Read Psalm chapter 129 VERSE: Psalm 129:2–They have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained victory over me. TRUTH: Israel here is speaking about all the enemies that they have faced and that have come against them. They have indeed been greatly oppressed throughout their history.

Jesus Christ is victorious and through Him, we will also experience victory. We don’t have to feel oppressed as we remember the truth of our victory in Christ. RESPONSE: Father, You are victorious and…

Read Psalm chapter 44 VERSE: Psalm 44:3–It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their right arm bring their victory; it was your right hand, your arm and he light of your face, for you loved them.

Read Judges chapter 8 VERSE: Judges 8:27–Gideon made the gold into an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his town . All Israel prostituted themselves by worshipping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family. TRUTH: Gideon had done so many wonderful things and had allowed God to use him in mighty ways. However, he became prideful and that became a stumbling block. Instead of continuing to worship the God who had given him the victory. He started to worship the gold that he took as a result of the victory. It is easy to get distracted from the One who truly deserves our worship if…

Read Judges chapter 4 VERSE: Judges 4:14–Then Deborah said to Barak, “Go! This is the day the Lord has given Sisera into your hands.

God assured them of the victory, and God went ahead of them to accomplish what He had promised. All Barak had to do was obey. He just had to go forward and walk in the path that God had laid before him. God does the same with us. God has a plan and a path for us, all…

Read 2 Samuel chapter 8 VERSE: 2 Samuel 8:11–King David dedicated these articles to the Lord, as he had done with the silver and gold from all the nations he had subdued. TRUTH: David knew where his victories came from. He always came back and gave the Lord the spoils of war. Do we credit God with the victories in our life? He is responsible for them. Are we willing to dedicate back to Him the blessings that He gives us? They belong to Him anyway. RESPONSE: Father, You are the reason I am victorious in anything and I praise You for that. Anything I gain is Yours because it…

Read 1 John chapter 3 VERSE: 1 John 3:6–No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. TRUTH: When we come to God and repent of our sin, God forgives us and makes us new. Since we are new, we now have new desires and new thoughts. Sure, those old thoughts will still surface and try to lead us astray. However, we can hold fast to God, knowing that He lives in us and through Him, we can be victorious over the temptations that come our way today. RESPONSE: Father, You have given us a wonderful chance…

TRUTH: Even with Christ having the position of authority over all else as King of kings and Lord of lords, evil will still wage war and fight against them. Even though evil knows it will ultimately be defeated, that doesn’t stop it from trying to take as many people down with him as possible. The Lamb will triumph! RESPONSE: Father, I know that You are victorious over evil, both now…

VERSE: 2 Chronicles 13:18–The Israelites were subdued on that occasion and the people of Judah were victorious because they relied on the Lord, the God of their ancestors. TRUTH: God brings victory and we are victorious only when we submit to Him and rely on Him in all things. He fights our battles for us and only by trusting in Him for the victory will we actually be victorious. Who are we trusting to fight our battles today? Will we rely on the Lord?
