Daily Devotional for Monday November 10, 2003

There is victory in Jesus!

( Psalms 44:5, Romans 8:37, 1 John 5:4 )

There is victory in Jesus! One of the reasons that I love the old hymns of the church is because these incredibly gifted servants of God who wrote the classic hymns of our faith were not only gifted in the area of music, but they intimately KNEW God, KNEW God's Word, and were theologically 100% right on point in the message that they shared through their music.

One of the great hymns of our faith is "Victory In Jesus". My friend, I am here to tell you today, that no matter what battles that you may be fighting in your life today, no matter what obstacles that might be before you, no matter what you struggles may be dealing with.....there is VICTORY IN JESUS!!!!!

You see, the trials and tribulations of this life are only temporary. The victory is not in winning every little skirmish that we encounter on our journey here, but in knowing Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The VICTORY comes when our eternal destination is secured through our faith in Christ. After that, we can NEVER be defeated no matter what the situation, no mater what the world may say, no matter what happens to us.

This life, this brief journey is fraught with problems, things to discourage us, daily set-backs. But it is our faith in Christ, who already GUARANTEED us that we would be eternally with Him, insures us no matter what the problems that we face today may be, we will live in ultimate victory because those problems will one day be gone and no longer part of our existence!

One of my goals each day as I share the hope and love of Christ with you, in the context of the real issues we all face in our daily journey, is to help you keep the big picture in focus. The small picture is the trials and tribulations in your life today. The big picture is the fact that when this brief journey here on earth is over, we will be eternally with Christ. We will eternally be with God our Creator. The trials and tribulations of this life will no longer exist.

So my word for you today is to press forward, and to walk in the victory that you already have because of your faith in Christ!!!

There is nothing, NO THING that you are facing today that you can not claim victory over. If it is your finances, claim VICTORY over your finances today! If it is a marriage problem, claim VICTORY over your marriage today! If it is a health issue, claim VICTORY over your healing today. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT PROBLEM THAT YOU ARE FACING TODAY....CLAIM 100% VICTORY OVER THAT PROBLEM TODAY!!!!

Jesus Christ went to a cross 2000 years ago and WON that victory for you! You are not defeated, you are victorious!!! You are not a loser, you are a winner if your faith is in Jesus Christ! WALK IN YOUR VICTORY TODAY!!!!

I love you and care about you so much. Each day we get in over 40,000 prayer requests that my ministry team faithfully answers in a personal way. I personally answer about 100 requests each and every day. We have a special time of prayer at Liveprayer each day and we pray over every need that you send. I personally spend time each day in prayer for YOUR needs. I want you to understand today, that if you have accepted Jesus into your life by faith, no matter what your circumstances may be, YOU ARE WALKING TODAY IN VICTORY!!!!

***"Man does not dictate your victory, your faith in Christ does."

He already went to the cross and died so YOU, this day, could have victory over whatever problems that you are facing in your life.

As you go through your day, keep this word in your heart There is VICTORY IN JESUS! Despite what your circumstances may be this day, WALK IN THAT VICTORY, LIVE THAT VICTORY!!! Christ died so that you could enjoy complete victory in your life, regardless what this world may throw your way. Repeat these powerful words. There is VICTORY IN JESUS! THERE IS VICTORY IN JESUS! THERE IS VICTORY IN JESUS! Know that I am praying for you today. Amen!!!!
