ASSURED OF VICTORY SPIRITUAL WARRIORS NEED to remind themselves and the enemy that his defeat is an irreversible fact. This is best done by wielding the proclamations of Gods Word against our adversary, whose ruin is sealed. We affirms: Satan is a defeated foe, with a crushed head. There is no power in him, nor are there any means available to him to reach and unseat the Victor of Calvary now seated at the right hand of the Father. It is not for us to fight for victory.... Our fight is from victory; and from this vantage point, empowered with Christs might, and completely enclosed in the whole armor of God, the powers of evil are compelled to back off as we resist them. Scripture encourages us to look beyond the difficult or seemingly impossible circumstances which Satan often uses to weaken our faith. We must fix our spiritual eyes on Jesus- the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2)-who secures the victory. By believing God instead of the lies of the enemy, we cooperate with his plan for victory and confound the enemys plan. Our faith, anchored in Gods Word, need not be shaken by circumstances. I am not to believe what the Word says merely because it agrees with my reason; but I must believe my reason because it aligns with the Word. A carpenter lays his rule to the plank and sees it to be straight or crooked; yet it is not the eye but the rule that is the measure. He can always trust his rule to be right. Our assurance of victory over Satan is based upon the integrity and infallibility of Gods Word, not upon our own interpretation of circumstances. Use the following verses of Scripture to verbally declare your faith in Gods promise, and in his power to fulfill that promise. Your declaration of victory will push back the enemy and immobilize his attack.

(Psalm 106:9-12) To whom will you compare me?

(Isaiah 44:24-26) ... that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know... his incomparably great power for us who believe.

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church... (Ephesians 1:18-22) ... God made you alive with Christ. He forgive us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

Judge carefully, for with the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”(2 Chronicles 19:7) He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice.

(Psalm 44:3, 6-8) He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me,even though many oppose me... With God we will gain the victory,and he will trample down our enemies.

And if we know that he hears us-whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of him... We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. (1 John 5:4-5, 14-15, 18)
