The Sixth qualities of victims and victors

VICTIMS are constantly wounded while Victors keep on the armor of God and are protected.

Here is a description of a victim’s thinking and where it takes him:

"When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered, I was senseless and ignorant;

I was a brute beast before you.” Psalm 73:21,22

Victims always focus on the negative-and remember clearly hurts from the past. They do not know how to forgive and therefore remain captives to their anger. Push the wrong button in a victim and you will get a load of unearned wrath.

VICTORS, on the other hand, consistently keep on and use the armor of God:

The belt of truth-they speak truth to themselves, “God has it in hand”

The breastplate of righteousness-forgiving themselves as God does them.

The shoes of peace-forgiving others as God has forgiven them.

The shield of faith, praising God in all things, this protests the from being wounded, by quenching the fiery darts of Satan: anger, fear, worry, etc.

The helmet of salvation, drawing their significance and security from God, not people

The sword of the Spirit, the Word of God-thinking and living according to God’s direction.

Using the full armor regularly heals hurts, restores relationships, raises the victor above the fray of life.
