"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." (1 John 5:4)
There is a higher life in Christ, a spiritual life to which we have been called to as Christians. We are not ordinary, we were made to look like God and to function like Him. We have been built with possibilities within our system. We are not in this world as victims, we were born victorious.
In Genesis, when God made man, the Bible says He gave him (man) dominion over all things (Genesis 1:28). He gave us a life that is superior, not a life limited only to the circumstances of life's challenges and the forces of nature, but also to spiritual beings of evil-Satan and his cohorts. Why then do some Christians still live as ordinary men, instead of living victoriously everyday? The reason is simply their ignorance of the Word: "They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness...I have said, ye are gods and all of you are children of the Most High." (Psalm 82:5-6)
Thanks be unto God. Jesus said, "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32). The truth is, now that you are Born Again, now that you are in Christ, you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Whereas you were defeated and lived as a victim before you came unto Christ, all that is history now. Today, with Christ alive in you nothing can put you down, you are registered victor for life!
It does not matter what your experience in life has been; it does not matter how long you might have suffered or been in darkness; light has come to you and the glory of God is shining brightly upon you now. Truth has been unveiled, the truth about what God has done for you, in you and with you in Christ Jesus. Get to know who you're in Him.
Study, meditate on and keep proclaiming the Word, because the Word of God unveils our victorious nature and life in Christ. You were born a victor, you were born to have dominion, you were born to live the superior life and live triumphantly everyday in Christ. Praise God!
