This kind of peace and inner wellness refers to an inward disposition of faith, an attitude of victorious confidence that refuses to surrender our will to what appears as total defeat. While all appears to be lost, yet we trust in the unseen plan and purpose of the omnipotent God, in whom we have trusted our lives. He is in control, He is God almighty¦ and through Him, we will eventually rise above every adversity.
Victory refers to that inner peace of God which surpasses all understanding (Phil. 4:7). It's the joy of the Lord which is our strength (Neh. 8:10). It is the that inner confidence that overcomes discouragement, doubt and unbelief. It is the assurance that God is in control, and as we love the Lord and live a life wholly consecrated to Him, we know all things and circumstances are somehow working together for our good. "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).
God wants all his children to live a victorious life, however, this is only possible through the walk of faith. Faith is that which enables us overcome all the trials, adversities and circumstances of his world (1 John 5:4). A victorious life of faith no longer lives by feelings, emotions or circumstances. It is no longer manipulated by the emotions of discouragement or depression. As people of faith, we live and abide according to what the Word of God says, not by what the circumstances say. "We walk by faith and not by sight" (2 Cor. 5:7). This walk of faith is what brings victory.
