Hello, Friends & Lifers! Today's devotional is a shout out to the champion in you. It's a clarion call to the winners in Christ. It seems we've always had to finish last. We've always had to put our hopes and dreams on the back burner for other things and other people. We carry the scars of those hurts with us everyday. Our broken paths seem to be filled with disappointment and rejection at every turn. But thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in His name.

I want you to understand that no matter what you've been through, God's been with you. You've always been above, never beneath. The very fact that you've been rejected by the world signifies you've been chosen by God. He wants you. He's sanctified you and put His anointing on you. The enemy of your life has been defeated because death couldn't hold Jesus down. So shout unto God with a voice of triumph and praise. C'mon, you can do it! Most of us spend our time thinking about all the things that come against us. We worry about the economy being against us. We worry about the infirmity being against us. But if "God" is for us, who can be against us? What am I saying? I'm saying with God, the outcome is....YOU WIN!!!

Now the challenge today is to stay on God's side. As you realize He has chosen you, you must now choose Him. If you make decisions that lead you away from God's covering; you instantly place yourself in harm's way. You literally submit yourself to the law of sin and death, where there is no defense. But Deuteronomy 33:29 says "Happy are you O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, the Shield of your help and the Sword of your majesty. Your enemies will submit to you, and you will tread down their high places"! Wooo! Anybody but me feel a shout of praise in their spirit? There's truly a champion in you. That champion is the Holy Spirit. He'll win for you. He'll keep the devil from bullying you. You are no longer a victim. You're a victor. Go ahead, speak that over yourself. Speak it over the issues of your body, marriage, children, and finances. Ministering spirits are waiting to carry out your spiritual command. So assign them already. Do this and you'll understand what I'm saying when I say "winning feels good".....!

Prayer:
Praise You God! Praise You for Your faithfullness. Praise You for Your favor towards me. You are my Strength and my Song, the Lifter of my head. I am victorious in You and only You. You are so awesome!!!!
