1. Give up trying to live the victorious Christian life with
you in control and allow God’s Spirit to guide and
empower you.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 “To keep me from becoming conceited because of these
surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in
my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace
is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in
weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly
about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's
sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in
persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I
am strong.”
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect
in weakness."
This is a totally different way of life from what our world teaches us.
John 15:4-5 “Remain in me, as I also
remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must
remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you
remain in me.
‘I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me
and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you
can do nothing.’”
2. Start having a daily quiet time with Christ that focuses
on reading the Bible and asking the Spirit to reveal to
you what He is teaching you.
It is impossible to walk vigorously and dynamically in
the Spirit without spending time, unhurried time, in
fellowship with our Lord in His Word - in prayer and in personal Bible study.

1 John 5:14: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God:
that if we ask anything according to His will,
He hears us.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-5- “For though we live in the
world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons
we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish
strongholds. We demolish, and we take captive every
thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
4. Keep asking the Spirit to take control of your life and get ready to praise God and
thank God for the great changes He is going to make in your life that will cause you
to enjoy many victories.
