I was speaking to a friend of mine today. Someone very special to me and whom I hold dear. We were discussing tough times and tough people. I was so inspired by the life that she spoke into me this morning.
In life we go through situations and it is in those situations that our character is defined. However whats important to realise is that God doesn't make situations happen just for the fun of it. I you are a child of God then every situation that you go through is for a reason. There is a lesson that you are suppose to learn from that situation and until you learn what it is that God wants you to learn from that situation, it is impossible to progress from that situation and that is the school of life.
I was so inspired by these words because of the fact that I have been going through a certain situation in my life. In that situation God as shown me victory but however even though I have seen victory in this situation through God speaking to me and telling me to write a testimony about it, I am still struggling to get to the finish line of this situation.
Let me elaborate on that, God as told me that I will OVERCOME, I will WIN, but yet I'm struggling to win at the moment. In fact, I feel that I am losing which is causing me or was causing me to doubt the word of victory that God as put into my life.
After this mornings conversations though, I now understand exactly what to do I order to bring the Victory into actualisation. I know how to bring the Victory from the spiritual into the physical and I would like to share with you how to bring your Spiritual victory into the physical.
Before Jesus descended into Heaven the Bible tells us in John 14 vs 16 that "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever"
Jesus speaks in the verse about leaving the Holy spirit to be our Advocate, comforter, helper. The interpretation behind this verse is that No one needs an advocate, a helper or a comforter unless they are in trouble, going through a period of trails and tribulations and needs assistance. Therefore this verse proves to us that Jesus knew while on earth that we would go through trying times and he knew that he would not be with us "physically" to help us and that is why he left the Holy spirit which the bible tells us is for all of us if we receive him.
If I have received the Holy spirit, he therefore lives in me and if he lives in me and is a part of me then nothing I do can chase the holy spirit away. All the Holy Spirit needs is acknowledgement. Therefore how can I bring my Spiritual Victory into physical, I can do that with the help of the Holy Spirit who is within me and who is my Advocate, Helper, Comforter.
I realised this morning that the mistake that I have been making is 2 very important things that I hope will potentially Change my situation and bring my victory into the physical and those 2 things are the following.
1. The school of life is such that through any hardship there is a lesson that God wants us to learn from it and we cannot progress until that lesson or that character as been built in us. Therefore when faced with a situation in life which seems to be a mountain before us and which does not seem to want to move, we need to ask God to reveal to us and open our hearts to what it is that he wants us to learn from the situation. The word says that if we ask, we shall receive therefore If we ask God to reveal the reason behind a situation to us, he will surely reveal it to us.
2. The second lesson that I realised this morning is that although I know the Holy spirit is in me, I don't give him enough acknowledgement. I have been so caught up in my life that I have not been involving the Holy Spirit in every decision, every challenge, every situation that I have been faced with. Therefore from this day forward, I will consciously acknowledge the presence of the Holy Spirit in me and invite him into everything Good and Bad because although he is a spirit, he is very real and very much a person.
Tough times don't last but tough people do. It's time to toughen up, only the strong survive.
