Don’t Be Talked Out of the Victory
Dearly beloved of God, God measures everything by the perfections of His Son, not ours. He determined that we are in Christ, in union with him in his accomplishments.
Too often when we look at things we start from the wrong perspective. Instead of seeing things from the divine perspective, too often we look at things carnally. When we think this way we are easily manipulated by the prince of the power of the air our adversary, and he talks us out of what is ours in Christ.
God delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son. We entered this kingdom by being born again of God’s spirit. This is an accomplished reality.
In Christ, our position has changed from being in the power of darkness to being in the kingdom of God’s beloved Son. When Christ returns and gathers us together unto him in the air we will physically be transferred into his kingdom.
Dearly beloved, look at things from God’s perspective, not from that of the liar, who is the devil. He wants to deceive us from the true reality in Christ.
In the new birth we received “power from on high.” This power is ours to utilize so that we can walk as more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. We received the spirit from God that raised up Jesus from the dead; this power now dwells in us! We are God’s dwelling place by the spirit; His habitation.
When manifested, God’s spirit witnesses to our inner being that we are the children of God; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. This is our reality.
In Christ we are highly favored in the Father’s sight. There is no limit to the grace the Father is willing to show us. The greater our need, the greater His grace. His grace is sufficient for us; His strength is made perfect in our weakness.
God determined that we are in Christ. “Of him [God] are you in Christ Jesus”. “He that establishes us with you in Christ…is God.” See the situations you face from this perspective, not from the carnal one.
It does not matter what you are facing; mental burdens, difficult situations with no apparent way out, sickness, financial need, even death. We can live victoriously if we will believe who we are in Christ. Cast your cares upon Him because He cares for you. God meant for us to reign in life in Christ both now and throughout eternity, so reign by claiming the victory in Christ Jesus; he is Lord of all.
“As it is written, ‘For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.’ NAY, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him That loved us.” Romans 8:36 and 37
“As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him.” Put the reality into practice, dearly beloved. You are complete in him who is the head of all principality and power. Look at things from that perspective and claim your God-given victory in Christ by believing it.
