To war from victory is not just to engage in battle but to operate from a position of dominion and authority. It means living in the full reality of Christ’s finished work and exercising the authority He has given us. This is not about struggling for victory but standing firm in the victory that has already been won.
Warring from victory moves beyond mere defence; it is about strategic enforcement, acting in the full assurance that Christ has already conquered the enemy. Jesus’ triumph over sin, death, and the grave was complete (Colossians 2:15). Our warfare is no longer about trying to win but about enforcing the victory that is already ours.
Through His sacrifice, Christ secured everything we need, and by the Holy Spirit, we are united with Him. This means we don’t strive to win battles; we enforce His victory in every area of our lives.
Beyond Fighting: Enforcing and Expanding Victory
1. Enforcing Victory
Victory in Christ is not something we beg for – it is something we walk in and enforce. To enforce victory means shifting from a reactive stance to one of governance and dominion. It is about ensuring that what God has declared in heaven is fully realised on earth.
Matthew 16:19 states:
“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
This scripture highlights our role as heaven’s enforcers on earth. We do not plead for breakthrough; we declare it, command it, and walk in it. We align our thoughts, words, and actions with God’s truth, ensuring His will is established.
2. Expanding Victory
Victory in Christ is not static, it is meant to grow and spread. Romans 8:37 reminds us:
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
To be more than a conqueror means we don’t just win battles… we establish dominion. Expanding the victory involves:
- Taking new ground in our faith and personal growth.
- Influencing our families, workplaces, and communities.
- Advancing the kingdom of God through evangelism and discipleship.
Victory is not just about surviving; it is about thriving, overcoming, and bringing others into the freedom we have in Christ.
Warring from Victory: A Mindset Shift
To war from victory is to see challenges differently. Things are not happening to you, they are happening for you. Every battle is an opportunity to manifest the triumph of Christ.
No matter the situation, you can stand firm knowing:
- There is light at the end of the tunnel.
- God is in control, and His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11).
- You are covered, protected, and empowered.
A king who has already won a war does not keep fighting meaningless battles, rather, he establishes rule, expands his territory, and secures lasting peace. Likewise, our role is not to fight for victory but to walk in it, enforce it, and expand it.
So, as you move forward, war from victory, not for it. Stand in authority, expand God’s kingdom, and walk boldly in all Christ has secured for you!
