Do we know our identity in Christ?
Victory is for you today, but you must take responsibility and you must access the power that lives on the inside of you.

How Do You Know if You are Living a Victorious Life?

Pay attention to the way you use your words.
Are you led by the Spirit, or are you led by the control of other people?
Are you bound to what other people are telling you to do? Or are you taking the rightful stance in the kingdom and living in victory?
