From a place of Victory

 The apostle Paul teaches that believers come from a place of victory, which is found in their faith in Christ. Here are a few points that illustrate God's hand in this victory, using the biblical acronym "ENEMY":

E: God has "enlightened" believers to the truth of the gospel and given them the knowledge and wisdom they need to overcome the lies of the enemy (Ephesians 1:17-18).

N: God has "nourished" believers with His Word, providing them with the spiritual sustenance they need to grow in their faith and withstand the attacks of the enemy (Matthew 4:4).

E: God has "empowered" believers with His Holy Spirit, who enables them to live according to His will and empowers them to overcome the works of the enemy (Acts 1:8).

M: God has "made" believers into a new creation through their faith in Christ, freeing them from the power of sin and death and equipping them for victory (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Y: God has "yielded" the victory to believers through Christ, who triumphed over the enemy on the cross and has granted them access to the abundant life and eternal blessings that come through Him (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Overall, the Bible teaches that believers can experience victory over the enemy through their faith in Christ, who has already secured the ultimate victory on their behalf. By relying on God's enlightenment, nourishment, empowerment, transformation, and yieldedness, believers can live in the fullness of this victory and overcome any obstacle that comes their way.

From His hand, comes our victory: crushing the enemy's head through faith in Christ."
