It seems that in this modern age it is popular to say that you are a Christian or "born-again". You hear it all the time at sporting events and at television award shows. Sports celebrities and actors stand up all the time and say I'd like to thank God for this award. But is what they referring to "real" salvation as God intended? Or, just acting another part in another movie?

Salvation as God intended it is not something that you only think of every once and a while. It is not something that you only do once every Sunday morning by attending church. And, it certainly isn't just thanking God for some fleshly award that doesn't have one thing to do with Kingdom business! Salvation as God intended it was for mankind to be forgiven of their sins and then to live a victorious lifestyle in every area of their lives! True salvation is not just repeating a sinner's prayer and being forgiven of your sins only. No, it is being born again in every area of your life, in every area of who you are. Every thing about you should change, body, soul and spirit!

And when you live for God, you will also live with God. You will walk with Him, talk with Him, and have intimate fellowship with Him. And by so doing it will bring into your life an ultimate victory the likes of which this world has no idea of. You will live a victorious lifestyle that will emanate the power and the love of a mighty God who loves this world yes, but who also rules and reins over it. And as a partaker in His victory, you too get to be victorious in every area of your life!

So, arise Saints of the Most high! Arise and hold your head up high! You are not defeated! You are not the down and out! You are the King's kids! You are part of the royal family and all rights and privileges of such belong to you! You cannot be defeated when you come to know the power of your God that lives inside of you! He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world! And, you can do ALL things through Christ, which strengthens you! So start living a life of victory dear friends. You are more than an overcomer and you are victorious!!!!
