Turn your eyes towards me again and not towards what the enemy is doing. Keeping your eyes on me will lead you always to a place of victory. When your eyes fall away from me your countenance moves downward. You do not walk in defeat, but you come from a place of victory. The battle between good and evil has already been played out and I am the victor for all eternity. I have brought you out of a place of darkness and you have no reason to hang your head. You are my heirs, my crowned victors, instead!
See yourselves as I see you. See yourselves as victors with crowns upon your heads. You have nothing to fear when YAHWEH is near. I am your conquering hero and all you have to do is look to me to fight your battles. Look to me for strength supplied to stand against the enemy. You have nothing to fear when YAHWEH is near!
Many adversaries and obstacles will come and go, but you have me with you so there’s nothing to stop you, but the spirit of Fear. Whose voice will you listen to when it comes to decision making time? Will you listen to an inferior voice trying to defeat you, or will you listen to your Father’s voice that will lead you to a promised victory? I leave these choices up to you, the choice is always yours, but I am here to say to you – today is your day of victory!
You can count the cost all you want, but know my hand is with you and will not let you down. You are guaranteed victory in this day and time. I will see to it you will not be let down. Remember always, you are my victors’ wearing crowns that were placed there by Me. How deep is my love for you, how much have I given to you, to be prosperous and victorious as you live your life in me. There is nothing that can hold you back, except when you gaze at Fear in your rear-view mirror. That is not where you are going and that is not where I am taking you to. Get used to the feeling of victory, for that is where I am taking you to.
Hebrews 12:2a The Passion Translation
2We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection.
1 Corinthians 15:57-58 The Passion Translation
57But we thank God for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. 58So now, beloved ones, stand firm, stable, and enduring. Live your lives with an unshakable confidence. We know that we prosper and excel in every season by serving the Lord, because we are assured that our union with the Lord makes our labor productive with fruit that endures.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 The Passion Translation
9But he answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So, I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me. 10So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to God’s power.
1 Peter 1:23-25 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
23 You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God.
24 For all flesh (mankind) is like grass, and all its glory (honor) like [the] flower of grass. The grass withers and the flower drops off,
25 But the Word of the Lord (divine instruction, the Gospel) endures forever. And this Word is the good news which was preached to you.
Joshua 1:9 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
9 Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Dismayed – Disheartened; deprived of courage.
