Victory in Jesus

Dear Friends,

Have you ever felt like a failure? Have you ever been discouraged? Did you ever want to quit? Oh how the evil one knows our buttons and loves to push them. I had just finished typing and printing the words below that come from a book entitled: The Saving Life of Christ by Major W. Ian Thomas. It is a book full of truth and life for those who believe! I got a call from a Christian sister who was crying due to a battle she had just endured. She felt she had sinned as she lost control of her temper. Ever been there? Well the beauty of the situation was that she had cried out to Jesus to forgive her but the evil one was still yelling of her failure! She called just as I was about to put this printed paper in my purse. Wow! Does God see your pain? Does He care? Eternity past He saw this sister in distress and had the paper in my hand when she called. Don't tell me He isn't a God who acts on our behalf. First I assured her that she was forgiven 1 John 1:9 and that sin was actually in her past as we spoke, covered by the righteousness of Christ to be rememberd no more as far as the east is from the west. We began praising Jesus for His great love poured out for us. Then I said you must listen to what I have in my hand. It is the greatest truth that has hit my heart in a very long time. I was somewhat down in my Spirit as I began to read this book and God showed me His great love toward me. Please read the following with a believing heart and rejoice in Jesus!




You compromise with Amalek ( your flesh) at your peril! In your flesh dwells no good thing. Spare it if you will but it will never spare you! Presume to find something good in it, when God has wholly condemned it, and the day will come when it will destroy you and rob you of your crown! God says that no flesh will ever glory in His presence. It can only make your body the devil’s plaything, so that he can be incarnate in all you say and do, robbing Christ of His rightful sovereignty in your humanity, whose life alone constitutes the true and only source of genuine righteousness.
Are you still offering to God the best of what God has condemned?
Do not be deceived by Amalek! Resist him with the rod of God held high, appropriating the victory already won. Carve your way through his ranks, for this is your victory, even your faith! Go on and go in, thanking the Lord JESUS for His life, as you have learned to thank Him for His DEATH—for what He is, as you have learned to thank Him for what He DID! Christ is your VICTORY!

Thank you for reading and my prayer for you is that you will find victory for each day in Jesus!
