"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12
Selected Devotion from Words of Hope for Today
God has never lost a battle
The other day the Lord reminded that He had never lost a battle. He reminded me that He was fighting my battles every time I was in sync with Him and trusting Him. I can fight my own battles but victory is not guaranteed or I can let Him do the fighting. He always wins. For a lot of people, every day is a battle. God has won those battles. He has won every day. He has created the days so we should rejoice and be glad in them. Nothing will ever be all perfect. There will always be some glitches and some hiccups but God has already seen them and He has a plan to fix all the mishaps and to make things right. I don’t know what battles you are facing today but I can say that you don’t have to face them alone. God has never lost a battle and we should invite Him into our battlefields. He has so much grace and mercy that sometimes He is there without our asking for His help. It is just amazing. He does want us to walk in faith and believe that when we entrust our battles to Him, He wins.
God is going to win every battle you give Him. The victory might look different from what you expect but He will win. He has already won. Expand the vision of what God can do for you. Expect a victory that is like no other. Picture what your mind can’t see. Use faith to depict that triumphant picture and stick with faith. Your darkest moments in your most violent battles don’t compare to the bright days of victory that are ahead of you. Jesus did it all and He is giving you the victory. Stay in peace and stay encouraged. Trust the process and thank Him that He has you in the palm of His hand. You are going to make it and you are going to be more than fine. The current battles are no match to your ever-present God. He hasn’t lost a single battle in the past and He is not going to start losing today.
The Lord said that in this world we would have tribulations but we should take courage because He has already conquered the world. Everything that will ever take place in this world was conquered by Jesus. Everything that happens in 2020 and that will happen in 2021 and in the years after that, was conquered by the Lord. Your deliverance might not be obvious today but it will come. The day of recognition is coming. The day of retribution is coming. The day of victory is coming. Knowing that and believing that, you can have a God celebration today. Don’t wait for the manifestation to have a celebration. Rejoice every day. Thank God that He never loses battles and He won’t lose yours. There is a shout of victory in Heaven. Adopt that shout and make it yours. Be in harmony with Heaven. Heaven sings of the victory of the Lord. Be of one accord and sing along. God has never lost a battle and He is preparing your victory as we speak. This week you might face some battles but remember that God has never lost a battle. Talk to Him about your struggles and listen to His comforting voice. He has won for you. Stay in faith!
