Ever feel like life just keeps knocking you down? No matter how hard you fight, no matter how much you pray, you just can’t seem to win? Have you ever wondered why the battles feel so constant, or caught yourself thinking, ‘I’ll never get past this struggle’? Maybe you’ve questioned if you’ll ever feel strong or free again.
But what if defeat isn’t your story at all? What if it’s just the enemy’s script—and God has already written a different one? Today, we’re trading the lie of ‘I feel defeated’ for the truth: ‘I am victorious in Christ.’
Join me in this episode of my podcast Trade a Lie for a Truth, as I open up about my personal journey as a cancer survivor and emphasize the importance of recognizing our giants against the scope of our great God. Ultimately, I talk about how God helped me overcome this giant of fear and ultimately, why He allows trials in the first place. Together, let’s actively seize the abundant life promised in Christ and move forward in His victory.
Takeaways:
- Life can feel overwhelming, but as Christians, defeat isn't our story.
- We think thousands of thoughts daily, many are negative, but we can trade them for the truth.
- Every trial is a test of faith, set up for our victory.
- God's promises are fulfilled in Christ, and it’s time to live in them.
- We cannot wait for problems to disappear to find happiness. Jesus offers the free, abundant life in Him today.
- Possession of God's promises requires action and faith.
