Hello Friends,
Back in the day, I was associated with a group who believed in "Victorious Christian Living", or "Walking in Victory." I was under the impression that my fellow workers were "Walking in Victory", but somehow that was elusive to me.
The other day I read Arthur W. Pink on this subject and receive a fuller understanding:
Quote:
"The best of God's children (if there be any best!) are frequently afflicted with fits of unbelief and chillings of love. Today they find themselves earnestly proposing and resolving to do things which are good, but tomorrow discover their zeal has somewhat abated, so uncertain and inconsistent are their affections.
Now hopeful, anon despondent,
now singing God's praises, anon their harps upon the willows;
now walking obediently in the path of Divine precepts, anon straying off into bypath meadow.
None differ so much from them as they often differ from themselves!
Some will glorify God in one condition, but dishonor him in another.
They may conduct themselves becomingly while God keeps them low, and then become fretful against him when they are exalted.
On the contrary, others who tread softly in a time of prosperity are filled with murmurings when the cold winds of adversity smite them"
