Why fight when you are already a victor?

-


We are called victorious, and we are victors in Christ! Then why fight? 




I was always taught we are called to climb up the ladder and reach the right side of the father to be seated there with him, and then we would be titled victorious. 

So the fight was always to reach that place and how to get there and please that God, who is far above my ability to please, was driving my faith. Days rolled by, and as I listened to more truths about Trinity, I could comprehend that I was always fighting for the place, while in reality I should just understand I’m already seated there in the place, and the real war is me awakening to this reality.


So why do we still struggle? And why do you find it hard to steward many areas of life?

I believe it’s only because we aren’t awakened to the place we are fighting from. 


“Yahweh said to my Lord, the Messiah: “Sit with me as enthroned ruler while I subdue your every enemy. They will bow low before you as I make them a footstool for your feet.””

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭110‬:‭1‬ ‭TPT‬‬

 

If we believe that we are co-heirs with Jesus, we are seated along with him at the right side, and this is exactly where we should be seeing ourselves as we deal with our everyday situations. We are seated along and reigning with the trinity, as we awaken to this reality we fight differently. 


“You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


I’m skeptical in this season, especially if I can bless people by telling a word of blessing over them and will that change something in people’s life. As I began to ponder on this doubt, I was reminded of this truth and this can be the only truth I have to stand on that I'm his daughter, and he is more than happy to be fulfilling what I speak; in fact, I’m called to do that, and I’m called to build Papa’s kingdom, and his kingdom is all about blessing people and lavish his children only with his goodness and faithfulness.


In the end, it is about us fighting against our own belief system more than we fight against the devil or his schemes. We are surely to fight and stand against all the challenges, but the place we are doing it from makes all the difference. Today I’m extending an invitation to you to awaken to this truth.

    Why fight when you are already a victor" is a beautifully empowering message! Your writing captures the essence of victory in Christ, reminding us to rest in the finished work of the cross. The way you blend scripture with personal insight offers readers both encouragement and clarity.

    I love how you address the unnecessary struggles we often hold onto and encourage believers to step into their God-given identity as conquerors.

    Keep shining that light through your words—it’s clear they’re transformative.

God Story 001

  So… I’m starting a new series here called “God Stories.”  Think of it as my way of sharing the crazy, surprising, and wonderful ways God showed up in our lives.     I got married three months ago. My husband and I honestly saw God’s hand everywhere—from how the proposal came together to the tiniest details of the wedding prep. There are so many stories I could tell, but here’s one that still makes me smile every time I think about it. When we were venue-hunting in Chennai, I had one very specific dream: a wedding by the beach with a lawn. Basically, I wanted to see the waves without sinking into the sand. Sounds picky, right? But somehow, we actually found a place that was exactly what I wanted.I was over the moon once it was booked. Fast forward to two months before the wedding.I visited the venue with my décor team around 4:30 p.m.—the same time we planned to hold the ceremony. And guess what? Instead of the soothing sound of waves, I was hit with blaring music a...

Why do I like flowers?!

I've had people ask me this question but, I have never really contemplated on it, I think it’s a good time to start. I did not grow up with a home garden; most of my childhood was spent in apartments, and I never really had plants around.  However, I always noticed my mom had a soft spot for flowers. She would buy a bunch of silk roses from random shops, place them in a vase near our TV, and talk about them for weeks. She would say, "Look how beautiful it is. The leaves look so real. Can you see the fake droplet that adds beauty to the rose and makes it look fresh?"  Slowly, this grew on me, and I eventually stumbled into opening my small business, the Flower Chapter, and discovered my love for flowers had taken root.  And yes, now we talk a lot about flowers.  We talk about the texture of their petals, the pollen that holds yellows in the lilies, and try to understand why they are so pleasing to look at.  If I were God, I would probably think, "Why waste so muc...

You become what you worship

You become what you worship is a phrase often used by Bill Johnson in his teachings, and I certainly have seen it become true in people’s lives. The awe you feel toward someone or something will, in time, lead you into wonder and wonder isn’t passive—it draws you in. It invites you to get close, to observe, to participate. Eventually, it asks for transformation. I’ve always carried a quiet awe for a few women in my life.  Back in my teenage years, I might’ve seen them as ordinary or out of touch , not trendy or loud enough to catch attention. But now, I see them for who they truly are: wise . They don’t speak just to fill silence—they speak only after listening to the Spirit. Once soft and uncertain, they’ve grown into women of deep strength and unshakable values. I’m in awe of them. From how they carry themselves with quiet dignity to the way their words carry weight without needing volume— not a day goes by that I don’t think of the women whose shoulders I now stand on. They’v...
