Have you ever asked yourself this question?

As Christians, do you ever find that the life described in the Bible seems to be a far cry from where you are, or what your are experiencing in your life? One particular instance that sticks in my mind happened many years ago.

We were living in a small house in Southern California. I always seemed to be just one little step ahead of disaster, and sometimes the disaster seemed to step right on me! I could never seem to "get ahead", or get "a handle" on my life. Circumstances ruled over me and I felt that all I did was run from one emergency situation to the next. I was running in the "emeregency lane" of life: putting out the "fires" burning around me for that day, only to wake up the next and start all over again! Does this sound familiar?

On day, I hit bottom. Overdue bill notices were in the mail, and my dog had jumped the fence and was out running the neighborhood, and now so was I! When I finally returned home, I sat down at my kitchen table and said to God: "Your word tells me that You always cause me to triumph in Christ, and that in all these things I am more than a conquerer. If this is victory, I don't want to know defeat!" I looked at my hands as I continued, "It says that you train our hand for war and our fingers for battle: TEACH ME TO BATTLE AND WIN!"

This blog is dedicated to that end. God lead me on a fantastic adventure to victory in many areas of my life. I have had increadible answers to prayer and I would like to share them with those who are wondering how to PRAY TO WIN!

I hope to explore many wonderful truths in God's word, such as Who our God is, and who we are in Him! He has given us so many precious promises and He is faithful to His Word! I hope you will join me:

To Triumph In Christ
