Did you know that you were born to win?

Today we are going to tear down any thought or imagination that might be telling you that you can never win, and we are going to see how easy it is to step into the victory that each of us are created to have.  I want to show you that you were born to win.

He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Cor 15:57 Says, "But thanks be to God!  He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."  As a believer, we have the victorious Spirit of Christ living inside of us.  Through Him, we each have the overcoming power to embrace victory in every area of our lives that we choose to.  Being born again, is being born to win!

Our challenge is to embrace that victory for ourselves.  The word victory implies that there was a battle of some kind going on, and each of us has to make the decision to enter the battle and take that victory.  We must run the race.  We have to fight the fight.

Talent and potential are the gift of being born to win, but without training you will never be the best.

One of the biggest requirements for winning and victory in any endeavor is the training that prepares us for that victory.  Professional athletes win because they step into their full potential through vigorous training.  Talent and potential are the gift of being born to win, but without training you will never be the best.

The Grace & Strength Lifestyle is about accepting the Grace of God which has freely given us the victory through Jesus Christ, and then learning to step into our divine strength and claiming that victory for ourselves. We were born to win, not to receive the second place trophy.  We want to be the best version of ourselves possible.

We achieve this win by training with purpose and intention.  Our training field is day to day life in which we live.  As we begin to clarify and bring into focus the picture of what victory looks like in our own lives, we can approach each obstacle we face as a training exercise that is preparing us for our 1st Place Life.

Our decisions, our choices, and our actions are made with intention because we have a WIN in our hearts that we are pursuing.  Because we are in pursuit of that win, WE DON'T QUIT!  Winners never quit.  Winners get up again and again and again and if necessary they get up again and again after that.

Winners get up again and again and again, and if necessary, they get up again and again after that.  - Cyndi Benson June 28, 2012

Regardless of how victorious you may or may not feel today and regardless of how many times you've lost the fight, God has called you and empowered you to a life of victory.  You were born to win!

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

2 Corinthians 2:14 says, "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place."

As you hold the hand of Christ, He is ALWAYS leading you along a journey filled with triumph and victory.  No matter how great your struggle is today, you can be assured that with Him at the head of your life, that great battle is just the introduction to a story of great victory.

What battle are you facing right now that will become a significant victory story in the future?
