For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.

 1 John 5:4

“Victoriosity”

Good Afternoon Beloved,

You know I thought I was making up some new word, until I did a word search and found out that others use the word as well.  I even had my own definition, “the state of being victorious”… oh well … the bible told us that there was nothing new under the sun .  Do you realize that in order to have ‘victory’, there must first be a battle.  I know we don’t like fighting,  but that is just the way it is.  My mom was teaching bible class once and she described it this way.

“We are all in the battle.  You can sit on the battlefield in full battle fatigues with your gun and ammunition sitting on the ground, or you can get up and use what God gave you…. it is up to you…. but you are still in the battle nevertheless”…..

That has stuck with me for many years.  We have an enemy whether we like it or not.  He hates us because he hates God.  He can’t slap God, so he tries to strike out and destroy those God loves… us.  It is like a bully who although afraid to take us on, goes after our children.  Now, we know what would happen in the natural… the fight would be on!  That is fine when the child is a child, but now fast forward a few years.  Say the ‘child’ is 21, and someone on their job is bothering them.  Do we go up to their office, punch the person in the face, and create a scene, or do we let them handle it.  We let them handle it.  Why?  Because hopefully, by that time we will have instilled in them the tools they need to deal with the situation the right way.  God is much the same way.  Some things He is not going to step in and handle.  Why?  Because He has given us the tools and the authority to do it ourselves.  That sounds strange to us doesn’t it?  Ever notice how God never changed a single animals’ name in the Garden of Eden.  Whatever Adam called them, that is what they are called today.  Remember this:

Then He (Jesus) called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.  Luke 9:1

Wow … They were His disciples…. and so are we.  Not only that, but we are His family…..

…. and that Beloved is Good News!
U Blessed!

Have A Fabulous Day walking in “Victoriosity”

Fighter -1 Timothy 6:12 90 of 113   I heard someone say that a good fight is one you win. In our fight of faith, we can take courage from knowing that God promises that we will win in the end. August 3, 2008

Character Builder -2 Peter 1:5–7 81 of 113   Building Christian character can be a strain sometimes, but it is necessary to “keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – 2 Peter 1:8 NIV May 25, 2008

Concentration -Isaiah 26:3 34 of 113   There are plenty of voices in this world telling us that we are going to fail. But if we keep our attention on the Lord and His Word, and trust in Him, we will succeed. June 17, 2007
