Victory-minded Believers have Bible-based expectations. They expect a life filled with victory. They expect what the Bible says. Do you expect a life that’s filled with victories?
Victory-Minded Believers Have Sound Minds.
“Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.]”
— 1 Peter 5:8-9
Characteristics of a Sound Mind:
- Realize that Satan is real and he is the real enemy of the believer.
- Understand that trouble is a part of the Christian experience.
- Accept the mandate that resisting Satan and his work is the responsibility of the believer.
You must aim to ultimately come out on top! The only way you do not win is if you become impatient or you quit. The only way you can lose, is if you try to set a certain time for something to happen. Do not become impatient.
- Sometimes we don’t realize that God is doing more than answering our prayers. God is not just about giving something to you — He is growing you.
