Singing the Victory Anthem

Celebrate by faith, even without seeing yet, the achievements that God will deliver in your hands

A popular saying says "you can not sing victory ahead of time". These proverbs of the people come into our minds and do not come out. They get crushed in our thoughts and people end up adopting them as a rule. This is beautiful for showing responsibility and also comfortable because it leaves you trapped in a safe zone. There is nothing better for those who do not understand spiritual things than to find themselves at a stage when they are fully comfortable, when everything is favorable to them. You are surrounded by people who defend you. He may even be wrong, with his hair or clothes misaligned, but his friends praise him and say that "everything is beautiful; it's all right". Now when something goes out of your control and annoys you you lose your balance, you argue with whoever challenged you and you miss when you did not have to strain yourself. The Bible despises those who do this and applaud those who have strength and thirst to overcome. Men and women who have so much faith that even before conquering they are already celebrating.

Contrary to what the popular saying teaches, the Word of God inspires us to live by faith, to thank and praise the Lord for situations not yet reached, but which have already been conquered in the spiritual world.

King David is a great example on this subject. Yet when he was only a shepherd, he gave lessons to the soldiers and leader of Israel. While all trembled with fear before the giant Goliath, he volunteers to destroy the enemy, asks about what will be the reward with the firmness of someone who trusts fully who serves and knows he would hit the target: "What shall they do to that man that shall smite this Philistine, and take away the affront of Israel? Who then is this uncircumcised Philistine to confront the armies of the living God? "1 Samuel 17: 26b. It's before the war is won that you should celebrate! The righteous live by faith and you, as one who believes in the Lord, is authorized to sing victory before the time because his victory is certain in the name of Jesus. God bless your day!
