Tune in to discover how to stop fighting for victory, and start fighting from the victory Christ has already won!Episode TakeawaysThe Overcoming Blueprint (Revelation 12:11): Victory is not a physical endurance contest! We overcome by the blood of the Lamb (the Atonement), the word of our testimony (spoken truth), and surrendered devotion to God.Total Dependence (2 Chronicles 14): When facing an army of one million soldiers, King Asa didn't scramble for a human alliance. He admitted his total lack of power and rested entirely on God. Overcoming begins the exact second you stop trying to fix the crisis in your own human strength!The Long-Haul Prayers (Matthew 15): Some battles take years. When you are fighting for a struggling child, you must mimic the Canaanite mother who fell at the Savior's feet and refused to walk away.
