Victorious Believers

“In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.” (Isaiah 6:1-4 KJV)

In our time so few have a real and legitimate vision of the Lord. Some see Him as the Saviour but not the Sovereign. To borrow a carnal phrase, “What’s up with that?” Folks are willing to receive the mercy and grace of God, forgiveness of sin, and adoption of sons, but feel no obligation to place Jesus Christ as authority over their lives. I know believers can sin, but we should always have a distain for sin and be quick to repent. Anything that would disgrace or dishonor our Redeemer is never to be repeated or practiced in our lives.

“Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.” (Isaiah 6:5 KJV)

Perhaps, it is because we have a distorted view of self. We have a tendency to think more of ourselves than we should. I recall several years ago there was a big trend to enhance the personal self image. Well, that did nothing but lead people to be self-centered and selfish, independent from God, and incredible ingrates.

However, not every Christian is like that. There are still many who lift up the Lord and place Him on the throne of their life. And when it comes to the call of God they have no hesitation to respond in the affirmative because they know Who God is and what they themselves are. These are the brothers and sisters I love being around. These are the ones who encourage me. These are those who live in victory and spend no time in chronic self pity.

“Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” (Isaiah 6:6-8 KJV)
