God's victory
'... These two forces are constantly fighting each other ...' Galatians 5:17
Did you know your life is a bit like a war-zone? I'm not talking Afghanistan or Iraq, but there is a battle going on for your life between God and the devil. And you have the power to help God win.
How? Well, in a battle, each side has strongholds - in other words, bits that belong to them. If you can identify where the devil has a stronghold in your life - the things you struggle with, the times you always mess up - and ask the Holy Spirit to go into those areas and fight alongside you, He will, and God will get the victory there.
No war is won overnight - it takes time to identify the strongholds, seek them out, move forward and bit-by-bit claim back the land. Don't get fed up or give up if things don't suddenly get all fine and dandy within minutes of you praying - it may well take a bit of time.
Make sure you go to God each day, and ask for His help to fight it out in those tough areas. Remember that no battle is too big for God. Check out the story of David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17). It was only by asking for God's help that David won what looked like an already-lost battle. Let God help you. Let Him claim back those areas in your life that He's not ruling over any more, and then you can enjoy living in His victory.
