What a blessing it is to know that victory is possible. No, it is not talking about a once and for all time kind of victory. If God gave that to us, we would likely tend to drift quickly from Him and no longer seek fellowship with Him. Instead, we must remain close to Him and reliant on Him for victory.

Victory is possible from the moment the new child of God is born into the family of God. Learning how to use it and how to reclaim it when cast down must be learned. For this reason, fellowship with other believers that love God is very necessary.

Note that this verse says that our victory is through faith. It says faith can overcome the world and its lusts and temptations.

Faith is a fruit of the Spirit. We are told, though, that: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). This verse declares that if you want more faith, then, you must get it not by praying for it, not by psyching yourself up, by from time spent in the Word of God.

As you spend time in the Bible, with the intent to do what it teaches, God will increase your faith. Faith is built on the promises, the teachings of the Word, and the character and nature of God.

As we move into the weekend, today may be a good time to spend more time in the Word. Your life will reflect the difference. Victory can be yours.
