VICTORIOUS - When Victory Looks Different

Victorious - When Victory Looks DifferentIn this episode of the Power of Twelve Podcast, we explore the word Victorious through the powerful prophecy found in Zechariah 9:9:"Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey..."When we think of victory, we often picture strength, celebration, trophies, and obvious success. But Scripture gives us a very different picture of our victorious King. Jesus entered Jerusalem not on a powerful war horse, but humbly, riding on a donkey.Victorious and lowly. Powerful and humble. King and servant.Together, we discuss how God's victories don't always look the way we expect. Sometimes victory isn't getting exactly what we prayed for or avoiding every difficult season. Sometimes victory is finding peace in the middle of the battle, choosing forgiveness over bitterness, getting back up after disappointment, or simply remaining faithful when life is hard.The cross itself looked like defeat- but it became the place of the greatest victory of all.If you're in the middle of a battle and don't feel very victorious right now, this episode is a reminder that your current circumstances don't determine the final outcome. Jesus was already the victorious King even as He rode toward the hardest part of His earthly journey.Victory doesn't always arrive with a trophy. Sometimes it comes quietly, humbly, and completely differently than we expected.But with Jesus, the victory is already won.Read our Wednesday Weekly Word for more on the topic of VICTORIOUS https://poweroftwelve.org/so/a3Pzc9Juo?languageTag=en&cid=65ad280c-9d5e-486e-9db0-a0e3e644af08Join Debra and Dena every week for our Power of Twelve, Wednesday Weekly Word, your 12-minute mid-week infusion of faith and encouragement.We meet you where you are at in your busy lives, just 12-minutes a week, listen while getting ready for the day, on your car commute to work, in the school carpool line, while working out or any time during the day.Since our beginnings, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Non-Profit Organization upon: Support and encouragement in the word of God in a simple way, building the lives of generations together.
