Fear tries to get us to give up, but faith takes us all the way through to victory!- Joyce Meyer
I know this statement to be true from my own personal experience. My husband and I were just reflecting yesterday and said only by the grace of God and our (Romans 6:14) faith in Him that kept us from giving up on our own miracle. The Lord would speak to me and to him throughout our waiting and say, "victory is yours" or "you are a victor, not a victim" and in several other ways and He always used the word, Victory. 1 Corinthians 15:57 tells us, "But thanks [be] to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ". The Lord's sacrifice on the cross tells us victory is ours. He took on all the sins of the world so that we would not have to therefore we are to live victorious lives throughout our time on earth. Our lives should reflect boldness, blessed assurance, and victory for we already know the ending to the story. We already know the battle has been fought, it has been established and we have won. Therefore our mindsets should reflect the posture and attitude of conquerors, not victims. Make sense? I know there are days when we just want to cry, I cried many of days waiting and wondering. But I would hold on to the hope that no matter what happened, if it was God's will for my life, how could I go wrong. I knew His delays did not mean His denials. It is in our waiting that He is strengthening our faith. We must change our hearts, our attitudes, our minds. Allow His love, His victory at Calvary to penetrate our souls so that we can not only walk in victory but truly live in it and find the deep joy that comes with it. Worry and fear is not of God. Get rid of it and allow your faith to take you all the way to your victory!
"But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere". 2 Corinthians 2:14
