Victory is yours for the taking! Think about the battles that you are facing right now. Perhaps it is sickness, financial problems, problems in your home, or problems at your job. Write them down.
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.
II Timothy 1:7, NIV
You have a choice to make concerning these battles. You can throw up your hands in despair and give up. You can stay on the defensive and keep struggling. OR … you can TAKE THE VICTORY that belongs to you!
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
I Corinthians 15:58, NIV
God has not planned for you to be beaten down, discouraged, or defeated by Satan. He has made it possible for you—through Jesus Christ—to CONQUER an enemy who has already been defeated!
The reason that many Christians are living in defeat in so many areas of their life is that they are going into battle and facing Satan’s attacks on their finances, home, family, body, loved ones, and mind without the proper ammunition!
There is only one thing powerful enough to break Satan’s hold and give you total victory. It is the infallible, unchangeable, impregnable Word of God! Many Christians today have the idea that they can face Satan and defeat him based on the strength of their faith. They have faith in their own faith instead of faith in God’s Word and in Christ’s victory over Satan.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Ephesians 6:10, NIV
It is not your faith that wins the victory. First, it is not your faith at all. Faith is a gift of God. No matter how hard you may try, you cannot produce enough faith to defeat Satan. So quit trying, and begin to walk in the victory that God has provided for you!
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Christ has already won the victory. Your faith in HIS VICTORY over Satan is what will enable you to take the victory that belongs to you. When you stand there, toe to toe, with Satan, you must not stand there in the strength of your own faith. You must stand secure in the knowledge (based on God’s Word) that Jesus Christ has already defeated Satan.
He faced every temptation, every attack of Satan, and was victorious. And, though His death and resurrection, He has already rendered Satan powerless in your life. Your victory over the circumstances that you are now facing was won at Calvary.
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
II Corinthians 1:20
I want you to know and understand this powerful position of victory that is yours in Jesus Christ. I want you to have a revelation within your spirit that as Christ (in the form of human flesh) faced Satan and defeated him, you can be victorious over Satan in every circumstance, trial, and temptation that you may face.
IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE THE VICTORY!
Say this faith declaration out loud:
In my covenant relationship with God, I am rich and have all that I need and more. God has given me everything I need. I stand in faith and in His power to overcome. I proclaim victory over my life.
