Episode 00010: Your Victory Is Already Won
December 13, 2025
Greeting
Welcome back to The Daily Spirit. Saturday, December 13th, 2025. Five minutes of spirit-filled encouragement to carry you into the weekend.
Opening Hook & Scripture
Have you ever had something feel impossibly big—when really, it was small once you actually got to doing it?
A task that should take twenty minutes but you've been avoiding for weeks, maybe even months!
A conversation you need to have. An email sitting in your drafts. Something so simple for other people, but for you? It feels like climbing a mountain.
I'm more and more convinced every day that the devil is real. And he's trying to stop you from achieving your kingdom purpose.
1 John 4:4: "The One who is in you is far greater than the one who is in the world."
The enemy wants to make bunny hills feel like mile-high walls. He wants lack, fear, and confusion to paralyze you. But God did not give you a spirit of fear.
The Story
I'll be honest with you. I had insecurities about finances. Money trauma. I've declared that I've been set free from it, and I'm continuing to declare that.
There are things that have felt so difficult, like basic bookkeeping, sending an invoice, having a conversation about payment—that feel like mountains to climb. Things other people do without thinking twice.
That's the devil's playground. The mind. Making the smallest things feel like the biggest things. Specifically the things that would unlock your next level.
Core Message
Here's what I want you to hear today.
The victory is already won. You are a citizen of the Kingdom. You have a God-given purpose you're meant to achieve. And as far as I'm concerned, it's just about you remembering that. Claiming your citizenship. And not being afraid to do things that feel really big but are honestly so simple.
Action produces progressive revelation. You don't get to see the next step until you take the first step in faith. The path reveals itself through movement.
So stop being afraid of doing what God designed you to be more than capable of doing.
Sabbath Invitation
But here's the other thing. It's Saturday.
This weekend, I want you to rest. Carve out a pocket of time to just be. Spend time with your loved ones. Spend time with your family. Honor the Sabbath.
Then pick it back up fearlessly on Monday. Walk in faith.
Affirmations
Let's speak some truth over your weekend. I'll say it, you repeat.
[Pause after each for repetition]
The One in me is greater than the one in the world.
My victory is already won.
I am a citizen of the Kingdom.
Small tasks will not defeat me.
Action produces revelation.
I rest without guilt.
Closing
That's it for today.
Rest well this weekend. Remember who you are. And I'll see you Monday.
God is with you.
