Today we are fasting from the thought: \u201cWill I ever win this battle?\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"mounted_knight_standing\"Perhaps you\u2019re battling depression, an addiction, or fear. Perhaps it\u2019s a sickness or pain. <\/span>Regardless of what it is, here is the key to your victory, as we take this thought captive:<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>YOU\u2019VE ALREADY WON!<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/strong>Jesus<\/span>\u2019 declaration on the cross sums it up: \u201cIt is finished.\u201d (John 19:30) <\/span>What was finished? <\/span>The battle against the power of sin and the devil.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>Ask God to open the eyes of your heart. <\/span><\/strong>(<\/span><\/strong>Ephesians 1:18-19) You must look at life from God\u2019s point of view. In 2 Kings 6, when Elisha was surrounded by enemy armies, his servant became afraid and said, \u2018we\u2019re surrounded, what should we do?\u2019 <\/span>Elisha didn\u2019t pray for more angels. He prayed: \u201cLord, open the eyes of my servant, that he would see there are more for us than those against us.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

(2 Kings 6:17) <\/span>Suddenly, he saw chariots of fire and a host of angels surrounding their enemies! <\/span>The battle was already won.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>3.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>Believe you have it<\/span><\/strong>! <\/span><\/span><\/strong>In Mark<\/span> 11:24, <\/span>Jesus said, \u201cThat’s why I tell you to have faith that you have already received whatever you pray for, and it will be yours.\u201d That\u2019s power this world can\u2019t give you and money can\u2019t buy! <\/span>Remember 1 Peter 2:24 \u201c…with His stripes you WERE healed.\u201d <\/span>Notice, God speaks to us in past tense. <\/span>It\u2019s already yours!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>4.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>ONLY BELIEVE. <\/span><\/strong>Stick to what God told you to do! John 6:29 <\/strong>says, \u2018This is our work: TO BELIEVE.\u2019 <\/span>In other words, BEFORE you pray for rain, bring your umbrella! Expect it to happen. <\/span>Remember, it\u2019s \u201cthe good fight of faith.\u201d (1 Timothy 6:12) Our job is to believe. Our battle is to believe what God has done, and what is already ours. 2 Chronicles 20:15 says the battle is not yours, but God\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

5.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span>Praise God that you HAVE the victory. <\/span><\/span><\/strong>In 2 Chronicles 20:22 it says, “As they began to sing and praise the Lord, the Lord sent ambushes and their enemies were defeated<\/span>.” <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

THINK IT & SAY IT:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I already have the victory in my life. <\/span>Jesus has already won my battles for me. <\/span>My fight is to believe. <\/span>I refuse to stop believing. <\/span>I walk by faith and not by sight. <\/span>I\u2019m the head and not the tail. There are ALREADY more for me than those against me. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I cast my care and trouble on God. <\/span>He is fighting for me. <\/span>He is interceding for me right now! <\/span>I rejoice in the midst of my battles, no matter what things look like. I choose to praise God, in Jesus\u2019 Name!<\/span><\/p>\n
