Victory through surrender?
Sounds like an oxymoron to my human mind but the only way to experience the thrill of victory is through sweet
surrender. When we think surrender or forfeit we think lose. A country who surrenders in a war, loses. A team that
forfeits a game, loses. A believer that surrenders control, forfeits herself to the Holy Spirit, is victor! Victory is realized
when life swallows death. When death is swallowed by the resurrection life of Christ. The greatest victory of all time is
the resurrection of Jesus Christ! His victory guarantees our victory in the spiritual war of the ages.
To lose your life, surrender all control by faith into His hands. Victory is in Christ but only if we are UNDER Him,
can we be OVER what He has already defeated. We must conquer through surrender to Christ, in order to be
more than conquerors.
Victory for today has already been given to us, so walk in it!
