The Road to Victory. The road to victory is possible for all of us. We can travel on it. We know the way. How do you ask, do we know the way because of the blood shed at Calvary?

Jesus Christ is the road to victory. His Spirit that dwells in us that transforms us, renews us, restores us, and brings us into power. The power to heal, the power to show mercy and grace in difficult situations, not in our strength, but in His. The victory is won, the battle is won, when we trust,t when we surrender, and when we obey.

It's in the moment of surrender, the moment of trust and obedience, walking by faith and not by sight, not knowing the destination but trusting along the
journey as you travel due North seeking your compass as your guide, your internal compass knowing this is the way. It's a narrow road, there are pitfalls, setbacks, stops along the journey you didn't think you were going to make maybe there was a detour and you had to go a different pathway, maybe a side road but as long as you keep your eyes on the Cross you will have victory in Christ Jesus. It's the power that works in and through us, the strength that being a believer brings. We are translated into the Kingdom of Light out of the kingdom of darkness. We no longer worry, we don't have fear, we have power, love, and a sound mind, because we know we never journey alone, we are never alone. Jesus is with us. He is in us, guiding us, offering us strength, sustaining us. He is life. He is life eternal. All that He is is in His name. All that we need is Jesus. Put first the Kingdom of God and all else shall be given unto us. This is where victory lies: recognizing who we are as followers of Christ, that we are seated in heavenly places, that we've already won the battle. The victory is already ours; we need to believe it, know it, and see it. There's an internal knowing we just have to walk in our authority as believers the devil is under our feet. satan, the Lord rebuke you. That's all we ever need to say: satan, the Lord rebuke you. It is written. It is written. It is written. We win every battle when we position ourselves in a place of victory, not defeat. When we change our perspective, when we no longer are controlled by flesh but by a renewed sense of strength, a renewed mind that only comes through complete surrender to our Lord and Jesus, or to our Lord Jesus, our savior, Lord Jesus Christ. That's where the victory is won. It's in Jesus, not in our own strength, not out of our own merits, our own works; there's nothing we can do in and of ourselves. It's in surrender knowing that we are under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and that we are in His army; He's our commander-in-chief. He gives us our marching orders. We are here on this earth but for a season. Seasons come, seasons go, and one day we will walk along that road to victory that ends at our eternal destination, which is in heaven, that's our home. That's our home, and when you realize we're here for a purpose, just for a moment, you long to do the will of Father to remember the work on the Cross. The Blood shed at Calvary, the tears, the bloody sweat, the Garden of Gethsemane moment. Everything that our Savior endured because of His love for us, the sheep of His pasture. He loved us so much that He died for us. Who does that? There is no problem you're facing, there is nothing that you're walking through right now that Christ can't use to position you in a place of purpose. Even our pain and afflictions have a purpose, and our suffering has a purpose. For it's in our wounds, in our weak moments, that we become, persevere, and endure. All that we are is in Christ Jesus. His sacrifice, His life. We are under the Head, which is Jesus. We are his body, His church, His purified bride. Cleanse us of all unrighteousness, oh, God. Lord Jesus, light our path, show us the way, show us the way, show us the way, because victory is found in Christ Jesus. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus.
