Triumph“Now thanks be to God who ALWAYS leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” (2 Corinthians 2:14) As you fight the good fight of faith as a soldier in God’s army, remember that the battlefield is in your mind. Whatever you allow to captivate your mind will govern your life. Will it be the Word of God or the lies of satan, the Big Fat Liar? If you want the Word of God to reign, decide to resist the devil whenever he plants seeds of doubts within you. Refuse to surrender to the dire circumstances he brings your way. Make up your mind that you will not succumb to any trial. Dig in your heels and stand solidly upon the promises of God in His Word. When thoughts come that are contrary to God’s will which is in His Word, cast them down and bind them in the Name of Jesus. But above all, don’t worry for worrying is meditating on the thoughts of satan. Worrying is paying interest in advance on troubles that may never come. Worrying is a sin for the Bible commands us NOT to worry but to cast all our cares on God. Worrying is the opposite of faith and idolatry because we put SELF on the throne, taking matters into our own hands. Worry is the darkroom where satan develops your negatives. Don't worry, be happy!! So when you recognize you are worrying, STOP immediately. Replace worried, fearful, and doubtful thoughts with the powerful Word of God. Rest assured, however, that satan will continually tell you your situation is hopeless. He will persistently peddle doubt, defeat, despair and discouragement. But if you won’t allow him to sell you his goods, his paycheck will be zero. If you don’t buy into his lies, he can’t cause them to manifest in your life. Rejoice always, remain in the joy of the LORD, for it is your strength. If satan can’t steal your joy, he can’t keep your goods. God has promised that He will ALWAYS lead you to TRIUMPH in Christ, the Anointed One and His Anointing that removes burdens and destroys yokes. Far better than a lottery ticket in which no psychic has ever won, you are guaranteed victory over any adversity you may face today. You don’t even have to be in Paris to be under the Arc of Triumph God has created for you. Make up your mind NOW to be a winner triumphant and you’ll spread the knowledge of the gospel of salvation, the sweet fragrance of victory in Christ everywhere you go to a lost and hurting world. All you have to do is try, and God will add the “umph” to turn your trial into TRIUMPH. There is no testimony without a test, no message without a mess, and no triumph without a trial.
