20 Scriptures That Declare Your Victory

A popular television sketch reminded people to declare, “I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And doggone, people like me.” These positive affirmations began a trend that continues to this day of people declaring positive words over themselves.

However, positive affirmations can only go so far. God has provided a way for you to experience the victorious life that Jesus bought and paid for you to have, by confessing who you are in Christ. Second Corinthians 2:14 says, “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place” (NKJV). Your victory—your triumph in Christ—comes from agreeing with God about who you are in Christ, and you can do that by speaking these powerful 20 Scriptures That Declare Your Victory.
