OUR PAST-TENSE VICTORY

KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 19:30 KJV “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”

Our victory is already accomplished. Jesus declared it is finished. The life and experiences of every Christian are an expression of the life of our Lord Jesus. I once heard a preacher man preach vehemently as he declared, that the Christian life is very difficult. Well, it is only difficult if you are trying to work it out by your abilities. It is the Lord Jesus expressing His victory through us. Ephesians: 2:6 &7 He raised us with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ

 Throughout the coming ages, we will be the visible display of the infinite, limitless riches of his grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ.”

Holy Bible (TPT) The Passion Translation:

 The Lord finished the work and now has taken His abode in us to display that victory in us. We express that victory by always acknowledging that we have Christ’s victory, Christ’s authority, Christ’s health, Christ’s sinlessness, Christ’s power, and Christ’s wealth. We do not attempt to become any of these, but we accept and acknowledge that that is who we are. Now Satan is not our problem. Sin is not our problem, The difficulty of the people in this world is not our problem. Our part is to insist and stand on the fact that we are exalted above all. the challenge in this world.

The scripture tells us to stand and never accept any state lower than who we are. Who are we? We are one with Jesus and have His victory. We are never defeated no matter how hard we seem to be hit. It changes nothing. We are only defeated when we acknowledge that the Lord’s victory no longer works in us. Well, this is also not possible. This is the reason any child of God who claims defeat is deceived. This is the special tool of Satan. In our prayers, we do not pray as defeated ones trying to gain victory, but as victorious ones who would not accept the lies of Satan. You as a child of God are not the sick seeking healing. You are the healed refusing to accept the sickness of Satan. You are not the poor seeking to be rich, you are the rich refusing to accept the lies of Satan that you are poor.

This is an understanding every child of God must get by renewing his or her mind.

 Say always I am one with Christ, His victory is my victory, I am never the sick seeking healing, l am the healed refusing to be sick. I am never cursed seeking blessings. I am forever blessed to reveal the glory of God. Maintain these confessions daily and every deception of Satan would vanish into thin air.

THOUGHT: IN CHRIST, WE HAVE MOVED FROM SEEKING TO RESTING
