“Undisputed Champion”
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Scripture Contemplation: John 16; Romans 12; 1 John 2; 4; 5…
If there is anything that I have learned this past week, it is that no matter what you are faced with; no matter what comes your way, if you are in God and believe what He has spoken to you, you will come through. It may not feel like it. It may feel as though you have lost the battle. Yet, because Christ is, so are we: Undisputed Champions.
I declare and decree that this week’s Reflection will be a source of continued encouragement and inspiration for your heart, mind, and soul. Whatever you may be faced with in this life; always remember that as long as you are in Christ, you have already won, and the enemy has already been defeated.
I won’t be before you too long this week, as I am currently experiencing the Flu. I have never had the flu before. And let me tell you; if you never prayed before getting the flu, most certainly you begin when your body is under such attack.
This is what I know for certain: EVERY situation in life is an opportunity to learn something new. To learn something new about yourself, and about our Heavenly Father, and just how low the enemy will go.
There was definitely a mental war being waged against me. In a weakened state, where your defenses are down, your body is in so much pain, you can barely think clearly, the enemy will find a way to slip in and try to undermine who you are and your authority in Christ. Very subtle in his machinations, the enemy will most certainly try to have you doubt God, or the power of prayer, or that God is a healer. And if he cannot get you to doubt God, he will try and get you to doubt yourself. He will have you question your faith, your walk, and your belief.
But as we both know and understand, the devil is a lie! He has already been defeated, and we are the champions. No matter how hard he tries. How he may try to rewrite history; he can’t. He is the undisputed LOSER! And we, in Christ, are the undisputed CHAMPIONS.
1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
I thought this morning; about writing Reflections or just re-posting one from a few years ago. I have almost seven years of written Reflections. Then I thought about Christ and the fact that He is my strength, my fortress, my healer; He will give me the strength to share His word today, and after I am done, I can rest,
Yes. Greater is He who is in us than he who is in this world. There is nothing the enemy can do to change the fact that Christ overcame the world, and because He did, we can also. Because Christ defeated death and the grave and gave us the keys of life, we are the winners should we believe on Him, and walk in His light; being born again into a brand new life. Certainly, we will have our moments in this world we live in, We will we be attacked on every side. We will suffer terribly at times. We may lose everything at one time or another. Yet, it doesn’t change the fact that we are the victors. That, the death and resurrection of Christ sealed our victory for eternity.
Whatever it may be that you are facing today. Whatever attacks the enemy may want to come at you with; just remember that God already declared you the winner. Because Christ is, you are…an undisputed Champion.
I decree that the spirit of peace and prosperity will find permanent rest in every area of your lives. There is nothing more comforting than knowing that the war has already been won. That, the battle is indeed the Lord’s, and still claim the title of undisputed Champion. Don’t accept the lies of the enemy. You already won, and he’s already been defeated. Now go claim your title! You are Blessed. Now go…and Be a Blessing.
