He’s setting you up for victory but you’ve got to get out of your way and get into THE Way.
I refuse to be a victim! I’m stubborn that way! Lol! Praise God!
I want His Victory in every area of my life and my children’s.
Friend, you can’t live in victory if you’re always playing the victim. You can’t claim to walk in authority while constantly pointing fingers.
Stop trying to be a victim.
Stop blaming everyone else for where you are.Stop thinking everyone is at fault.
The truth is, growth starts when you take responsibility before God. When you own your part, humble yourself, and let the Holy Spirit correct you that’s when transformation begins.
God can’t heal what you keep defending. You can’t be renewed while clinging to old excuses. It’s time to wake up to the renewing of your mind and burn off the carnal flesh…pride, offense, self-pity, blame, and denial. Because none of that can go where God is taking you.
Victory isn’t just about what Jesus did for you, it’s about what the Spirit is doing in you.
Practical Application
1. Renew Your Mind Daily (Romans 12:2)
Replace victim thoughts with victory thoughts. Every time your mind says “They hurt me,” it doesn’t matter forgive anyway and train your spirit to say, “But God is healing me.”
2. Take Responsibility (Psalm 139:23–24)
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where you’ve been wrong. He won’t condemn you. He’ll convict you, and conviction is the doorway to growth.
3. Crucify the Flesh (Galatians 5:24)
When pride, offense, or blame start rising up, take it to the altar. Let God burn it off so you can walk free.
4. Forgive and Release (Colossians 3:13)
Forgiveness isn’t approval. it’s freedom. When you release others, you release yourself into victory.
5. Walk in Spiritual Authority (Luke 10:19)
You’re not powerless. You carry authority over fear, shame, and defeat but authority only flows through humility.
You can’t live in victory while protecting your victimhood.
You can’t renew your mind while defending your flesh. And you can’t grow if everyone else is always to blame.
Own your part, let the Holy Spirit renew your mind, and step into the victory that Jesus already won for you.
