SUBJECT: ALWAYS CONFESS OUR VICTORY IN CHRIST AS STATED IN THE BIBLE!

Memory verse:  "Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place." (Second Corinthians 2 vs 14.) 

READ: Psalm 46 vs 1 -3, 7 & 11:

46:1: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 

46:2: Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.

46:3: Though it’s waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.

46:7: The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. 

INTIMATION:

The confession of our victory in Christ over Satan has remained a monumental punch on the evil one. The critical blow to Satan came when the Lamb, Jesus Christ, shed His blood for our sins. The victory is won by sacrifice—Christ’s death in our place to pay the penalty for our sin, and the sacrifices we make because of our faith in Him: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony....” (Revelation 12 vs 11.)

The “word of our testimony,”—of this victory for us in Christ Jesus, has remained an overcoming influence on the devil. Therefore, In the school of Christ you learn to say, "Thanks be to God Who always leads me in triumph in Christ!" In the school of Satan you learn to have a negative or neutral confession. And the neutral confession will bring you down to Satan's dominion and keep you there. Your life will be a failure. You will become a preacher of unbelief and of doubt and of fear.

God is our eternal refuge and can provide strength in any circumstance. Haven known what He wrought for us through Christ in redemption, we learn to say with fearlessness, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” God leads us by His Word. There are several Scriptures that announce our victory, strength, and might in God. For instance, in Isaiah 41 vs 10, the Scripture says, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; yea, I will help you; I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness." 

Jesus, speaking in John 16 vs 33, said, “These things have I spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” In these assuring Scriptures in the Bible lie our victory over Satan. That is the conqueror. That is a positive testimony that shakes the foundations of hell. That brings glory to the Father; that brings joy to Jesus; that brings victory to our own spirit.

As you maintain your posture in these Scriptures as your "solid front," your testimony becomes richer and more helpful. The living Word becomes a part of your very being. Now you are acting and speaking the word that lives in you, that is becoming a part of you. You are now bearing the fruit of righteousness. It was these Scriptures that Jesus, when tested by the devil, quoted and disarmed Satan completely. After Jesus stated thus, “It is written…..” quoting three Scriptures in response to Satan’s temptations, the Bible recorded thus; “Then the devil left Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered to Him.” (Matthew 4 vs 11.)

Do not seize in making victorious confessions enumerated in the Scriptures; it is your victory over, and conqueror of the devil. For whatever God says is sure—His Word is already settled in heaven (Psalm 119 vs 89): "So shall the word that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55 vs 11.) 

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” (Matthew 24 vs 35.) In the word of God is sure victory. None of His Words come back empty-handed. They’ll do the work He sent them to do, and completes the assignment He gave them. Therefore, when the word of God dwells in you richly in all wisdom, you will go out in joy, and be lead into a whole and complete life of victory.

Prayer: Abba Father, Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. The entrance of Your words gives light and understanding to me. My utmost heart desire is that Your Word will dwell richly in me that I may have bold declaration of Your Word and assurance of victory over the devil, in Jesus’ Name I prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
