How To Have A Vic­to­ri­ous Life In Christ

Fill your head and your heart with the Scrip­tures. Take the time each day to read God’s Word.  Real­ize God’s Word is the Lord Man­i­fested in the Word.  Mem­o­rize pas­sages from the Word, with the name of the book, the chap­ter, and the verse, so that you can quote the scrip­ture cor­rectly.  As you do this, you are sow­ing in your heart seeds which the Spirit of God can ger­mi­nate. He can bring to your remem­brance from time to time that which you have once memorized.

A Quote from a Famous Preacher, Smith Wig­glesworth says “You must soak your mind  (your soul)with the Word of God, you must fill it, that you are a liv­ing epis­tle, known and read of all men. Believ­ers are strong only as the Word of God abides in them. The Word of God is spirit and life to those who receive in sim­ple faith, and it is a viv­i­fied of all who own its sway. Know your Book, live it, believe it, and obey it. Hide God’s Word in your heart. It will save your soul, quicken your body, and illu­mine your mind. The Word of God is full and last, infal­li­ble, reli­able, and up-to date, and our atti­tude towards it is one of unques­tioned obe­di­ence. If a thing is in the Bible it is so; it is not even to be prayed about; it is received and acted upon. Inac­tiv­ity of faith is a rob­ber which steals bless­ing. Increase comes by action, by using what we have and what we know. Your life going from faith to faith.”

The Sec­ond thing to do is spend­ing time with God by get­ting alone with God for spir­i­tual renew­ing.  Jesus did it when he was on earth.  We read sev­eral times that he would get away to spend time alone with God.  If you want great anoint­ing and great power to move moun­tains, it takes read­ing His Word, Study­ing His Word, and Mem­o­riz­ing His Word.

Why do we read about so many men in the faith falling?  I asked the Lord and He told me because they got to busy to spend time with God.  How can the Lord con­vict souls if they are not being inti­mate with the Lord!  When you spend qual­ity alone time with God, you get close and He reveals secrets to you — great rev­e­la­tion of His Word.  He imparts great anoint­ing for the Work of the Ministry.

It is only through God’s Word are we truly trans­formed into the image of Christ.

Third ingre­di­ent is humil­ity.  A per­son must real­ize, when they have great anoint­ing, is to stay hum­bled but not only that to be moved with compassion.

Fourth ingre­di­ent is have a hatred for sin and be a lover of right­eous­ness — God’s right­eous­ness.  That means putting away the things of the world and becom­ing a ser­vant of the Lord Most High.

Fifth, stay hun­gry for the Lord and His presence.

Quote from Smith Wigglesworth:

“Any­one can be ordi­nary,” he would say, “ but a per­son filled with the Holy Spirit must be extra­or­di­nary.”

Sixth, be filled with the Holy Spirit and stay filled daily.

The power that raised Him from the dead must ani­mate us, and as this glo­ri­ous res­ur­rec­tion power surges through your being, you will be freed from all your weak­nesses and you will become strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. There is a res­ur­rec­tion power that God wants you to have and to have it today. Why not? Receive your part here and now.

Seven, obedience to Christ at all cost.  Don’t get caught up and fear of man.  You don’t have time for fear of man or their opin­ions.  Those peo­ple will not save you and so God is the most impor­tant per­son you want to please in your life.
