“Love is a decision of commitment.”

¹⁹I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:  ²⁰That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Deuteronomy 30:19-20

Victory Decision

Love is more than just a feeling.  I chose to commit myself to a life of loving God and others.

“Intercession is the most unselfish thing a believer can do.”

⁹I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.  ¹⁰And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.  ¹¹And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.  ¹²While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.  ¹³And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.  ¹⁴I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.  ¹⁵I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.  ¹⁶They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.  ¹⁷Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.  ¹⁸As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.  ¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

John 17:9-19

²⁶Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  ²⁷And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Romans 8:26-27

Victory Decision

I choose to pray for the needs of others, not just my own.

“A house or a life is no better than its foundation.”

¹¹For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:11

⁴⁷Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:  ⁴⁸He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

Luke 6:47-48

Victory Confession

I am building my life on the foundation of Jesus Christ.

“Little is much when God is in it.”

 

⁴¹And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.  ⁴²And they did all eat, and were filled.  ⁴³And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.  ⁴⁴And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

Mark 6:41-44

I will give my “little bit” to Jesus so that He can multiply it to abundantly meet needs.

“The greatest gift you can give to God is all of you.”

²⁹And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:  ³⁰And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Mark 12:29-30

 Victory Prayer

Lord, I want to give myself completely to you.  Reveal to me anything that is coming between us and I will change.

“The answer to your storm is in your boat.”

²³And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. ²⁴And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. ²⁵And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. ²⁶And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. ²⁷But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

Matthew 8:23-27

In this passage of scripture the disciples ran to get Jesus when the storm arose. Jesus was asleep in the back. Obviously, He wasn’t upset by the storm! He had already spoken to them and said we are going to the other side. God has given us His Word. Instead of looking to the arm of the flesh for solutions during our storm we should seek God. We should go to His Word and declare what He has declared to be true for our lives. He has already made provision for our success through Jesus.

Victory Decision

When in the midst of a storm in my life I will turn to Jesus for the answer.

“Love is the royal law of the Scriptures.”

⁸If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

James 2:8

³⁰And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  ³¹And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Mark 12:30-31

Eagerly pursue and seek to acquire [this] love [make it your aim, your great quest];

1 Corinthians 14:1 (AMPC)

First John 4:8 tells us that God is love. As His children, we should be an example of that love to everyone we come in contact with. It isn’t always easy! But we will be blessed if we do.

Victory Decision

I will walk in love with my family, friends, neighbors and enemies. I bless those that do me wrong knowing that God will bless me when I do.
