If you want to be a victor, you must learn to harness the power of your thoughts and understanding. Understand who you are created to be. You are a child of God with the power, authority and dominion to overcome all your adversities. You are His representative in the earth. You can confidently battle not just anyone, but anything!
For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. – Ephesians 6:12-13 (NIV). You are fully covered by God. You never have to run from the enemy! The weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ – 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (ESV).
Every battle is won or lost in your mind. The Holy Spirit will make you wise and let you understand what it is to really know God, His plans, His vision and His purpose for your life. The power within you is the same power used to raise Jesus Christ from the dead and allow Him to sit at the Father’s right side in Heaven. He rules over all beings in this world and will rule in the future world as well. God has put all things under the power of Christ, the Head of everything. The Mystery is that the church is Christ’s body, you and me. You have resurrection power inside of you. Are you using it?
Picture this, the Roman soldier pierced Jesus’ battered and bruised side as He hung there bleeding and lifeless on the cross. The precise moment the pierce was made to verify Jesus’ death, the Church was released into the earth - The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
While you are watching television, reading your favorite novel, trying to beat the app on your phone, or studying for your next exam or promotion… In all your getting, make certain to Get It – Understanding, Wisdom, Knowledge & Power! Jesus gave His own body to destroy the Law of Moses with all its rules and commandments. He brought the Jews and Gentiles together as one; He united us in peace through His suffering. Will you dedicate at least fifteen minutes a day, five days a week, to Be The One He called you to be? We Are Church – Mystery… Unity through Diversity. In all your getting of life – Get It.
