VICTORY IS FOR TODAY

A while back I was doing a Bible study and came across a scripture that said we wont need faith in heaven. Faith is something we need on this side of eternity. So for me this brought on a whole new way of thinking. I began to think what else in relation to my faith and God and my relationship with God is only for now? Almost immediately I thought the overcoming power that God gives us so we can live a victorious in Christ is for today! When we get to heaven it will all have been overcome at that point , so God has given us everything we need to live a victorious life while we’re on earth. This is amazing news! Everything that we know through Gods word about the overcoming , chain breaking, soul saving, life changing victory of Jesus is for us today! Everything we know through the testimony of past and present saints about all that God has done in their lives to enable and empower them to live in the victory of Jesus is meant for us today, Gods soul purpose for giving us the overcoming resurrection power of the one and only Holy Spirit of God is specifically for Gods children today. We are more than conquerors today, we have the power to overcome today, the Holy Spirit dwells in us today, victory in Jesus is for today. Church im here to encourage you and tell you that Victory is for today!

Romans 8:37 “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”

No matter what our circumstances, none of the sufferings of this present time can separate us from the love of God. This makes us conquerors and more! We overcome with a greater power, the power of Jesus· We overcomes with a greater motive, the glory of Jesus· We overcome with a greater victory, losing nothing even in the battle· We overcome with a greater love, conquering enemies with love and converting persecutors with patience. The love of Jesus living in us is our victory today, The love of Jesus cast out all fear,the Love of Jesus overcomes hate, the love and goodness of Jesus overcomes evil, and the truth who is Jesus has victory over deception, and its all for us to live in victory meant for today!

LIVE AND SEEK GODS PRESENCE FOR VICTORY TODAY 7 Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you JAMES 4:7-8

The very first thing we have to do to live in the victory we have access to and the victory God intends us to live in is live everyday in and with the presence of God. How can we be empowered by God and live with the overcoming victory of God but not seek and live everyday in the presence of God? Its amazing that God allows us access to His presence on a daily basis. The first step to this kind of lifestyle is found in verse 7. It says submit to God resist the devil and he will flee. So we submit to God daily , purposely seek to live in the presence of God daily, resulting in us having the Holy Spirit power to resist the devil and his attacks daily making him flee daily because our victory is for today church! Then chapter 8 tells us to draw near to God and He will draw near us. So everyone who becomes a Christian is drawn in by God and by His grace until we surrender to God and become a Christian but then God kinda leaves how much we experience Him up to us. So we have to be deliberate about living in his presence and whether or not we have victory in Jesus depends on us drawing near to God daily.The call to draw near to God is both an invitation and a promise. It is no good to submit to God’s authority and to resist the devil’s attack and then fail to draw near to God. We have it as a promise: God will draw near to us as we draw near to Him.

EMBRACE GOD’S PROMISES TODAY

2 Peter 1:4 CSB

By these he has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire.

We win the victory over satan by using the promises of God found in the word of God. We have to read the promises, memorize the promises, write the promises, claim the promises and interject our name and situation into the promises of God and doing this combined with drawing near and resisting will continually set us up for victory in today. When Christ was tempted by the devil He rebuked satan with the Word of God and got victory and defeated the devil. The word of God is a must in the daily life of a believer if that believer expects victory today and every day. The people of God delibertly seeking to live in the presence of God, drawing near to God daily, living , speaking, believing , breathing and claiming the promises of God, rebuking the enemy with the anointed Holy Word of God , become partakers of the mighty divine nature of God enabling us to escape worldly corruption and evil desire which is what I call the very Victory of God that is meant for today. Church VICTORY IS FOR TODAY, the overcoming chain breaking bondage freeing wonder working blood of Jesus gives us victory today, when you feel depressed claim the victory of the blood of Jesus in your life, when you get anxious claim the promises of God , when you feel alone get intentional on seeking the presence of God, when you are tempted proclaim the Word of God , when you feel distant draw near to God knowing He is going to draw near to you, when you feel fear lean on the perfect love of God, and doing these things will allow you to enjoy;
