Adversity and Victory

There are “no victories in life without tremendous adversity.”

Anytime you are facing adversity or a tough situation, the first line of defense needs to be in your mind. If you allow fear to come in and take root in your thinking, it becomes a stronghold that affects every part of you. But when thoughts of fear come, you don’t have to “sign for the package,” so to speak. Instead of activating fear by meditating on it, believing it and speaking it, you can turn things around and use the truth. Instead of going through the day worried, thinking about how it’s not going to work out, start meditating and thinking on what God says. Activate the truth by speaking the Word of God. Let it sink down inside of you and transform your being. Always remember, His Word is alive, His Word is truth, His Word is your weapon. So take hold of His promises and find where it is written. Are you facing adversity today?
