| God does not need you to defeat the devil today.
Jesus has already done it and given you the victory. (Colossians 2:15,
Romans 8:37) Your part is to enforce the victory by simply standing your
ground, which is victory ground. In other words, you “fight” from
victory ground by standing. You don’t fight for
victory. |
|
| In Ephesians 6:10–18, the passage on spiritual warfare,
the word “wrestle” appears only once (verse 12), while the word “stand”
appears four times — “stand against the wiles of the
devil”, “withstand in the evil day”, “having done all,
to stand”, “Stand therefore”. (Verses
11, 13–14) Four times the Holy Spirit tells us to stand. Yet, many
Christians are focusing on wrestling their way to victory! |
|
| My friend, you
are already on victory ground. You already have everything in Christ. (1
Corinthians 3:21, 23) You are already blessed with every spiritual
blessing in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3). The devil knows this. And that is
why his tactic is to deceive you and make you think that you don’t have
the victory. |
|
| So when he attacks you by saying, “Look at that
small sum in your bank account! How are you going to pay the bills?”
stand your ground. Declare, “I am not trying to be rich, I am rich. In
Christ, I am rich!” It doesn’t matter how much you have in the bank. You
are rich because you are in Christ. And as the need arises, the supply
will be there if you believe that you are already rich. |
|
| It is the same
with healing. The devil will try to attack you with symptoms in your
body. He will try to put pain in your body, and make you feel weak here
and there, so that you think that you are still sick. He is trying to
make you believe that you don’t have your healing. That is the time to
be conscious of Jesus’ finished work and declare, “I am not trying to
get healed, I am healed! I am standing on the victory ground which Jesus
has given me!” |
|
| Beloved, it makes a world of difference when
you fight from victory and not for
victory! |
