Victory over Trouble and Fear (7 of 7)

Psalm 25:1, John 14:27
In the life of a Christian, there is a constant conflict for his or her soul. The enemy is doing everything in his power to try to discourage God's people because he knows that he has already lost the battle. He is a defeated foe, so he looks to make the life of the believer one of misery. In the area of the soul, the Christian mind is in the process of being renewed, but it is not yet fully made new like his spirit is. So while we are in this process, what we allow in through the gateway of the soul can determine whether we are living a victorious life or a defeated one. The enemies of your soul want to infiltrate through any open door they can find. But we must be diligent to keep the door shut and we must recognize when the door has been cracked open.
Through the difficulties of life, we are safe in the arms of Jesus. He is our Strong Tower and He is our refuge, the One we run to in times of trouble. While there may be conflict all around, we should still be able to say IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL. Like the words of the classic hymn read:
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Look at how the psalmist put it:
Psalm 25:1 A Psalm of David. To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. (NKJV)
Listen, Jesus has given us the key to living a victorious life and not allowing the enemy to triumph over us.
