We cannot, as Christians, afford to measure our victory by our pain.
Pain will tell you that you lost, but God will tell you that you won because you're still in the fight. Because what the enemy thought had you could not kill you.
The fact that you're still here, the fact that you're still breathing, the fact that you still have a heart that loves God. The enemy lost. And yeah, it's hard right now. But you got to remember who's fighting your battles.
The battle is not yours. And when you have no strength, the Bible says his strength is made perfect in your weakness. And all you have to do is speak the word over yourself.
I'm the head and not the tail. I'm above and not beneath. The battle is not mine, but the battle is the Lord's.
He has given me power and authority over serpents and scorpions and every power of darkness in this present world. You're still here, so you're not defeated.
