Peace with God Through Faith

Sometimes you have to fight for your peace.
Endurance, character, hope. 

Those are some of the things that warriors need in order to push through in life. Warriors are the ones who fight, but warriors fight smart. They fight with their faith. They fight with God flanked on all sides. They know they're covered even before they go out to battle.

The battle can be any struggle or obstacle. 

As long as God is for us, who can be against us?

That's the approach we take in order to have peace amidst a storm -- through our faith in God. You want to win? Winning doesn't just happen with a person. We all have to compete against the opponent(s). And we have to put in a more valiant effort than the enemy. That takes fortitude -- mental and emotional strength.

Fortitude is part of the equation of having peace with God through our faith. It's not always easy, but it gets easier with practice and it gets easier when we are assured of this:
"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:1-5
You need to know who you are and that you can get through anything with God standing with you. So don't quit, because you're not a quitter. Don't let your opponent win. Don't let the enemy win.

    Tell me how you talk so much about God and peace when your son has never once apologized to me or my children I let him go without a fight I didn't pursue suing you and your family because I am a Christian ... My children suffer everyday because your son shows no remorse for the death of my son is this Christian ? A simple sorry I made. Mistake ... Nothing just go on living . While my children use the example of this as people in the world because they never got a I'm sorry I know you needed your brother . You confuse me you write beautifully but how much is true when a mother does not steer her child right to as small as ask for forgiveness to the women you took her child's life . You can not be forgiven by God if you don't love the people of this world and are forgiven by those you have wronged. It's been a year and not one word from the boy who told the DA he was my friend .... Makes you think you should read my blog it's the raw pain that I love with everyday without my som

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa

Protecting My Peace - Day 95 - We Have to Stop Giving Away Our Power

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. Are you giving away your power? Are you letting people take control over our lives? If so, it’s time to stop operating like that. If we’re letting anyone influence us to the point that it’s causing us emotional pain or taking our peace, we have to move away from such people. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a personal or professional environment. Stay positive and productive in the process though, because dealing with challenges are part of the life process. Nevertheless, we can “fight” for our right for peace and respect. We just fight smart and continue to know who we are, especially who we are in Christ Jesus.
