Do you know that until you SETTLE it in your MIND that indeed JESUS CHRIST has WON the Devil and all your enemies in arrears and in advance on your behalf, you wouldn't THINK, SPEAK and LIVE victoriously and joyfully as a genuine Christians in this World because of the battles you will be facing daily and seems God has forgotten you. True!
But if you settle in your mind that you are already a WINNER because JESUS CHRIST on your behalf had WON the Devil and all your enemies in arrears and in advance, you will think, speak and live boldly, no matter what the Devil and all your enemies brings against you in this World. True!
The Bible reveals to us thus:
CHRIST HAS REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, BEING MADE A CURSE FOR US: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Galatians 3:13,14).
Because of the above, the Bible counsels us thus:
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the World, and not after Christ. FOR IN HIM DWELLS ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY. AND YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH IS THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER: In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also you are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who had raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, has He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And HAVING SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, HE MADE A SHOW OF THEM OPENLY, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT. (Colossians 2:8-15).
Therefore, the Bible declares to us thus:
What shall we then say to these things? IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST Us? He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yes rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. NAY, IN ALL THESE THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8: 31-39).
Now,
1. Because Jesus Christ has WON the Devil in terms of SELF, you have the POWER (by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is living within you) over SELF not ruling over you If you are defeated by SELF, it is because you lack understanding and allow your LUST and PRIDE to rule of you. True!
2. Because Jesus Christ has WON the Devil in terms of SATAN, you have the POWER (by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is living within you) over SATAN not to rule over you. If you are defeated by SATAN, it is because you lack understanding and allow your LUST and PRIDE to rule of you. True!
3. Because Jesus Christ has WON the Devil in terms of SIN, you have the POWER (by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is living within you) over SIN not ruling over you. If you are defeated by SIN, it is because you lack understanding and allow your LUST and PRIDE to rule of you. True!
4. Because Jesus Christ has WON the Devil in terms of SINNERS, you have the POWER (by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is living within you) over SINNERS not ruling over you. If you are defeated by SINNERS, it is because you lack understanding and allow your LUST and PRIDE to rule of you. True!
5. Because Jesus Christ had WON the Devil in terms of SOCIETY, you have the POWER (by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is living within you) over your SOCIETY not ruling over you. If you are defeated by SOCIETY is because you lack understanding and allow your LUST and PRIDE to rule of you. True!
Take note, take heed!
Read Romans 8:1-14; James 1:12-15; 1 John 2:15-17, 1 John 5:4,5,18-21.
Now, know and note that JESUS CHRIST has WON on your behalf everything darkness in this World in terms of lie, sickness, poverty, failure, character weakness, death, etc. True!
Therefore, when SELF, SATAN, SIN, SINNERS and SOCIETY rises up against you in any way and manner, you rise up also in Bible believing and Holy Spirit driven FAITH to RESIST such evil aggression against you and you will certainly and surely WIN to the glory of God. True! Take note, take heed!
This is why the Bible counsels us thus:
ARISE, SHINE; FOR YOUR LIGHT IS COME, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS RISEN UPON YOU. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the Earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. (Isaiah 60:1,2; Revelation 5:1-12).
Also,
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM; FOR HE CARES FOR YOU. Be sober, be vigilant; because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, as a roaring lion, walks about, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR: WHOM RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who had called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. (1 Peter 5:6-10).
Also,
For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMES the World: and this is the VICTORY that overcomes the world, even OUR FAITH. Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4,5).
Do you get it?
Your FAITH is your WEAPON of VICTORY that your enemies cannot defeat in you in Christ in this World. It is your SHIELD against ALL EVIL ARROWS of your enemies against what is godly and good in your life in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
Therefore, the Bible counsels us thus that ABOVE ALL evil attacks against you:
Above all, TAKING THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith you shall be able TO QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS of the wicked. (Ephesians 6:16).
God rewards your FAITH, not your DOUBT. True! Take note, take heed! (Hebrews 11:1-3; James 1:2-8).
Therefore, never you GIVE UP your FAITH to Self, Satan, Sin, Sinners and Society ungodly pressures and pleasures on you for any reason. Please don't!
This is because your Bible based FAITH is your last SPIRITUAL CURRENCY in the sight and side of God for VICTORY at last for you in any situation you find yourself in Christ in this World. Don't spend, use or give it up carelessly and foolishly, but wisely. (Ephesians 5:15-18).
Finally, make up your mind to DIE IN FAITH in Christ believing GOD no matter what than to LIVE IN DOUBT in Christ doubting God in this World because of LIFE CHALLENGES. Yes, I have done so myself! (Romans 4:17-25; Hebrews 11).
Now, because GOD IS FAITHFUL and ABLE, He will make sure your FAITH pays off at last for you. True! (1 Peter 5:8-10; Romans 8:28).
God bless you.
