Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
The word of God tells us that Christ has already given us victory over Satan and everything that is contrary to the will of God. How then do we experience victory over opposing situations and circumstances in everyday life? Understand that when things come against you, you don’t give up on God, you don’t give up on yourself, you don’t cave in. Rather, you resist the devil, and you can only do that in faith; that’s why faith is so important to experiencing daily victory. You cannot resist the devil complaining or murmuring; you can only resist him in faith. For example, 1 Peter 5:8-9 says to resist the devil steadfastly in the faith. In other words, you speak faith words against situations and circumstances in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. If it’s sickness, you say, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I believe that by the stripes of Jesus I have been made whole; therefore, this sickness cannot stay in my body, I command you to take your leave now as I speak. You don’t endure sicknesses and diseases, you cast them out in the Name of the Lord. The Word tells us not to give the devil a foothold; don’t let him get any breathing space. Overwhelm and overrun him. You are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus who loved you and gave Himself for you.
When it comes to things pertaining to finances, marriage, family, look out for God’s Word and stand on the Word of God. Release faith according to God’s Word by speaking God’s Word in prayer and declarations. Say to yourself “In the Name of Jesus, I refuse to let go of the victory that Christ has given me. He has given me victory and I refuse to let it go. I take a hold of it in the Name of Jesus.” As you declare words according to your faith, you will see it leap into being for you. Refuse to give the devil a place. Refuse to let the devil overwhelm you; don’t let him do it. You have the victory in Christ, and so stand your ground in faith in Jesus’ Name; for God always causes you to triumph in Christ. Hallelujah!
MY SOLID FRONT (YOUR CONFESSION):
Thank you Father for causing me to triumph always in all things by Your Spirit, I declare that I have victory over life’s battles. I am more than a conqueror in Jesus’ Name.
