STAND STRONG IN YOUR VICTORY
Ephesians 6:10-11 (AMPC), Romans 8:37 (AMPC) In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides]. Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil. *Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
The root of every problem in the world today is the fall of man caused by Adam’s disobedience to God. However, the victory over every problem in the world today has been provided by the obedience of Jesus to suffer and die for us. When Jesus declared, “it is finished” as He was dying for you and for me, He was declaring that the price for our sins had been fully paid and that every hindrance to our being all that God wants us to be had been taken out of the way. Just as the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom,(Matt.27:50-51) every veil and hindrance to our victory has been taken out of the way. We now have full access to absolute freedom and victory in every area of our lives.
No matter what comes your way, be of good cheer because Jesus has overcome the world for you. Jesus has overcome for you and you will overcome also. By your faith in Christ, you have already overcome. Every battle you have to fight now is not to try and win per se, Jesus has already won for you. You fight now by standing in the victory Christ has won for you. The reason we are more than conquerors is because Jesus has conquered for us and He has gracefully given us the privilege to experience and exercise His victory in every area of our lives.

Jesus has taken the keys of life and death from the devil. Jesus has also stripped all principalities and powers of their powers so they can no longer dominate over you, (Col.2:15). It is not your power that you are exercising over the devil; it is the power of Christ. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, put on the whole armour of God. Be conscious of Christ’s victory for you and use it to receive your victory in every area of your life.
Faith Declaration:
Jesus has overcome and He won the victory for me. I am strong in the victory that Jesus has won for me. I am victorious.
