TEN POWERFUL KEYS TO EXPERIENCING VICTORY IN BATTLES
***************************************************
1. FAITH
God gives us the victory through our faith in Christ. Our faith and inspiration must be in God and this faith will overcome the obstacles and bring us the victory. We must not allow doubt and unbelief to rob us of our victory through Christ. The Lord knows how to deliver the godly from temptation. In all the obstacles that we face we must continually draw inspiration and encouragement from the faithful promises of God and stand firm in our faith to experience victory in our lives. He has promised that no weapon formed against us will prosper because this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is from Him. Victory is our inheritance and birthright given to us by God as we serve Him. We must claim our inheritance in every battle that we face . We must claim our victory as our birthright given to us by God.

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered.
"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ’Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. "
" no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD. "
" if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. "
2. THE WORD OF GOD
We must use the word of God to fight the devil. The word of God is the sword of the Spirit . This is the weapon that the Holy Spirit uses in our spiritual warfare. There is enormous power in the anointed word of God to destroy the works of the devil. We must use the word of God in times of battles with evil forces and proclaim the authority of the word of God over every demonic stronghold and break the yoke of the enemy in our lives. The word of God helps us to discern the real motives of people who may try to deceive us . It also reveals the true condition of our own hearts in order that we do not deceive ourselves .

" For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. "
3. THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit helps us in our battles and conflicts. We are in an intense spiritual warfare. Even our natural and physical battles often has a spiritual cause behind it.Therefore we need to fight these battles not in human strength but with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord wants us help us fight our spiritual battles with the help of the Holy Spirit. When the enemy comes like a flood the Spirit of God lifts up a standard against him. Spiritual warfare cannot be fought with human or carnal weapons. We must rely on the strength of the Holy Spirit to resist the attacks of the enemy.
