Our Fight Starts With Victory


Hebrew 4:16 - Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.


If you have been praying for mercy and grace, here's a reminder: We have already been given all the mercy and grace that we would ever need, we only need to come and receive it. Praise God for it!


This mercy and grace - is not because of what we did but only because of something someone else did. It is due to Jesus Christ that all mankind can receive all the mercy and grace that they need. We just need to have faith in Him to receive it.


A proof of this is; if you read the Bible before Jesus, there is no scripture where due to faith a person has been healed. It is only after the birth of Jesus we find scriptures which state people were healed due to faith. Faith allows us to tap into the abundant grace and mercy already made available. The Blood sacrificed of Jesus has confirmed this resource for us forever. Therefore the boldness is nothing but the faith which we need to have in Jesus and His Blood sacrifice to receive all the grace and mercy we need.

In overcoming temptations; we need to tell ourselves we already have the grace and mercy therefore we have already overcome it. When we do this with faith, we are taping into the grace and mercy and actually overcome the temptation. Thus our fight starts with victory.


[Prayer]

Father God, I thank You for the abundant grace and mercy we have received by your Son. We thank You for confirming it for us by His Blood sacrifice. I am an overcomer and victorious over all my circumstances because of Him. Help me remember this all times. I ask this in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[Reference Scriptures]

1 Corinthians 15:57-58

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

1 John 5:1-4

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
