Some days I want to surrender because it feels like the enemy is winning. When doubt clouds my view, I remind myself God wins every battle in the end. 

God wins even when I think it’s hopeless. His light can shine even where the darkness has reigned for quite a while.

God wins even when I am too weak to keep trying. No obstacle is too heavy for God to move out of the way.

God wins when everyone else says it’s over. He can make a way where there seems to be no way.

I may not like the place He has positioned me right now, but I can’t experience the victory until I surrender to His Sovereign battle plan and trust He is fully in control.

God does not work on my timetable, but He is always at work. He is fighting for us, and He always triumphs over evil.

Do you feel defeated right now? Don’t let the enemy of your soul drag you into the pit of despair. Your situation is not desperate. You have God’s Angel Army on your side, and you have no reason to fear.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?

Psalm 27:1, NASB

You don’t need to wave the white flag and believe that your situation is unfixable. The strongholds blocking the way before you will eventually fall. God knows exactly what is going on in your life, and He has promised to redeem every heartbreak you’ve experienced. He will fight in the heavenly realm. He will fix what the enemy has disrupted. He never fails to deliver those who delight in Him.

Friend, this isn’t just your battle. It’s God’s battle. Your job is to just stand firm in your faith and believe God will do what you cannot.

How to Position Yourself for Victory during your Battle:

Take your eyes off all the upheaval in your life and focus on God’s overcoming power.

 When our eyes are on our problems, we feel like we are drowning. But our God is Lord of the winds and waves. Your God speaks “peace be still” over your life and gives you strength to stay standing even when the storm rages around you. God will give you exactly what you need to persevere, and He will protect you.  

• “The Lord sits enthroned over the engulfing waters, the Lord sits enthroned as the eternal king. The Lord gives His people strength; the Lord grants His people security.” (Psalm 29:10-11, NET)

Stand your ground in prayer and trust God will hold you up. 

Even though you may feel defeated right now, you cannot give up the fight. You are standing up for all that is right and holy and redemptive in your home and for your community. You may get knocked down temporarily, but with God’s help you can get on your knees and witness the enemy’s strongholds fall down. Pray on, sister! 

• “No one can be established through wickedness, but a righteous root cannot be moved.” (Proverbs 12:3, NET)

Rest in God’s love and believe He will bring a redemptive outcome.  

You will experience the ultimate victory in the end. The enemy will not prevail because God is in your corner. The Savior who laid down His life to rescue you from the pit of hell will not stop saving you.

• “By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me.” (Psalm 41:11, ESV)

Today, we can choose to say no to fear and stand firm on a foundation of faith. We can remember the enemy is a defeated foe and rise up with confidence to claim our victory. Instead of stressing out and crying out to God from a position of defeat, we can thank Him in advance for how we know He is going to win this battle.

When the storm passes through, the wicked are swept away, but the righteous are an everlasting foundation. (Proverbs 10:25, NET)

You are under God’s wing, and His faithfulness will shelter you. You are His, and He always protects His own. One day soon, you will be set free to soar. Until then, you can sing His praises right where you are and make the enemy mad that He messed with you.

Like a bird protecting its young, God will cover you with His feathers, will protect you under His great wings; His faithfulness will form a shield around you, a rock-solid wall to protect you.

Psalm 91:4, VOICE

Trust God will turn things around in His time. It may not be when you want it or look exactly like you expected…. But His plans are more perfect than ours. The victory will be sweeter than you thought. He may be stretching you right now, but that stretch will lead to greater growth, more goodness, and unbelievable glory.

Don’t let a temporary defeat deceive you. God always triumphs and defeats the enemy.
