2. Victory is Resist

Christians are to be sober in spirit and on the alert.

The devil prowls like a lions seeking to devour. But the command of 5:9 is to resist him.

Resist: a)nqiðsthmi : Anthistemi. to set one's self against, to withstand, resist, oppose : to set against .

This does not mean to play with, walk with see how close we can get…. it means to RESIST to actively set yourself against!

When you pray, God listens. He hears what you're saying and he responds. But there's more to prayer than just talking to God. You must be willing to do something about what you've prayed for.

Know That God Is Able to Do All Things.

We often think that we need to do everything ourselves. We believe that we have to work hard to make things happen. But God has given us his power to help us overcome our fears. In fact, he wants to give us victory.

3. Pray with Confidencein the victory

Perseverance- a course of steadfastness

One who is not moved by:

Fear of men - “And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.” [Luke 12:4]

Wiles of the Devil – ”… that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” [Eph. 6:11]

Sorrow & Suffering – “That no man should be moved by these afflictions….” [1 Thess. 3:3]

Prayer is one of the most powerful tools available to us. In fact, Jesus said that "if two of you agree on earth concerning anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven" (Matthew 18:19).

Be Willing to Change Your Mindset.

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that God will never answer our prayers because we haven't done anything to deserve his attention. God wants us to trust him and follow through with whatever he asks us to do.

4. Victory Over Death

I Corinthians 15:55-57

“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Victory over death does not mean will not die, but that we will be raised to a new life.

Ask God to Give You the Faith.

If you believe that God, then you should act on those beliefs. Praying for things isn't enough; you need to take steps to make your salvation

Jesus has the key of death

Rev. 1:18 “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
