基督徒很多, 他們沒有經歷過勝利的生活，而是經歷過失敗的生活，並想知道自己做錯了什麼. 也許你是其中之一併且想知道, 為什麼你在生活中沒有經歷過勝利? Are you tired of applying all kinds of methods and techniques without any result? Let’s have a look at what the Bible says about victory and living a victorious life and what you should do to have victory in life.
Delivered from the kingdom of darkness
在你之前 重生, you were a slave of the devil and walked according to his will; the will of your flesh. You were led by your flesh and ruled by your senses, while you lived in darkness.
Until Jesus came into your life and you repented of your sin. Jesus delivered you from the darkness and transferred you into the Kingdom of God, into the Light (另請閱讀: 悔改的呼召).
Your senses, 將要, 想法, 感情, 情緒, 私慾, 慾望, ETC. commanded you what to do.
While your soul and your flesh were alive, 你的精神死了.
The blood of Jesus cleansed you from all your sins and iniquities.
By Jesus’ redemptive work and by His blood, you were made righteous and holy.
You were not made holy and righteous because of what you’ve done and your works, but by the finished work of Jesus Christ.
用耶穌的血, you’ve entered a New Covenant. Through Christ, you’ve been reconciled with the Father and have become a son of God and a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.
The old has passed away, 萬物已經成為新事物
By faith in Jesus Christ and by becoming born again in the spirit, you’ve become a son of the Almighty God; 天堂和地球的創造者. You may call God your Father, because through Jesus Christ you have received His Spirit. He has become your Father, and you have become His son (這適用於男性和女性).
神的本質; the Holy Spirit dwells in you. God has given you power through Jesus Christ to become a son of God and walk as a son of God, 在他的遺囑之後.
但是盡可能多, 他們賦予他成為上帝兒子的力量, 甚至對他的名字相信: 哪些出生了, 不是血的, 也不出於肉體的意志, 也不以人的意志為轉移, 但出於上帝 (約翰 1:12-13)
Getting to know your Father through the Word
It all comes down to getting to know your Father. You can only get to know the Father through Jesus Christ; 這個單字. There’s no other way to get to know God than by His Word.
When you take His Word; 聖經, and read and study His words, 你會 更新你的想法; 你的思維方式.
When you renew your mind and apply His words in your life, you shall walk according to His Word after the Spirit.
When you study the Word of God, you shall find out what the will of God is and你到底是誰 在他裡面.
You shall find out what you’ve inherited in Jesus Christ. I’m not talking about money or material things, but I’m talking about the Holy Spirit.
As long as you stay ignorant and stay a child, the inheritance you’ve been given shall profit you nothing. You shall still be a servant instead of walking in dominion as a son of God.
現在我說, 那個繼承人, 只要他還是個孩子, differs nothing from a servant, 儘管祂是萬有之主 (加拉太書 4:1)
You are a co-heir in Jesus Christ
You have become a co-heir in Jesus Christ. You have received the Spirit of God: 聖靈. 他住在你裡面. 你已經成為 新的創造, a new species. Although you live on this earth, you no longer belong to this world. You will no longer be a slave of darkness and be ruled by your flesh. But you have become a slave of Christ and shall walk after the Spirit.
You are no longer under the dominion of the devil and his angels, 但是你是 坐在耶穌基督里 在天上, having authority over them.
But as long as you don’t study His Word, you shall stay ignorant of your new position and God’s will and what He has given you. If you don’t know what you’ve been given, 你不能走.
When you only read the Bible occasionally and don’t apply the words to your life, then the words will only remain written words and shall never become alive in you. You shall not bear the fruit of the Spirit, but shall remain bearing the fruit of the flesh.
But when you feed yourself with the Word of God, 用他的話更新你的想法, and speak His words and apply His words to your life, you shall walk in His Word, and you shall spiritually mature and walk as a son of God in His will.
Jesus has given you power to walk as a son of God
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God (約翰 5:17-18)
It is not just something, to call yourself a son of God. When Jesus called God, 他的父親, the Jews became so angry with Jesus, that they wanted to kill Jesus. 耶穌稱神為神, 他的父親, and therefore Jesus made Himself equal with God.
Think about that for a minute, because that’s really something. God has made you, 在耶穌基督里, equal to Him.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. 他為誰預見了, 他還預定了符合兒子的形象, 他可能是許多弟兄中的長子 (羅馬書 8:28-29)
並以您的思想精神更新; 你們穿上了新人, 在上帝以公義和真正的聖潔創造之後 (以弗所書 4:23-24)
並穿上新人, 在創造他的形象之後，知識恢復了知識: 那裡既沒有希臘人也沒有猶太人, 包皮環切術和非割禮, 野蠻人, Scythian, 債券也沒有免費: 但是基督就是全部, 總的來說 (歌羅西書 3:10-11)
You live in Jesus Christ and have been made in His image, which means that you should be and walk like Jesus and do the works that Jesus did, when He walked on this earth. 是的, Jesus even said, that you will do greater things, 因為他去了父親.
實實在在, 實實在在, 我對你說, He that believes on me, 我所做的工作也要做; 比他要做的更大的工作; 因為我去找父親 (約翰 14:12)
That’s what Jesus promised us, 因為他去了父親, and is now seated at His right hand. He overcame the devil. He bound the strong man, now it’s up to you, what you’re gonna do with this victory.
A child is subjected to powers
As long as you stay carnal and keep walking after the flesh instead of the Spirit, you shall stay a child and shall not grow up into His sonship.
When you stay a child, you shall be subjected to the powers and forces of the darkness. You shall not be able to rule over the powers of darkness and have victory over sin, because you are carnal and operate from your flesh in your own power (另請閱讀: 在思想控制你之前先控制你的思想!).
But when you take your position in the Word, 在耶穌基督里, 順從聖靈, only then you shall reign in Christ, in His authority over sin and the powers of darkness; over all demonic forces and powers, and elements of the world. 當您 walk in the dominion of Jesus Christ, you shall have victory in life.
The devil tries to keep Christians asleep
The devil and his minions are adversaries of God and they know that as soon as believers become born again and start walking in the authority of Jesus Christ after the Spirit, they become a threat and a danger for his kingdom. Therefore the adversaries of God try everything they can to keep Christians asleep.
They keep Christians asleep through their ignorance and by keeping them away from the Word of God.
The devil knows that the Word of God is dangerous for his kingdom, because the Word is alive and quick, powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword (哦. 以弗所書 6:17, 希伯來 書 4:12).
Therefore the devil and his minions use many distractions, cares of life, and sources of entertainment, like television, 賭博, 電影, 劇院, musicals, 俱樂部, 運動的, social gatherings, 社群媒體, ETC.
But not only do they use these sources, to keep them distracted, away from the Word, and keep them in carnal bondage. They also use wrong doctrines in the church, to deceive many (另請閱讀: ‘侮辱上帝的錯誤教義').
They shall do EVERYTHING they can, to bring Christians on the wrong track of life. The devil and his minions have many tactics.
That’s why it’s so important to 推遲老人 並到 穿上新人 順從聖靈, so that you will be able to discern these ‘dangers’. The Holy Spirit will always expose these dangers. He will show you what is behind the natural realm.
現在我說, that the heir, 只要他還是個孩子, differs nothing from a servant, 儘管祂是萬有之主, 但在父親任命之前一直由導師和州長領導 (加拉太書 4:1)
As long as you stay a child, 並隨從肉體而行, you shall not differ anything from a servant. Therefore you shall not be able to walk as a son. Because a child is subjected to the spirits of this world. That’s why it’s so important to grow up fast and start walking as a son, so that you will reign over the darkness, instead of the darkness reigning over you. 作為上帝的兒子, it’s your task to represent and bring the Kingdom of God on this earth.
How do you spiritually mature?
By believing the Word of God, studying His Word, and applying His words in your life. 聖靈是你的老師. 他將教你一切真理. When you take the words of God and plant them in your life as seeds, you should guard them and protect them, so that no one will rob these seeds from you.
Guard and protect the seeds in your heart, and don’t let any doubt enter your heart. Meditate on the Word of God, 日夜, so that you become steadfast in the Word.
Your way of thinking should be renewed, so that your way of thinking is in line with the Word of God. If you have the mind of Christ, you shall think the way God thinks, and do the things that God wants you to do. 當你這樣做時 他的意志, you shall please Him and exalt Him.
When you are going through a hard time, take the words of God into your mouth, and speak against situations, 危險, 想法, 病, 疾病, ETC. 不要放棄, and you shall experience victory.
How to have victory in life?
You will have victory in life, when you become a doer of the Word and build yourself up in the faith. Persevere and don’t give up!
At this point, many Christians fail, because they often do give up. The devil knows this, so he shall strive a little bit longer in order to gain victory. The devil knows that immature Christians walk after the flesh and are sense-ruled. 所以, when Christians don’t see anything happening in the natural realm, they will eventually give up instead of persevering.
Many Christians are often not disciplined and stay ignorant. When they hear a sermon, or attend a seminar, they are passionate, and all fired up, ready to win the whole world for Jesus Christ. But as soon as there comes opposition, they give up.
Therefore persevere and don’t give up. Stand on the Word, and keep speaking the Word. You know one thing for sure, and that’s that you shall win! Because Jesus has the victory. 只要你留在耶穌基督裡, you will be seated in Him and shall have victory in Jesus Christ.
