The Sixth qualities of victims and victors

VICTIMS are constantly wounded while  Victors keep on the armor of God and are protected.

Here is a description of a victim’s thinking and where it takes him:

"When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered, I was senseless and ignorant;

I was a brute beast before you.” Psalm 73:21,22

Victims always focus on the negative—and remember clearly hurts from the past. They do not know how to forgive

and therefore remain captives to their anger. Push the wrong button in a victim and you will get a load of unearned wrath.

VICTORS, on the other hand, consistently keep on and use the armor of God:

The belt of truth—they speak truth to themselves, “God has it in hand”

The breastplate of righteousness—forgiving themselves as God does them.

The shoes of peace—forgiving others as God has forgiven them.

The shield of faith, praising God in all things,

this protests the from being wounded, by quenching the fiery darts of Satan: anger, fear, worry, etc.

The helmet of salvation, drawing their significance and security from God, not people

The sword of the Spirit, the Word of God—thinking and living according to God’s direction.

Using the full armor regularly heals hurts, restores relationships, raises  the victor above the fray of life.
