I LOVE this devotional this morning as I deal with one of the most wretched healing crisises I have ever had! It's been an immensely tough week so I REALLY needed this reminder today! I covet your prayers as I discard all of the negative thinking that I have believed in my whole lifetime! WOW--was I EVER wrong!!!
I pray that this blesses all you who are struggling to gain victory in your lives today. Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew) already WON ALL the battles that we face when he died on the cross for us. We just have to believe it!
God bless all who are searching for truth as the deer panteth for water,

God
does not need you to defeat the devil today. Jesus has already done it and given
you the victory. (Colossians 2:15, Romans 8:37) Your part is to enforce the
victory by simply standing your ground, which is victory ground. In other words,
you “fight” from victory ground by standing. You don’t fight
for victory.
|
In
Ephesians 6:10–18, the passage on spiritual warfare, the word “wrestle” appears
only once (verse 12), while the word “stand” appears four
times—“stand against the wiles of the devil”,
“withstand in the evil day”, “having done all, to
stand”, “Stand therefore”. (Verses 11, 13–14) Four
times the Holy Spirit tells us to stand. Yet, many Christians are focusing on
wrestling their way to victory!
|
My
friend, you are already on victory ground. You already have everything in
Christ. (1 Corinthians 3:21, 23) You are already blessed with every spiritual
blessing in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3). The devil knows this. And that is why his
tactic is to deceive you and make you think that you don’t have the
victory.
|
So
when he attacks you by saying, “Look at that small sum in your bank account! How
are you going to pay the bills?” stand your ground. Declare, “I am not trying to
be rich. I am already blessed in Christ!” It doesn’t matter how much you have in
the bank. You are richly supplied because you are in Christ. And as the need
arises, the supply will be there if you believe it.
|
It
is the same with healing. The devil will try to attack you with symptoms in your
body. He will try to put pain in your body, and make you feel weak here and
there, so that you think that you are still sick. He is trying to make you
believe that you don’t have your healing. That is the time to be conscious of
Jesus’ finished work and declare, “I am not trying to get healed, I am healed! I
am standing on the victory ground which Jesus has given me!”
|
Beloved,
it makes a world of difference when you fight from victory and
not for victory!
