“Despise not prophesyings.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬

Look at this:
“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;” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬
He says it’s a good warfare- meaning, it expected that he wins! With prophecy, he would war a good warfare, irrespective of what he faced in his day, holding on- remembering and declaring- the prophecies that went before on him, he would remain unmoved. The Bible says:
“For we wrestle …” Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭
In wrestling, it is important that you remain standing- that’s how you win, and so he admonished us to:
“…and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore…”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭13‬-‭14‬
But remaining standing isn’t by your mental prowess, he says use the words of prophecy and war a good warfare- if the devil tries to push you down or tackle you with health, financial, emotional or spiritual issues- remain standing and unmoved because: Psalms 46:1-5.
