The Battle Is Already Won

Today I begin with a Hymn/Poem entitled, "How Beautiful Heaven Must Be" then share "The Battle Is Already Won" from my book, A Course in Christianity. Another book of mine, Advanced Christianity, has a chapter entitled, "The Battle Is Already Won" also. This is a completely different chapter from that book. Then I share another hymn/poem entitled, "Tell Me the Story of Jesus." You will be blessed.

The Battle Is Already Won!

Isn't that great! God is so beyond our squabbles that when we turn from our troubles and embrace Him, the troubles vanish (or become diminished in our hearts).

God blossoms, our small-self fades. God explores in mighty creative currents through our minds, our small-self withers and whimpers dejectedly. God glorifies His creation having established Himself in it, our small self cannot see God, cannot see glory, cannot see at all.

When I say, "The Battle is already won," I mean it. Are you still fighting for your life? The enemy has surrendered but you still lie in trenches, in the mud, facing death and sorrow. Get out of the trenches, rise up, the cross no longer holds our savior, the enemy is defeated.

How do you let go of the war? How do you recognize your victory? You must do something. You can't stay in the trenches and wait for God to rescue you. He already did that! Don't make Him climb back up on the cross to die again for you. If you didn't get it, get it! He did it. It is done. Claim your victory now. What is stopping you?

Yes, what is stopping you. Look at this. It's the enemy. It's Satan. Though defeated by Jesus’s sacrifice, he still roams the earth looking for the weak, uncertain Christians who failed to recognize Christ's victory. Are you one of those?

Satan must crawl out of a hole to tempt you who lie in the trenches. He's down there with you, urging you to be depressed about life and all that it offers you in those trenches. He agrees with your defeatedness, he confirms both your false reasoning and your bleak view. He denies the truth and does everything in his power to make you deny the truth that could set you free.

You can't wait. You must be vigilant for God. You must be excited to exit the trenches and the mud bath you were taking there. Rise up! Rise up! Rise up, once and for all. Do not stay where God does not exist. Repent of your trenchy thinking.

You see no hope? Quit looking where there is no hope. You see no victory? Raise your artillery and fire, now. You are not defeated. The enemy is defeated. Why are you still hanging out with him? Release him and let him slink back into his hole in the ground. You do not need him anymore. There is no justification in believing his armory of untruths. Break free from his weak clutches. Throw away your crutches. Walk holding onto God's Handrail, Jesus. Win in Him!

The kingdom is won by violence. Take authority NOW. Don't succumb to the violence Satan throws at we wishy-washy Christians. Use violence to toss those weak and unworthy thoughts from your powerful God-given mind. You can't be passive in this. The battle that was already won is in your mind, but you must TAKE AUTHORITY NOW!
