War a Good Warfare

1Ti 1:18  This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

1Ti 1:19  Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

Prophecies are to be fought for. You know sometimes believers receive prophetic words and may want to watch and see if the words will happen or not. That approach is not a spiritually intelligent approach. You will see from the Bible that the fact that God gave a word may not necessarily mean that the words will happen in a particular context. However, once the words are believed and received , it ALWAYS comes to pass.
