“Therefore do not throw away your CONFIDENCE, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.” “But my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he SHRINKS BACK, my soul has no pleasure in him.” (Heb. 10:35-36, 38)

How to recover your “confidence” in warfare:

1. Be strong in the LORD.

1. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of HIS might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” (Eph. 6:10-11)  
2. Every day, put on your prayer armor piece by piece: helmet, breastplate, belt, shoes, sword, and shield. Realize that Satan has no power over that armor; it is the ARMOR OF GOD. 

2. Be strong in your FRIENDS. (Heb. 10:24)

1. "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to MEET TOGETHER, as is the habit of some, but ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” 
2. Your friends are critical in a battle. You need a squad, a circle of friends who know the Word and know the Lord.
3. Find your small group and share your life with them. “Two of you will chase ten thousand.”

3. Be strong in your THOUGHT LIFE.

1. “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not SETTING YOUR MIND on the things of God, but on the things of man.” (Mt. 16:23)   
2. Thoughts and imaginations are the battleground. Thoughts of defeat and fear come at night and from random sources. You must “take them captive” by calling them lies OUT LOUD.
3. Don’t fight thoughts with thoughts, fight thoughts with WORDS. “Fear, leave me now. Every lying thought, GO from my mind.”
