Conditioning For Victory

Today we move from discussing and highlighting the negative and start conditioning ourselves to see the victory that is ours. As we condition ourselves for victory, there are two ABSOLUTES that I want to believe we must do.

Today we will cover the first one which as I was studying for got so excited at the amazing truth that was revealed and I trust that after reading it no longer will you see yourself as a nobody.

See in His light.

What we think we are and who we think we are determines what we can do, where we desire to go and what we can achieve!

Let us delve into the real being of a child of God and hopefully help you see yourself the way God sees you.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. Psalm 36:9

The bible consistently refers to God, Jesus or the kingdom of God as light. The devil on the other hand is the darkness. Scripture portrays Jesus as the light that came down to earth from heaven, He was in the light and was the light (read John 1:1-5,9 )

The word of God is also referred to as a light (Psalm 119:105)

There are three meanings to the word – LIGHT

-          Light talks about something that is right 

-          It refers to enlightenment 

-          It also refers to a way of life considered to be true

Darkness on the other side represents ignorance, immoral practices, bad outcomes and falsehood.

This is important because as Psalm 36:9 says “In Thy light shall we see light”

This simply means that only in His truth shall we begin to see who we truly are.

So let us take a look at some of the wonderful truths from the word and thereby begin to see ourselves in that way

IDENTITY “What He is – we are” (1John 4:17)

In other ways we primarily draw our identify from God. We don't try to define ourselves anywhere outside of the word of God. 

In His life is where our life is too. In his palms, lies the fullness of our hope, our future. We can never define ourselves outside of him. Whether its wealth we need, it’s all in him. As we draw closer to God, the more we find him, the closer I find who we are truly made to be (selah)…

Consider these scriptures

-  For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring. Acts 17: 28 

-          For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3

-     If a man is in Christ he is a new creation, the old is gone behold all things are become new 2Corinthians 5:17

  

Remember when you got saved you went into Christ, and Ephesians 1:20 tells us of where Christ is positioned and because He is positioned there and we are in Him it means we too are in that position. (let that sink in for a minute)  

ABILITY “What He does, we do”

Jesus came down to give an example of what we could do with God working in and through us. Mark 16:17-18

The same power that conquered death now works in and through us, therefore we have the power (remember we spoke of Exousia and Dunamis) to destroy the work of the enemy, but before you shoot off thinking that you are bad remember that it all comes from our being In Christ.

Inheritance “What He did for us – is ours!”

Ephesians 1:11 says we have already received an inheritance.

The work that Jesus did to defeat the enemy is done. The victory also belongs to us, what we need to do is receive it and yes that means going in to battle, however this is a battle in which we are already victorious.

2 Corinthians 2:14 says God always (not sometimes) causes us to triumph

1John 4:4, 5:4-5 also remind us that we are victorious we are born of the Truth and the Great One is in us.

That to me is absolutely awesome. Meditate on the word, read the scriptures for yourself and begin to see yourself in the right light.
