Grace to maintain your victorious attitude
Romans 8:35-37 (NIV)
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
The best time to declare that we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us is not only when everything is going well and we are not having any stress. It is in all these things that we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. In between when we receive and believe God's Word and when God's Word fully manifests in our lives we may go through difficult times and valleys of the shadow of death just like Joseph went through in the pit, Potiphar's house and the prison. The process cannot stop the promise. That is why we must remain victorious. God's Word is sure and His promises are ye and amen in Christ, 2Cor.1:20. What you are going through is divinely working out together for your good, Rom.8:28. Just as the princes of this world did not know how crucifying Christ was going to work out together for our good (1Cor.2:8) so also the devil doesn't know how that what you are going through will both work and be turned around for your good.
Do not let what you are going through change your faith and confidence in God. Do not be afraid. Revelation 12:11 says and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. As they were testifying about what Jesus had done for them with His blood they were also not afraid of losing their lives. Philippians 1:28 says “don't be afraid of your enemies; always be courageous, and this will prove to them that they will lose and that you will win, because it is God who gives you the victory.” Your refusing to fear what you are going through is a sign that you are already victorious.
FAITH DECLARATION:
No matter what I go through, I will not lose my joy and I will not be afraid. I am already victorious through Christ.
