Victory During Difficult Times

March 9, 2018 by Mary

The Lord upholds all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.

Psalms 145:14

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.

Psalms 34:17

Lord, thank you for making me victorious! You are my constant help in trouble, supplying my every need. Because I trust in you, I have victory in all areas of my life. I have good favor with others, good favor in my health, finances and family life. I do not doubt during times of trouble because you are my refuge and strength. Amen.

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28

Have there been times during your life when you felt the comfort of God during difficulty? If so, describe a few:

Can you think of some ways God helped you to live victoriously, even during your most difficult times? List a few:

Victorious Living Day 15: Victory in Illness

October 17, 2017 by Mary

If you live with a chronic illness, you know that this is an area where we need daily victory. Living in a body that is sick challenges us in ways that a healthy person could not understand. Waking each morning, not knowing what the day will bring or how we will be able to function, changes something inside of us. If we aren’t careful, we can allow that to define us, rather than living from victory to victory because we are the children of the most high God.

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Revelation 3:21

Jesus faced great adversity during His time here on earth. He came in the flesh so that He could be one with us, understand our suffering and teach us that we can overcome, if we believe. He doesn’t promise to heal us but He promises to help us live victorious lives despite suffering and one day we will sit with him in His throne, where there will be no more suffering.

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

1 Peter 5:7

Casting ALL OF OUR CARES upon him, we move out of the rut of illness, to victory. For he hears us when we cry, he sees when we are torn to pieces because the things we had hoped for or dreamed seem so far away due to our physical limitations. Living victoriously in Christ demands a minute by minute surrender, especially when we are trying to fix things on our own. Our minds focus on what we can do to alleviate the suffering, how we can fix our bodies, what we did right, what we did wrong. But Christ says to cast all of our cares upon HIM. For He cares for us. He is the GREAT PHYSICIAN.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Ephesians 3:20-21

Dear Lord, we claim victory over illness! You are the Great Physician, able to heal and restore vitality to a weary body. We confess victory over our health today! For you are able to do exceedingly abundantly all that we could ever ask or think. We will hold tightly to the hem of your garment and BELIEVE that your word accomplishes what it says it will! We need not worry about this present darkness, as You have already begun to heal that which the enemy has tried to steal. Amen.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40: 29-31

If you are suffering with illness, great or small, God gives us power and strength to endure and not grow weary. Lean into him today and you shall run and not be weary; walk and not grow faint. For He cares for you. He can take your burdens and replace them with hope.

We are victorious in all things through Christ Jesus.

Victorious Living Day 12: Victory in the Midst of Loss

October 13, 2017 by Mary

Lord, whatever comes in this life is nothing compared to the beauty and peace you have for me in heaven. While I am saddened over loss in my life, I know that you are the great Physician, the Healer of my heart, Perfecter of my faith and Redeemer of all that I have lost. I will trust in you and find my comfort in you, Lord, for you are good and faithful. I know that you will never leave me or forsake me. Amen.

Praise God that He is the great Physician and is able to redeem me from sickness, loss and death.

but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31

Those of us who are in the faith shall have our strength renewed when we go through loss. The passage applies to the believer in that it is implied that our strength shall be “renewed”, meaning that we have already experienced spiritual strength.

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Don’t lose heart, even though it seems that the things around you may be falling apart. In Christ we are renewed, our souls are strengthened and our spirit grows roots. It is through the unseen things that we learn how deeply we depend upon God and trust in His promises. The premise of our faith is that there is eternal glory beyond what we can see. Let us be reminded of this promise as we suffer from glory to glory.

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.

Psalms 46:1

We are encouraged to trust in the Lord and His refuge for us in the worst of times. His Divine providence gives us strength when we are in need.

Have there been times in your life when you have experienced loss? If so, how did your faith bring you victory through grief?

Think about those experiences and give thanks to God for helping you withstand loss and find victory in the midst of it.

Victorious Living Day 11: Victory Over Adversity

October 12, 2017 by Mary

Have you ever been through a season of adversity? If so, you will understand that sometimes we get so caught up in the middle of our situation that we forget how to pray. If we prayed, we might not even know what to pray for because the problems before us seem larger than our ability to express them in words.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28

Although we may live through loss, grief, strife or setbacks, we are justified by our faith, “called according to his purpose.” God has a plan and a purpose for it all and as we walk through it, He is refining our faith, working all things together for good. Our endurance is strengthened through our individual experiences in adversity, giving us spiritual wisdom and deepening our dependence on God.

fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

This tender and beautiful verse was originally meant to bring peace to the hearts of the exiled Jews who had been held captive in Babylon. It was a time of suffering for them and only a loving God could give rest to their weary souls, “fear not, for I am with you;”. We can apply this passage of scripture to our present situation. God is never changed, never moved. His word is true and remains faithful through the generations. We can apply it to our daily living, just as the captives in Babylon. Why should we be afraid when God tells us he will strengthen us and help us? God is all-power and able to sustain, protect and enable us to endure hardship. In this…we are victorious.

Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.

Psalms 55:22

Whatever we are struggling with in our daily living, we can cast it upon the Lord. By faith and through prayer, we release our present trials to Christ and He upholds us. Oh, how much richer our lives would be, how much more healthy and full of joy our daily living if we were to cast upon the Lord, our troubles! For some, we fail to communicate with God in our time of adversity because we do not want to relinquish control. We think that we can do it our way and it will work out the way we planned. When we cast our burden upon the Lord, we are surrendering and asking for His will to prevail, for His power to take over our situation.

How often have YOU tried to control a situation where you felt powerless? How much more power would you have if you gave your burdens to Christ?

Let’s pray:

Father God, I know that I am victorious over this present adversity for you give me the strength to carry on. When I release my burdens to you, mountains fall down. When I believe and confess that you are all powerful and have my best interest at heart, you give me the strength to endure. I praise you, that through my adversity, you sustain me. Amen.

Take time today to think about what it would look like and how it would feel in your spirit to give your burdens to the Lord. Write down the adversities that you are currently facing:

Think about the many ways you can praise God for helping you to overcome adversity and bring you to victory over these situations. Write three praises:

Write a prayer of victory today. Give God thanks for the many burdens He bears for you.
