I have the victory!

Because God has truly pressed upon me to outfit bold, unashamed believers who are overflowing with the joy of the Lord and are "more than conqerers" I wanted to talk to you about using the victory that you have already been given in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Defeating Satan is something that we must do in our everyday lives...each day is a new opportunity for us to worship in spirit and in truth...but because of that we can be assured that each day the enemy will be hard at work to stop us from doing God's work.

"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57

this scripture is our garantee that we have already won the war! Thanks to the sacrifice of Christ we were translated into the kingdom of his dear son and given eternal VICTORY! That's something to be excited about! Glory to God.

We must excercise this knowledge and faith in the word of God an turn to God for our Victory.

Time and time again, the Bible instructs us to rely upon God to deliver us from our enemy.
In (Mt. 6:13), Jesus taught His Disciples how to pray. And one part of that prayer says, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

According to this verse, who can deliver us from the evil one? Our Father in heaven!
In (James 4:7), the Holy Spirit inspired James to write, “Submit yourselves, then to God. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.”

Before we can resist the Devil, we must submit to God!
In (Eph. 6:10-11), the Bible says, “Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the Devil’s schemes.”

'That's it!Put on the Armor of God.Each day when we get up...seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness then suit up and get ready for war! Using the metaphor of a well-equipped Roman soldier, Paul told how we can be prepared for spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:11-18).

The belt of truth. Since Satan depends on deceit to maintain his power, our first line of defense is always to be truthful. We must never distort or misrepresent the truth, regardless of any advantage we might gain by doing so.
The breastplate of righteousness. Any sin in our life leaves us open to Satan's attack. Even though we are given the righteousness of Christ (2 Cor. 5:21), we must still continually put on the protection of holy living.
The shoes of the gospel of peace. With our feet firmly planted on the truth that we are at peace with God and that He is on our side, we can stand firmly against Satan's attacks.
The shield of faith. In order to quench the "fiery darts" of Satan's temptations, we must trust and believe what God has said about every area of our life.
The helmet of salvation. This is the confidence that there is coming in the future a great victory celebration. It's also referred to as the "hope of salvation" (1 Thess. 5:8). This helmet protects us against Satan's two-edged sword of discouragement and doubt.
The sword of the Spirit. Since the Word of God is the basis of our faith, we need to learn how to wield it with authority. Scripture is our best offensive weapon against the devil (Matt. 4:1-11).

Once we have put on the full armor of God, we are ready for each new day and the challenges that it brings...through focus on God and an undying faith in his word we truly do have the victory.
