WINNING IN LIFE BY FAITH IN CHRIST

1John 5:4-5, 2Corinthians 5:7, 2Corinthians 4:18

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God(For we walk by faith, not by sight.) While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Many believers do not know the supernatural and all-encompassing power of this faith of Christ that has been given to them. Just as by your faith in Christ you received your freedom from sin and the devil’s power, by your faith in Christ you can win and overcome in any and every situation. By your faith in Christ, you can overcome all kinds of things in every kind of situation. The victory that overcomes the world is our faith. Our faith in Christ helps us to see and accept what God has said about us in Christ as our reality. We are spirits that have souls and live in bodies. Right now, we walk or live by faith (our reality in Christ in the spirit) and not by sight or the things we can see, feel, hear, taste or smell physically, no matter how real and permanent they may seem.

For us, the things we see or experience in the physical are temporal and they are not our reality, no matter how long they have existed or have happened. On the other hand, the things God has said about us in Christ are permanent and our reality, whether we are experiencing them now or not. They are real because God has said them and God cannot lie. “Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen,” (Heb.11:3, TPT).

What we see or experience physically, does not have the power to change what God says about us in Christ. It is what God says about us in Christ that changes what we see or experience physically. See what God is saying about you in Christ and declare it into your life. You will experience it. “If you believe, you will see the glory of God,” (John 11:40). “Blessed is she that believes, for there shall be a performance of the things the Lord told her” (Luke 1:45).

Faith Declaration:
I live and win by my faith in Christ. What God has said about me in Christ is my reality. Everything else is subject to change.
