Practical Steps to Pray from Victory, Not for Vict Practical Steps to Pray from Victory, Not for Victory.

Let's get practical about how to implement this powerful principle in your daily prayer life.

How this applies to you:

-- Begin your prayers with thanksgiving for what Christ has already accomplished.  Before presenting any request, remind yourself and acknowledge to God that the victory has already been won through the cross and resurrection.

-- Replace pleading with proclamation. Instead of begging God to act, proclaim what His Word says He has already done. For example, instead of "God, please heal me," try "Thank You, Lord, that by Your stripes I was healed" (1 Peter 2:24).

-- Use Scripture as the foundation for your prayers. Find promises that address your situation and pray them with confidence, knowing God's Word doesn't return void (Isaiah 55:11).

-- Visualize your position in Christ. Before praying, take a moment to picture yourself seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), looking down on your situation from that vantage point.

-- Speak to your mountain, not just about it.  Jesus instructed us to speak directly to our obstacles (Mark 11:23). From a position of victory, you don't just talk to God about your problems; you speak to your problems about your God, and you openly declare what the Holy Spirit is leading you to declare.

-- Reject doubt-filled language in your prayers. Phrases like "if it be Your will" can sometimes reflect uncertainty rather than submission. If you don't know what God's will is, that is one thing. But if you are praying for something that clearly lines up with His Word and something that lines up with what He promised (revealed to) you, then you must pray with confidence. At that point, if you add, "if it be Your will," then you are telling God that you don't believe Him.

-- Practice "praying the answer, not the problem." Focus your mental and spiritual energy on God's solution rather than obsessing over the details of the problem.
How Praying from Victory Changes Your Prayer Life. How Praying from Victory Changes Your Prayer Life.

Understanding this principle doesn't just change your theology or your mindset; it actually changes the way you pray.

How this applies to you:

-- Your prayers become less desperate and more declarative. Instead of "God, please defeat this problem," you pray, "Thank You, Father, that through Christ, this problem is already defeated, and I receive Your victory in this situation."

-- You spend less time describing your problem to God and more time declaring God's promises over your problem. Your prayers become less about informing God of your need and more about inviting His already-available provision into your circumstance.

-- Your prayers shift from "Will You?" to "Thank You that You have." Gratitude replaces begging. Thanksgiving becomes your strategy because it acknowledges what God has already done.

-- Your prayers become more confident and less anxious.  When you know the outcome is already settled in heaven, you can pray with holy boldness rather than nervous uncertainty.

-- You pray with authority rather than timidity. Jesus said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me" (Matthew 28:18), and as His representative, you operate under that delegated authority.

-- Your prayers focus more on alignment and agreement than attainment and achievement.  You're not trying to make something happen; you're positioning yourself to receive what has already happened in the spiritual realm.

-- Your prayers become less about duration and more about confidence. While persistence in prayer is Biblical, it's not about wearing God down but about standing firm in faith until what is true in heaven becomes manifest on earth. Short, confident prayers replace long, wordy, and flowery prayers.
The Biblical Foundation for Praying from Victory. The Biblical Foundation for Praying from Victory.

This concept isn't a motivational gimmick; it's deeply rooted in Scripture and the finished work of Christ.

How this applies to you:

-- Jesus' last words on the cross were "It is finished" (John 19:30), not "It is started" or "It is in progress." He wasn't referring just to His earthly life but to His redemptive work.  Everything necessary for your victory was completed in that moment.

-- Ephesians 2:6 says God has "raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Note the past tense—this is your current position, not your future hope. You pray from this seated position of authority.

-- Hebrews 10:14 declares, "For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified." The legal work is done; we're now walking out its practical application.

-- Romans 8:37 affirms that "we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Not "will be" or "might be" but "are"—present tense, settled reality.

-- In John 16:33, Jesus promised, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." His victory becomes your starting point, not your destination.

-- 2 Peter 1:3 confirms that "His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." The provision preceded the problem—you already possess what you need.

-- 1 Corinthians 15:57 says, "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Notice it says "gives" (present tense), not "will give." The victory is a current possession, not a future aspiration.

-- 1 John 5:4 states, "For everyone born of God overcomes the world.  This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith." Your faith doesn't create victory; it receives and applies the victory Christ has already secured.
Understanding What "Praying from Victory" Means. Understanding What "Praying from Victory" Means.

Before we can practice praying FROM victory, we need to understand what it actually means and how it differs from traditional approaches to prayer.
How this applies to you:

-- Praying from victory means you approach God based on what you believe He has accomplished or what has already been settled on your behalf.  This is far different than praying from the position of what you believe still needs to be done. You're not trying to convince God to give you victory; you're learning to access the victory He's already provided.

-- It's the difference between a beggar and an heir. A beggar pleads for what they don't have; an heir confidently receives what already belongs to them. Under grace, you're not a beggar hoping for crumbs from the table; you're a child seated at the table with full access to the Father's abundance.

-- Praying from victory shifts your focus from your problem to God's promise.  It's not about denying the reality of your challenge; it's about declaring a greater reality—God's Word and finished work.

-- It means you're praying with the mind of Christ, seeing things from a heavenly perspective rather than an earthly one. From heaven's viewpoint, the battle is already won; you're simply taking the authority to enforce and opening your heart to experience that victory on earth.

-- Praying from victory means you understand that your breakthrough isn't dependent on your performance but on Christ's perfection.  His worthiness, not yours, is the basis for answered prayer.

-- It means you're standing on the declaration of Colossians 2:15, that Jesus "made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were His!" The enemy isn't just defeated; he's been humiliated. That's the position from which you now pray.

Practical Grace-Based Prayers During Opposition. Practical Grace-Based Prayers During Opposition.

Knowing how to pray specifically during times of opposition can make a tremendous difference in your life. Let's talk about it.

How this applies to you:

-- Pray for perspective, not just deliverance. Ask God to help you see the opposition through His eyes. Like Joseph, you'll be able to say, "What the enemy meant for harm, God meant for good."

-- Pray for provision. During opposition, God often provides in unusual ways. The Israelites had manna in the desert. God has resources you haven't discovered yet. God has millions of ways to get you millions of dollars to fund what He has called you to do.

-- Pray for protection, not just from the battle but in it. David didn't ask to avoid Goliath; he asked for victory over him. Sometimes the way around is through.

-- Pray for perseverance when the journey seems long. Long-distance runners hit "the wall" before breaking through to their second or third wind. Many times, spiritual opposition works the same way.  Sometimes the key to winning is simply refusing to quit.

-- Pray with praise, recognizing God's sovereignty over your situation. Paul and Silas sang praises in prison, and God turned their opposition into opportunity. Your praise in the midst of problems becomes powerful spiritual warfare.  Praise will magnify God, and it will also cause you to shift your focus to God and what He can do.
Grace Provides What You Need in Opposition. God's Grace Provides What You Need in Opposition.

God's grace doesn't just save you; it supplies everything you need to stand firm against any opposition. This understanding transforms how you pray during difficult seasons.

How this applies to you:

-- Grace provides supernatural peace in the midst of turmoil, because you know God is with you, and His presence brings with it His peace and provision.  Your peace is not based on the absence of trouble. It is based on the presence of God.  When you pray, access the peace that surpasses understanding.

-- Grace gives you wisdom beyond your natural understanding. James 1:5 promises that if you lack wisdom, you can ask God, who gives generously. 

-- Grace offers divine guidance when you're confused or disoriented. The Holy Spirit becomes your personal navigator, directing your steps even when the path seems unclear.

-- Grace supplies extraordinary strength when your strength is depleted. God's power is perfected in our weakness, so when you feel like you can't go on, grace gives you the power to do so.

-- Grace provides patience to endure when instant deliverance doesn't come.  Sometimes God delivers us from the fire; other times, He delivers in it (like the Hebrew boys). The good news is that God will get down in the fire with us.

-- Grace gives you resilience to bounce back from setbacks. It's not about never falling; it's about not staying down. Grace empowers you to get back up every time opposition knocks you down.

-- Grace gives us staying power. Read this passage.

James 5:10,11 Message Bible
"Take the old prophets as your mentors. They put up with anything, went through everything, and never once quit, all the time honoring God.  What a gift life is to those who stay the course! You've heard, of course, of Job's staying power, and you know how God brought it all together for him at the end."

Life becomes a gift when you tap into the grace to STAY THE COURSE!
Praying from Grace, Not Desperation. When facing Praying from Grace, Not Desperation.

When facing opposition, our natural tendency is to pray from a place of desperation.  Grace teaches us to pray from a position of victory, not victimhood.

How this applies to you:

-- Desperate prayers focus on the problem; grace-based prayers focus on the promises and the Promise-Keeper. When the three Hebrew boys faced the fiery furnace, they didn't beg for deliverance; they confidently declared God's faithfulness regardless of the outcome. Even when the enemy cranked up the heat on them, they REFUSED TO BOW! You must do the same.  Even if the enemy cranks up the heat on you, you must refuse to change your confession! And if you don't BOW, you will not BURN!

-- Desperate prayers are full of fear; grace-based prayers are full of faith. Fear says, "What if God doesn't come through?" Faith says, "God is with me and He will see me through it. Even if the outcome isn't what I wanted, God is still good, and in the end, it will all work together for my good."

-- Desperate prayers try to convince God to move; grace-based prayers rest in knowing God has already moved.  What we are learning in this series is this: Your job isn't to change God's mind but to align with His will.

-- Desperate prayers are driven by panic; grace-based prayers are powered by peace.  Jesus slept through the storm, not because He didn't care, but because He knew the Father would bless Him to get to the other side.

-- Desperate prayers focus on your inadequacy (need); grace-based prayers focus on Christ's sufficiency (supply). 

-- Desperate prayers beg God to show up; grace-based prayers thank Him for already being there. You're not praying for God to come and help you; you're acknowledging His constant presence and accessing His readily available help.
Understanding the Nature of Opposition. Before we Understanding the Nature of Opposition.

Before we can pray effectively through opposition, we must understand its purpose and source.  Not all opposition comes from the enemy, and not all smooth paths are from God.

How this applies to you:

-- Opposition often confirms you're heading in the right direction. When the enemy attacks, it's because you're making progress that threatens his agenda. Over the years, I have learned that satan only attacks those worth attacking. In other words, he does not waste resources attacking what is already ineffective.  This means that if you are being attacked, it is because you are making an impact.

-- While God may not be the cause of opposition, when you are praying for protection or when others are praying for your protection, God can certainly shield you from it. But even then, while God can prevent (due to prayers and petitions), God can also permit. God sometimes permits opposition if He knows it will help to develop the character, patience, and endurance you require to fulfill His purpose.  In other words, what you're going through may be building strength for what's ahead.

-- Not all opposition is spiritual warfare. Sometimes it's just the natural consequence of living in a fallen world. Other times, it comes as a result of poor decisions.  Discernment helps you know what you are dealing with.

-- Opposition has a size. The size of your opposition often reveals the size of your assignment.  Large battles indicate large callings.  What looks like a setback might actually be a setup for God's greater purpose.

-- Opposition has a timing. Attacks often intensify just before your breakthrough.  The darkest hour comes just before dawn.  When opposition seems most fierce, deliverance may be just around the corner.

-- Opposition reveals what's in your heart. Pressure doesn't create character; it reveals it. How you respond to challenges shows what you truly believe about God's purpose and grace for your life.

I was honored to attend CW5 (now retired) Jeramy C I was honored to attend CW5 (now retired) Jeramy Cosner’s retirement ceremony last Friday, which celebrated his extraordinary 25+ years of honoreable service to our nation. As a fellow Warrant Officer from the US Army Signal Regiment, I was blessed to be in attendance with Jeramny and so many legends, from the Signal Regiment, who were also present.

The ceremony was made even more special with LTG Jeth Rey, a former US Army Signal Warrant Officer himself, presiding.

Jermany had a bunch of “cool jobs,” the ones you cannot talk about, and he excelled in every one!  I celebrate Jeramy and his family and I pray the Lord blesses their transition greatly!

Grace Eliminates the Performance Trap in Prayer. Grace Eliminates the Performance Trap in Prayer.

Many believers fall into what I call the "performance trap" in prayer--believing that the effectiveness of their prayers depends on how well they pray, how long they pray, or how well they do after they prayed.  Grace frees us from this trap.

How this applies to you:

-- Under the performance mindset, you might think God answers prayers based on your spiritual track record. Grace reveals that God answers based on Jesus' perfect record credited to your account.

-- Many believe they must "qualify" for answered prayer through spiritual disciplines like fasting, extended prayer times, or acts of service.  While these disciplines are valuable, they don't earn God's response. 

-- The performance trap leads to comparing your prayer life with others: "She prays for hours daily; no wonder God answers her." Grace frees you from these comparisons.

-- Performance-minded prayer often includes bargaining: "God, if You do this, I promise I'll..." Grace-based prayer rests in what Jesus has already done, not what you promise to do or not do.

-- Under performance, unanswered prayer leads to self-examination: "What did I do wrong?" Under grace, you rest knowing that God's timing and wisdom are perfect, and His apparent "no" is either a "no" for now, a "no" because you asked for the wrong thing, or simply God protecting you from something that was not His best for this season.

-- Performance measures prayer by results: "Did God answer my prayer?" Grace measures prayer by relationship: "Do I know that I am walking with God and He is walking with me?" Under the latter, the answers to your prayers may still be in motion, but your connection to God is stable and secure.
Grace Transforms Your Identity in Prayer. How you Grace Transforms Your Identity in Prayer.

How you see yourself affects how you pray. Grace gives you a new identity that revolutionizes your prayer life.

How this applies to you:

-- Under grace, you're not a beggar hoping for crumbs from God's table; you're a beloved child with legal rights to your Father's resources. You pray as a son or daughter, not as a slave or a servant.

-- Romans 8:15-16 tells us we've received the Spirit of adoption. We don't approach God with fear but with the intimate cry of "Abba, Father!" This family relationship gives you confidence in prayer.

-- Grace gives you the consciousness of being accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:6). This acceptance isn't based on what you do but on who you are in Christ.

-- When you understand your identity under grace, you stop beginning your prayers with "God, I know I'm not worthy, but..." Instead, you pray with the confidence of one who has been made righteous by Christ's blood.

-- Your identity as God's child means you don't have to convince Him to be good to you. He is good to you because you're His, not because you've earned it.  God wants to bless you because God is good, not because you are.

-- Grace teaches you to pray from who you are, not what you've done.  Your identity in Christ--righteous, holy, beloved--becomes the foundation of your prayer life.
Grace Removes the Barrier of Condemnation. One of Grace Removes the Barrier of Condemnation.

One of the biggest obstacles to confident prayer is a condemning heart.  When we feel condemned, we either run away from God, or we approach God with hesitation rather than confidence.  Grace removes this barrier.

How this applies to you:

-- Romans 8:1 declares, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." This means you can pray without the weight of guilt and shame.

-- A condemned heart leads to prayers full of fear, doubt, and unbelief.  But grace assures you that God has forgiven your sins, making way for confident prayer.

-- When your heart doesn't condemn you, you have confidence before God (1 John 3:21). This isn't because you're perfect, but because Christ's blood has cleansed your conscience.

-- Under grace, prayer becomes less about convincing God to overlook your faults and more about receiving what His love has already provided.

-- If you feel disqualified from answered prayer because of past failures, remember that God's grace is greater than your sins. His mercy triumphs over judgment.

-- When you pray with a condemning heart, you pray with doubt. But when you pray with a heart cleansed by grace, you pray with faith. And faith-filled prayers move mountains.

-- Grace teaches you to distinguish between conviction (which leads to repentance) and condemnation (which leads to hiding from God). The Holy Spirit convicts to restore the relationship; satan condemns to destroy it.
Grace Replaces Fear with Confidence in Prayer. Fe Grace Replaces Fear with Confidence in Prayer.

Fear is one of the greatest hindrances to effective prayer becuase you need your prayers to be full of faith, and fear cancels out your faith. Embracing God's Grace replaces fear with a supernatural confidence that transforms how we pray.

How this applies to you:

-- The Bible tells us that "perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:18). John flat-out tells us that there is no fear in love. God's grace is the manifestation of His perfect love toward us, removing the fear that hinders our prayers.

-- Many believers pray with an underlying fear of rejection or disappointment. Grace assures you that God receives you with delight, not reluctance or irritation. He welcomes you as a son or daughter with open arms.

-- Under the Old Covenant, approaching God the wrong way could result in death (remember Uzzah, who touched the ark). Under grace, we approach God with confidence, knowing the price for our acceptance has been paid in full.

-- When you pray with fear, your prayers are hindered. Fear tolerated is faith contaminated. Grace removes that fear, allowing faith to flourish in your prayer life.

-- Fear makes you hesitant in prayer, carefully measuring your words. Grace gives you the freedom to pour out your heart genuinely before God.

-- Many, because of fear, feel like they are bothering God or taking up too much of His time when they pray.  Grace reveals that God delights in your company and welcomes extended communion with you.

-- Fear makes you settle for less in prayer, afraid to ask for "too much." Grace emboldens you to ask according to God's abundance, not your perceived limitations. In other words, grace helps you to dream God-sized dreams and make God-sized requests in prayer.
The Power of a New Mind - When God's Thoughts Beco The Power of a New Mind - When God's Thoughts Become Yours

8 Keys From this Quick Video:

1. The more you internalize the Word of God, the more His character becomes your character and His nature becomes your nature.

2. Renewing your mind with God's Word transforms your thinking to the point where God's will becomes your natural instinct and your default response.

3. As your mindset aligns with God's mindset, what is common to Him becomes common to you, completely reshaping how you react and what choices you make.

4. Where you once reacted in anger and frustration, you will now respond with prayer and compassion, because God's grace has transformed your natural responses.

5. Instead of retaliating against those who mistreat you, you will lift them up in prayer, understanding that their actions stem from their own internal struggles.

6. No one's negativity can block your God-given purpose because your destiny is divinely protected and safeguarded by Him.

7. What feels completely natural today -- like blessing those who curse you -- was once foreign and strange, proving how much God has transformed you over time.

8. When your mind and heart are saturated with God's Word, living out His will becomes your "common sense" and your natural way of walking through life. #DealingWithNegativity #PrayerChangesThings #Negativity #Prayer #Perspective #MindsetShift #Compassion #Inspiration #SelfImprovement #Faith #Motivation #Resilience
Praying According to God's Will with Confidence. Praying According to God's Will with Confidence.

1 John 5:14-15 tells us that when we pray according to God's will, we can have confidence that He hears us and grants our requests.  Under grace, this confidence comes from having a relationship with God.

How this applies to you:

-- Praying according to God's will isn't about a feeling or a formula; it's about having settled faith because of your relationship with God.

-- Grace gives you the confidence to approach God boldly with your requests (even when you know you are not perfect). Because of grace, you can approach God with confidence, knowing that He a) has forgiven you and b) He wants to reveal His will to you.

-- When you understand that God wants you to know His will even more than you want to know it, prayer becomes less about convincing God and more about receiving His revelation.

-- Under grace, the Holy Spirit prays through you. Look at what Paul said about this.
"Also, the Spirit helps us. We are very weak, but the Spirit helps us with our weakness. We don't know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself speaks to God for us. He begs God for us, speaking to him with feelings too deep for words. God already knows our deepest thoughts. And he understands what the Spirit is saying, because the Spirit speaks for his people in the way that agrees with what God wants." (Romans 8:26, 27 ERV). In this way, the Holy Spirit becomes your prayer partner, ensuring your prayers align with God's purposes.

-- Grace-based discernment isn't about straining to hear but about resting to receive. Often, God's will becomes clearest when you're at rest in His presence rather than anxiously pleading.

-- Philippians 2:13 (ERV) reminds us, "Yes, it is God who is working in you.  He helps you want to do what pleases him, and he gives you the power to do it." This means God not only reveals His will but also helps you desire it.  Basically, He helps to convince you of it to the point where you want it. And then, after you want it, God gives you the power to accomplish it.  This is all grace, and it makes our journey ALL ABOUT HIM!
The Holy Spirit: Your Internal Guide to God's Will The Holy Spirit: Your Internal Guide to God's Will.

Under the New Covenant, the Holy Spirit dwells within you, constantly guiding you into all truth. This internal guidance system is central to discerning God's will from a position of grace.

How this applies to you:

-- The Holy Spirit doesn't just give you information about God's will; He gives you the interpretation of circumstances, Scripture, and inner promptings.

-- Under grace, you don't need to look primarily for external signs to confirm God's will.  The primary confirmation comes from within, where the Holy Spirit dwells.

-- God's Spirit won't contradict God's Word. The Bible is your baseline for discerning God's will. Any guidance you think you're receiving that contradicts Scripture isn't from God.

-- The Holy Spirit speaks in various ways: through Scripture, through a still, small voice in your spirit, through Godly counsel, through circumstances, and sometimes through dreams and visions.  Learning to recognize the way God is speaking to you is critical to discerning God's will.

-- Under grace, hearing God becomes less about technique and more about trust. The more you trust His desire to guide you, the more clearly you'll hear Him.

-- The Holy Spirit's guidance is often progressive rather than comprehensive.  He may show you just the next step, which forces you to rely on Him for ongoing communication.

-- The Holy Spirit often communicates through a sense of peace or unrest. Colossians 3:15 says, "Let the peace of Christ rule [act as an umpire] in your hearts." When you have supernatural peace about a decision, it's often confirmation of God's will. Think of peace as God's umpire, calling "safe" or "out" on the decisions you're considering. 

-- If you don't have peace about that relationship, that job offer, or that major purchase - even if it looks good on paper - it's likely not God's will.  Many believers have ignored that internal lack of peace, made decisions anyway, and later regretted it, saying, "I never had peace about it." Let God's peace be your guide, not pressure, fear, or the opinions of others.  When you're led by grace, peace becomes your confirmation system.
The Renewed Mind: Your Instrument for Discerning G The Renewed Mind: Your Instrument for Discerning God's Will.

Romans 12:2 teaches that a transformed, renewed mind is the key to testing and approving God's will.  Under grace, your mind becomes increasingly aligned with God's thoughts.

How this applies to you:

-- Your mind is being renewed daily as you meditate on God's Word and walk in God's grace. This renewal process makes discerning God's will increasingly natural.

-- A legalistic mindset interferes with hearing God clearly because your thoughts will be more focused on your performance (or lack thereof) than on what God is saying.  Grace clears the channel so you can receive His signals without interference.

-- The Word of God contains the character, attributes, and nature of God.  The more you fill your heart with God's Word, the more your mind will be renewed to think, act, and make decisions that align with God. The more your mind is renewed, the more you see situations from His perspective rather than through worldly filters.

-- The more your mind is renewed, the less you have to strain to discern God's will—it becomes almost instinctive.  You simply know what to do in many situations because the Word of God is the will of God on paper, and you have filled your heart with God's Word.

-- When your mind is renewed, God's will often feels like common sense to you.  What would have seemed radical in the past now feels natural.

-- A grace-renewed mind isn't controlled by fear, which is one of the biggest obstacles to discerning God's will.  It takes faith to obey God, and you cannot be in faith if your heart and mind are filled with fear.  The more your mind is renewed by God's Word, and the more you learn to rest in God's Grace, the more fear will no longer be an issue for you.

-- Under grace, you're not trying to choose between what people call "God's perfect will" and "God's permissive will." You're simply learning to recognize the promptings of the Holy Spirit in each moment. You are living from the inside out.
