You want victory? Here it is.

>VICTORY IS A MAN

>"Thanks be to God, Who has given us the victory through our Lord
>Jesus Christ" (I Corinthians 15:57).

>People are looking for a technique or method by which they may work
>out a victory on behalf of Christ. Not surprisingly everyone has
>their own way of waging warfare. Some emphasize intercessory prayer,
>and believe the secret is in getting hundreds of people praying for

>binding and loosing. Others believe the key is in locating and naming
>certain spirits which supposedly control different parts of the
>world. Still others think there must be some prophetic act to be
>performed or declaration to be made.

>Here is the problem with virtually all of these things: they are just
>that - THINGS - methods, techniques, teachings, strategies, but they
>are not Christ. Victory is not this, that, or the other. It is not
>some spiritual thing. Victory is a God-Man. The one in Christ is
>seated with Him in the heavenly places. If we see ourselves in Him
>then we cannot help but understand that since the battle is already
>won, and Victory is ours, then we do not need a method or a technique
>designed to "get" a victory which we already possess.
