I want to remind every one of us today that we are not victims to our circumstances, but we are victors. See, God called us more than conquerors. We’re not a slave to circumstances. We’re not captivated by our own thoughts, but we can think the thoughts of heaven. We can literally think the thoughts of our champion Jesus Christ.
He says that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. You know what? When I think of a conqueror, you know what I think of? I I just picture this this ring with two boxers in there. And I think about these boxers and how they have those big old boxing gloves on and they they smack each other in the face. And you know what? They don’t fall down. They keep on at it. They keep at it.
They keep at it because they’re champions. They don’t go into that ring thinking they’re anything less but a champion. Now, if they get knocked down, have you ever watched them? They bounce back up. See, champions have bounce back in them. And God has called you a champion in Jesus Christ. God has said, “You have bounce back.
” But how do we keep this mental bounce back? How do we keep this emotional bank account full? You see, just like you keep money in your bank, you wouldn’t think about writing a check, not having any money in your bank. So, you work to keep money in your bank. You check your bank account. You make sure it’s going to cover your life, cover your bills, cover your children.
Well, we have to do the exact same thing with our emotional bank account. We have to make sure we’re covered. We have to make sure we’re strong. See, I think about those boxers and you know what they have? They have mental toughness. They have mental toughness. They don’t go in that ring as soon as they get hit, they think, “Oh, that’s it. I’m out. I’m done.” No, they have prepared their minds.
