Victory: Strengthened with Might //

Today we continue with our series on walking in victory on a daily basis. Last time we looked at David and how he strengthened himself in the midst of terrible circumstances. This time I want to go further and consider what we can do to walk in that strength that assures us of victory and enables us not to cave in when adverse circumstances hit us.

First lets look at Ephesians 3:16
“That He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man”

God has unlimited resources to give us through His holy Spirit.
That brings strength to us with might.
That word “might” can be described in this passage as “God’s ability to accomplish anything”
Think about that. You possess God’s ability to accomplish anything in you because as verse 17 says Christ dwells in us.

That is why it is possible to get strength in the middle of the worst time. You have it anyway on the inside of you and so you can develop strategies to call on that can bring it to the surface when you need it.
That strength will accomplish whatever you need. So you can pick yourself up and go for it.

The major question then is how do I do that. What can I do?
That is a good question and we cannot ignore it. It is not enough to just say “pick yourself up” In many ways that can be difficult with what you may be facing. So we have to consider some key things we can do that will help with that process.

Remember God is your source. God is your victory.

1 Remember who Jesus is and what he has already done in you.

John 20:31 reminds us ‘that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that believing you may have life in His name”
He is the Christ. Your saviour and he has rescued you.

Here are some other snippets to think on.

He is the son of God.He is the King of kings. He is risen. He has paid the price. He has defeated sin. He has given you the way to heaven and victory, healing and deliverance. He is comfort and help. He has sent the Holy Spirit as your helper. He is the bread of life. He is kind and generous. He is “I am” to you. He am everything you need. He is your friend. He is able. He has the power. He will forgive. He will set you free. He is a very present help in time of trouble.

More than anything else He loves you.
He is the fourth man in the lions den, fighting and working for you. He is for you so who can be against you.

Remember even just those things when times get tough and you will not stay down for long

2 Remember who you are in Christ

I really believe this is a vitally important point for the body of Christ to grasp. So often we fail to recognise who we are and so lack the confidence in Christ that he wants for us.

There are so many scriptures to use that help us to recognise and meditate on this. Just think of a few.

You are created in His image. You are blessed. You are loved. You are saved. You are forgiven. You are chosen. You are a new creature in Christ. You are walking by faith. You are righteous. You are healed by His stripes. You are redeemed. You are delivered from the power of darkness. You are strong in the Lord. You are an overcomer and more than a conqueror.

We have to feed our spirit and mind with this on a daily basis. Then we are strengthened against every fiery dart of the enemy. This is what God says you are. So you agree with God.

Don’t agree with yourself, the devil, the circumstance, the sickness or the lack. Agree with what god says.

3 Remember who the devil is

So often the devil gets lifted up bigger than he is. He is not God. He is lost. He is evil.
However he has been defeated by Jesus and he is under your feet. So you have to put him there and make sure he stays that way.

Ultimately he has nothing in you but deception. He has an end and what is more he has no place in you.

Make sure you remember that and he will be defeated in your life.

Ultimately I believe if we begin to apply these three things on a daily basis we will have the victory in our life. If we are consistent we will walk in the strength and might of God.
