"God wants us to be victors. We don't become victors by conquering the enemy. We become victors through surrender to Christ. We don't become victors by our independence from the enemy. We become victors by our dependence on God.
The road to freedom seems to be a paradox. To experience victory and freedom we need to become captives. We need to develop minds captive to Christ. In this life, we are most free whose minds are captivated by Christ. Victorious lives flow from victorious thoughts. Thinking victorious thoughts comes from setting our focus on a victorious God.
We can be led astray by the cords of an evil yoke, or we can be led to victory by the cords of divine love. Remember, this war is for freedom, and the battlefield is the mind." -Beth Moore, Breaking Free, Chp. 39 A View From the New
"I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love; I lifted the yoke from their neck and bent down to feed them." Hosea 11:4
"Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you." Joshua 3:5
The wonders God wants to do in all our tomorrows are prepared for in our todays.
