Fighting from Victory
You don't fight to win. You fight because you've already won through Christ.
There's a crucial difference between fighting for victory and fighting from victory. As a believer, you don't fight to win - you fight because you've already won through Christ. The Canaanite woman demonstrated this principle when she approached Jesus for her daughter's healing. Even when faced with apparent rejection, she didn't give up or become discouraged. She understood that even the 'crumbs' from God's table were sufficient for complete victory. Your position in Christ means you approach every battle from a place of triumph, not defeat. When you pray, you should leave feeling encouraged and expectant, not depressed and hopeless. Faith-filled prayer produces joy and anticipation because you know God hears you and will answer according to His perfect will. Bible Verse 'Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.' - Mark 11:24 (New King James Version) Reflection Question Are you fighting from a position of victory or defeat, and how does this affect your prayer life and expectations? Quote How can you pray for something in faith and come out of the prayer being depressed? Prayer God, help me remember that I fight from victory, not for victory. Fill me with faith and expectation as I pray.
