Victory Looks Different
My Dear Sisters,
Victory doesn’t always look like a breakthrough in the natural. It’s not always winning in the natural, the finances turning around, or the relationship being restored. Victory, in the spirit, is standing when everything in your life is shaking. It’s still believing and knowing God is good when nothing around you feels good. It’s knowing, not just hoping, that you are not forsaken, even when the evidence in the natural says otherwise.
Let me be real with you: there are days when the weight of it all feels unbearable. The battle gets intense. Your flesh will cry out for relief. Your emotions will want to run. But the Word is still the anchor:
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 KJV
Victory is not ease, it’s endurance.
Victory is not comfort, it’s clinging to Christ.
Victory is not winning in the world’s eyes, it’s allowing the Spirit of God to transform your mind, to teach you the lesson, to increase your faith, and to grow your spiritual muscles.
Sisters, don’t measure your victory by the world’s scale. Heaven sees differently. Your affliction, as heavy and as painful as it feels, is working something eternal in you.
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” 2 Corinthians 4:17 KJV
So today, let us shift our eyes off of what we think victory should look like, and anchor ourselves in what victory truly is, Jesus. Knowing Him. Becoming like Him. Trusting Him.
I won’t tell you it’s easy. I won’t even say it’s hard.
What I will say is this:
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 KJV
To my heart and to yours,
Be comforted. Be strengthened. You are still standing. That is victory.
With love and truth,
Your Sister in the Fire,
Sherita Jones
