¿Are we enabled to win?

2 Corinthians 2:14-17

“ We thank God for the power Christ has given us. He leads us and makes us win in everything. He speaks through us wherever we go. The Good News is like a sweet smell to those who hear it. We are a sweet smell of Christ that reaches up to God. It reaches out to those who are being saved from the punishment of sin and to those who are still lost in sin. It is the smell of death to those who are lost in sin. It is the smell of life to those who are being saved from the punishment of sin. Who is able for such a work? We are not like others. They preach God’s Word to make money. We are men of truth and have been sent by God. We speak God’s Word with Christ’s power. All the time God sees us.”

A fantastic and wonderful aspect that can definitely happen us is to know Christ and accept Him as our Lord and Savior because "Christ bought us with His blood and made us free from the Law. In that way, the Law could not punish us. Christ did this by carrying the load and by being punished instead of us. It is written, “Anyone who hangs on a cross is hated and punished.”Because of the price Christ Jesus paid, the good things that came to Abraham might come to the people who are not Jews. And by putting our trust in Christ, we receive the Holy Spirit He has promised. Christian brothers, let me show you what this means. If two men agree to something and sign their names on a paper promising to stay true to what they agree, it cannot be changed." (Galatians 3:13-15) Receive the Holy Spirit of God ... It's a great promise! It's like whether we'd become magnets to attract all those blessings and promises that the Lord has already destined for us. From this moment the Lord will expect us to take initiative in many things because we are enabled to win!

Why does the Lord wait for this? Because ... " For who has the thoughts of the Lord? Who can tell Him what to do? But we have the thoughts of Christ."(1 Corinthians 2:16), also because we receive strength "I can do all things because Christ gives me the strength."(Philippians 4:13),  and if it was not enough "But we have power over all these things through Jesus Who loves us so much. For I know that nothing can keep us from the love of God. Death cannot! Life cannot! Angels cannot! Leaders cannot! Any other power cannot! Hard things now or in the future cannot! The world above or the world below cannot! Any other living thing cannot keep us away from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8: 37-39),  and whether we want more "But the Lord is with me like a powerful one who causes fear. So those who make it hard for me will fall and not have power over me. They will be put to much shame, because their plans have not gone well. Their shame will last forever and will not be forgotten."(Jeremiah 20:11).

We have the thoughts of the Lord, we receive authority, nothing is impossible because we can do everything in Christ that strengthens us! The power of God is so admirable that He knows that nothing can separate us from Him! and also He fights for us!

What are we going to do with all this equipment of superheroes God gave us? Use it to win! For example: "The Lord will fight for you. All you have to do is keep still.” Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to keep going."(Exodus 14:14-15). "Then Esther told them to say to Mordecai, “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and have them all go without food so they can pray better for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my women servants will go without food in the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law. And if I die, I die.”"(Esther 4:15-16), "When Daniel knew that the king had written his name on this law, he went into his house where, in his upper room, he had windows open toward Jerusalem. There he got down on his knees three times each day, praying and giving thanks to his God, as he had done before."(Daniel 6:10).

On the other hand, if instead of taking all equipment that God gave us for winning, we are be missing time remembering all our failures then it's prefer we stay there! But... Please do not disturb those who actually do the work and let's get out of their way!
It would be a great loss to have so much equipment and not to use it.

God bless you and have an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
