Pray and Believe from a Position of Victory

God wants His people to understand that He has seated us in Jesus Christ in the heavens to pray and believe from a position of victory (Ephesians 2:6).  It does not matter what the circumstances, conditions, and challenges that we may face, our identity and position in Jesus never changes.

Pray and Believe

We live in a world that is unstable, unsafe, and uncertain.  People are now facing things that are unprecedented.  So as a church how do we respond to these challenges? We must pray and believe from a position of victory.  We must get our eyes off of these challenges and fix our eyes on the Lord God and remind ourselves of what Jesus and His shed blood accomplished for us on the cross and through His resurrection.

 

Impossible Battle

In Exodus 17: 8-15, the Israelites faced an impossible battle against the Amalekites who had overwhelming resources- men, weapons, horses, etc.  Moses instructed Joshua to go and fight against the enemy while he, Aaron, and Hur went to the top of the hill.  When Moses’ hands were held up Joshua prevailed against the enemy but when his hands became heavy the enemy prevailed.  Aaron and Hur supported his hands and Joshua prevailed against the enemy.  Because Moses, Aaron, and Hur prayed and believed  God gave Joshua the victory.

God the Father made it possible for us to pray and believe with authority because we are seated in Christ.  The enemy is defenseless, therefore, as His church we must proclaim His victory over the enemy on behalf of this nation and its people.  The only reason why we can “fight the good fight of faith” is because He is our Victory.  Amen.
