Thankful For Victory

Faced with battles everyday, we can win or lose them largely based upon our willingness to just show up. That is not said lightly as we all know how difficult life can seem. But it is important to remember that much of what we battle is in our minds. There is only what is immediately around us in our reality. The rest is in our minds. But our Father in heaven knows this and has provided a way of escape and victory.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Here we see we can overcome the battles in our mind. But how do we do that?

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Here we see that Yeshua (Jesus) our Messiah cleanses us by His word. The Greek word here for “word” is “rhema” which means something uttered (spoken). When we call out to God, He speaks to us and we get the benefit of His washing us and our minds clean. There is also the power we have to fight back the same way, through our speaking.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

The saved here means wholeness and applies to everything about us. Today we can be thankful that God has given us the power to fight back and win our hearts and minds back for Him, and He will help if we ask. Praise Yahuah!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King and we long for Your kingdom on this earth. Praise and thanks to the name Yahuah! We love You. Send us today Your overwhelming blessing that we cannot contain. Forgive us our sins and heal us up. Deliver us from the darkness that wants to consume what You have provided. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name we ask these things. Amen.
