Encouragement Scriptures

Anyone who has been a Christian for any length of time understands that while Jesus has purchased a victorious life for us, it does not come automatically or without an effort.  We must receive (or take) what belongs to us and that requires a fight.  The Bible calls it the “good fight of faith.”  It is good because it is a fixed fight…we have the victory; we must, however, be led by Holy Spirit in knowing how to stand (and often, standing is a good part of our fight) until we see the desired results.  Below is a list of scriptures that will help you keep your focus on the promise and off the problem that you are facing.  Always remember, the enemy knows he cannot stop the Word from working, so he will try to stop you from acting on it.  As one minister of the gospel said, “All faith failures are a result of broken focus.”  These scriptures will help you stay focused until you see the manifestation of what you desire.  In addition to confessing the statements below, go to the Word and read the scriptures out loud. Remember, the Word is “alive and energizing” according Hebrews 4:12.
