When you a fighting in a battle, don’t choose to fight the men with scars………

* Why is that statement true ?
* Why would you want choose to fight the men without scars ?

Because the men with scars ~~~~ KNOW HOW TO FIGHT…
the men with scars ~~~~ have already ” been through a battle ”
the men with scars ~~~~are on the ” other side ”

What battle are you fighting right now ?
Feel like you been ” cut on a few times ? ”

I got about a 10 ” scar when I was 18
HEALED ….

I got the same scar cut on each side….and opened up again…..
HEALED…..

OH, what I learned….in scar # 1’s
OH, what I learned….in scar #2’s

Devastations, Depleations, Denials, Drug for miles, Down in a well……so deep.

only 2 battles in 54  yrs ?  yeah right….

Then there is Cindrella……one who walks in the rain with an umbrella…..

YOUR BATTLE……right now the wound may be WIDE OPEN…not healed yet
YOUR BATTLE ….right now may be healing…tender…don’t touch….guarded.
YOUR BATTLE….could be ” healing wrong”…..not cleaned out, set right, and it is
getting some infection or scar tissue…and it will forever remind you
PAIN will stay “set” in that wound.

But, but, but,  IF….
IN THIS BATTLE,

a. you listen to GOD, seek GOD, ask GOD, hear GOD…obey GOD
b. YOU WALK IN THIS BATTLE to learn HOW TO FIGHT – the FIGHT…
YOU walk anticipating, looking…and moving, not being HELD DOWN UNDER THE WATER..
YOU keep your feet moving….
c.  YOU are gaining wisdom, understanding, discernment and insight from THIS BATTLE.
d.  YOU are maturing,  ” how do I not get in this exact battle AGAIN ”
e.  How do I fight IN MY STRENGTH ( GOD )
HOW DO I FIGHT ~  IN MY WEAKNESS…..to WIN ?
f.   HOW do I raise both hands to GOD in worship of getting me to the OTHER SIDE

I can look at my scar ….and it gives me CONFIDENCE…
I can look at my scar…and say ” GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME…THAN HE THAT
IS IN THE WORLD”

Don’t fight a man with scars…..choose the ones with NO SCARS,
because they do not KNOW……how to fight.

Difference between fighting hurt…… is you get back up
Difference between fighting injured…..you are down.

The scar…..YOU GOT BACK UP…
The scar ….YOU KNOW….YOU KNOW…how to fight …you have ” been there” …
YOUR SCAR = wisdom
YOUR SCAR = trials, battles, warring…
YOUR SCAR =  victory

There is someone reading this that has a scar……
That you look at it as defeat….
But God looks at it as a ” warrior being made ”

Truly think of JESUS,  HIS SCARS……..HIS VICTORY
Greater is HE…that is IN US….than HE THAT IS IN THE world.
