HOW TO WALK IN VICTORY: SEE YOUR BATTLES CORRECTLY (PART TWO)

Many believers lose victory because they see their problems wrong. If you see

every battle as destruction, you will live discouraged. But if you see every battle as

preparation, you will live in victory.

2 Corinthians 4:17

For our present troubles are small and won’t last very

long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will

last forever!

Your battle is not always against you. Sometimes it is working for you. Victory

comes when your perspective changes. When we begin to understand that battles

are part of growth, it changes how we react to difficulty. But the truth goes even

deeper than that. Not only does God allow battles, the Bible teaches that God can

actually use the pressure we are under to accomplish His purpose. That brings us to

the next truth we must understand if we are going to walk in victory.

James 1:2–3

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way,

consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is

tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.

Faith is not proven in comfort. Faith is proven in conflict. Trials test faith, testing

will build strength, and strength leads to victory.

Romans 8:28

And we know that in all things God works for the good of

those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Even what the enemy means for harm, God can use for good. So, trust God, don’t

quit in the struggle and stay faithful in the process.

2 Corinthians 4:18

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is

unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

What you see is not the whole story. We must look higher by thinking eternally and

trust God’s plan.

Victory belongs to those who learn to see correctly. Thus, when your perspective changes, your strength changes.

We will continue with more next time.
