''Accessing Your Victory as More Than a Conqueror''
Romans 8:37 (NIV):
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."
As believers, to continually walk in the victory of being more than conquerors, we must be consistent and fervent in our prayer life. Prayer is vital. Those who kneel before the Lord do not bow before man. It is through prayer that we invite the Holy Spirit to shape and guide our lives. He enables us to claim our redemptive rights as conquerors.
Prayer is not just a ritual; it is communication—a conversation with God. We call on Him based on His Word and wait for His response. When we pray, God speaks back to us, revealing His will and bringing about change in our lives. In the spiritual realm, prayer acts as a form of warfare, bringing forth all the blessings, promises, and victories that God has already provided for us, from the spiritual realm into our physical lives.
Warring in prayer is more than just words spoken; it is a heartfelt cry to God that stirs His intervention in our lives. There are several reasons why we must engage in prayer and warfare:
1. Prophecies Require Prayer to Be Fulfilled
Sometimes, people wonder why a prophecy hasn’t yet manifested. It’s important to remember that prophecy does not always automatically come to pass. Often, prophecies are delivered, but they need to be prayed through to come to fruition. Demonic forces may hold back the answers, and it’s through prayer that we clear the spiritual atmosphere, releasing God's promises into our lives. As we stand in prayer, we partner with God to see His words come to fruition.
2. The Devil Does Not Relent
The enemy is constantly at work, and household wickedness is on the rise. Matthew 10:36 (NIV) reminds us,
"A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household."
Similarly, Micah 7:6 (NIV) states,
"For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies are the members of his own household."
This highlights that the enemy often works through close relationships to create conflict. Through persistent prayer, we can confront and dismantle these spiritual attacks, ensuring that we walk in victory.
3. Accessing Our Redemptive Benefits
When we pray, we are not only speaking to God; we are also exercising dominion over the physical world through the spiritual realm. Since life begins in the spiritual, what we change in the spirit world will manifest in the natural. Through prayer, we align ourselves with God’s will, claiming the blessings, favor, and protection He has promised.
Warring in prayer has the power to dismantle any obstacles standing in our way. It provides divine protection, safety, and ensures consistent fellowship with God. As we engage in consistent prayer, we deepen our relationship with Him, gaining more understanding and insight into His ways.
In conclusion, prayer is not just a tool for personal growth; it is essential for claiming victory and walking in the fullness of God's promises. Through persistent and heartfelt prayer, we can access our redemptive rights, defeat spiritual opposition, and live out the truth that we are more than conquerors in Christ.
