tus sueños, que no hay enemigo que pueda deternete de cumplir
los propósitos para los que fuiste llamado. ‘Nadie podrá hacerte
frente en todos los días de tu vida…’ (Josué 1: 5a)”*

“Fight the good fight for the faith; take hold of eternal life, to
which you were called and have made a good confession before many
witnesses.” (1Timothy 6: 12)
Last Sunday as I was getting ready to go to Sunday school, I was
telling the Lord that I was feeling rather tired. I remember saying
that I felt like my armor seemed worn out and weak in certain places.
In one word I felt vulnerable. So, I asked the Lord, how can I keep
going? How can I put on that armor that we love to preach about?
Although I was not feeling well, I chose to praise the Lord in song,
because whenever there is pain it is best to praise the Lord, and I
went to church to worship with my beloved brethren.
At the end of the class a beautiful sister read the passage that I now
share with you.
"Do not forget you're a soldier in the Army of the Lord. Your armor,
may be worn out, maybe one of the darts of the enemy has done some
damage, but that does not prevent you from being steadfast as soldier
of the Lord. God called you to conquer, and not be conquered; you must
fight to conquer all areas of your life with the powerful help of the
Lord. You were called to a specific purpose and the enemy knows that.
He knows that you're a powerful weapon in the hands of the Lord, the
one who makes the darkness of evil tremble, though he will try by all
means necessary, to impose fear on your life, to sow seeds of
uncertainty and doubt on your mind, but you must be clear that the
enemy cannot stop you, because God, who is the General of the Army,
has never lost a battle. You were born to win and not to be beaten,
you were born to move forward and never turn back, you were born to
defeat the enemy, and not be defeated, because God is with you and if
He is with you, who can be against you? Today I want you to get up, to
wear your armor again, to go and fight, knowing that God is with you,
behind you, and all around you, that there is no arrow that can
mortally wound you, no sword that can steal your dreams, no enemy can
stop the fulfillment of the purposes for which you were called. " No
one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. I will be
with you… I will not leave you or forsake you." (Joshua 1: 5) "*
