Real Victory!
"Now this is the confidence that we have in Him,
that if we ask anything according to His will, He
hears us. And if we know that He hears us,
whatever we
ask, we know that we have
the petitions that we have asked of Him."
1 John 5: 14-15
Ruth Paxson met with a missionary who confessed
her defeated attitude. She no longer found joy in her
Bible or a passion for souls in her heart. Hers was a
joyless, peaceless, powerless life.
She left in the same state, but Paxson
felt the Lord was working and
prayed
for her using 1 John 5:14-15.
Overnight the woman confessed to a
hurt that had robbed her of her victory.
Her joy was back.
Paxon wrote, “Real victory is a glorious and
marvelous change in the innermost recesses of
the spirit which transforms the inner disposition
and attitude as well as the outward
deed and act.”
Do you have victory in your life today?
If not, confess any hindering sin, yield
yourself afresh to Christ, and trust
Him
to work in you today.
"Victory is not a mere blessing, doctrine,
or experience, but it is a Person. To have
Him acknowledged as sole Proprietor of
the whole being and
allowed to act as
such is to be assured of victory over
sin."
Ruth Paxson
