Spiritual Winners


Dear One,
Winning and losing are primarily a mind set, either choosing positives or negatives.
Even in sports games the mental aspect is more important than the physical aspect.
When a physically disadvantaged person performs at the highest level of his abilities, he is winning. He may not have beaten a record or beaten other competitors. However, he is a winner by perseverance, not by standards set by others but by his own abilities. He is a winner because he pushed to the highest level of his own physical abilities.
When a mentally disadvantaged person learns at the highest level of his abilities he is a winner, not by the standards of others but by his own standards because of the limits of his own abilities. He pushes his mind to perform at the highest level according to his mental abilities and that makes him a winner.
All human beings are spiritually disadvantaged people who are under multiple generational curses and must endeavor to resist the dark spirits who try to control them. They are winners every time they resist urges to yield to negative, damaging tendencies. Those are what is called the fruit of the flesh. Refusing to be controlled by their negativity makes My children winners every time you resist them. The tempations then have to flee from you.
You are a winner in My eyes all the time. You must consider yourself a winner because I consider you a winner. Then consider yourself a winner again every time you resist negativity and every time you embrace positive thoughts, attitudes and actions. The positive ones are called the fruit of the Spirit.
Continue to be a winner to yourself and others by walking in My Spirit.
Love, God
Galatians 5;19-26; James 4:7; Romans 8:1 and Romans 8:4
