Full Armor of God: Victory Mindset in the Midst of Battle - Fighting From a Place of Triumph

The battle may be real—but so is your victory.There will be moments when everything around you looks like defeat. The enemy may attack your peace, your confidence, your relationships, your finances, your purpose, and even your faith. You may cry. You may become exhausted. You may question how much longer you can keep standing.But never confuse being in a battle with being defeated.A victory mindset changes the way you fight.When you know who you are in Christ, you stop fighting for victory and start fighting from victory. You stop allowing the circumstances around you to determine what you believe about the God within you.The enemy wants you focused on what you see.God wants you anchored in what you know.You may see the storm, but know that God is still Lord.You may see the closed door, but know that God is still working.You may feel surrounded, but know that you are never abandoned.You may experience a setback, but know that your setback does not cancel God's purpose for your life.Your circumstances do not have the final word. God does.A victory mindset does not mean pretending the battle isn't painful. It means refusing to allow pain to convince you that God has lost control.It means getting back up when you fall.It means praying when you don't feel like praying.It means praising when the answer hasn't arrived.It means trusting when you don't understand.It means standing when everything around you tells you to quit.The enemy wants exhaustion to become surrender. He wants disappointment to become doubt. He wants delay to become discouragement. He wants one difficult season to make you believe your entire story is over.But your story isn't over.You are still standing.And sometimes the greatest evidence that you are winning is that you're still standing after everything that tried to take you down.Victory requires a different mindset. You cannot walk into a battle thinking like a defeated person and expect to live like a victorious believer. You must renew your mind, guard your thoughts, speak God's truth, and remember the promises He has already given you.The question is not, “Will I face battles?”You will.The question is, “How will I face them?”Will you face them with fear—or faith?Will you face them with panic—or prayer?Will you face them looking at the size of the problem—or the greatness of your God?This chapter challenges you to change your position.You are not fighting alone.You are not fighting without weapons.You are not fighting without purpose.And you are not fighting for a victory that God has failed to provide.You are fighting from a place of triumph.So stand tall.Lift your head.Strengthen your faith.Guard your mind.Put on the full armor of God.If you would like to advertise your business, become a sponsor, donate, or have your video played, please visit us at www.linktr.ee/2Gone2LongJFRIf you would like to follow, support, or book your FREE consultation w/Lady V, you can find her at www.linktr.ee/LadyVenpIf you would like to listen in or become a part of The God Crew, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 pm EST/7 pm CST and every Sunday at 9 am EST/8 am CST.
