Hi Yoel,

This is a very thought provoking question. I was actually signing off for the night...and then I saw your post. I simply couldn't resist answering. :)

Is Victory always possible in the Christian life, or do we sometimes have to face defeat?

I think quite often we can feel defeated... But God has something much more beautiful for us then us facing defeat! Even though we may feel defeat, we are Victorious! To be counted as a child of God...is to be Victorious! It doesn't matter what happens here, Christ is Victorious, and we are in Him!

We must know our authority in Christ... God is teaching me this ongoing!

While I'm answering this.. I'm thinking that you may mean Victory here on earth in the physical realm. Is that what you mean? If so.. the battle is not fought in the physical realm..but it is a Spiritual Battle. The Victory is the Lords, so we must rest in Him! We must constantly keep our eyes on Christ. Our circumstances may look like we've been defeated...But we move forward and persevere... We Stand and Fight! ....by faith! The enemy wants to take our faith away from us... he simply will not have it!

Eph 6:10 A final word: Be strong with the Lord's mighty power.
Eph 6:11 Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil.
Eph 6:12 For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.
Eph 6:13 Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm.
Eph 6:14 Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness.
Eph 6:15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. [fn]
Eph 6:16 In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan. [fn]
Eph 6:17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Eph 6:18 Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians everywhere.

Blessings, Carla
