5 Steps to Victory in Christ

Ben CerulloBy Ben Cerullo•3 Minutes

Are you wondering how to live in victory in Christ when life feels anything but victorious? Many believers wrestle with disappointment when the Christian life doesn’t unfold the way they expected. Struggles persist, temptations return, and spiritual battles rage on. Ben Cerullo shares 5 steps that will help you experience real spiritual breakthrough and live from the victory Jesus has already won.

. . .

The Real Battle Begins After Salvation

I’ve met many believers who become disappointed when things don’t go their way. They have fallen prey to the common misconception that all their problems and struggles would vanish once they started a relationship with Jesus.

However, let’s be honest: Life can be tough. Even as Christians, we’ll face many challenges—including some new ones we didn’t have to deal with as unbelievers.

You see, before we were saved, we were no threat to the devil. But when we accepted Jesus into our hearts, something changed. We took up a new residence in the spiritual battlefield and immediately became an enemy of Satan.

5 Steps to Victory in Christ

If your struggles seem overwhelming today, these five steps will help you to find a place of victory in the Lord:

  1. Quit relying on your own strength. Realize that the only way to experience lasting victory is through the power of the Holy Spirit and reliance upon what Jesus accomplished for you on the cross.
  2. Cry out to God, and repent of any known sins. Ask God to forgive you and deliver you. Turn away from your chains, sin, and bondage, and run into the arms of your loving Father, Savior, and Deliverer.
  3. Be accountable. Surround yourself with solid believers to lean on for prayer and support to help you during times of temptation or struggle.
  4. Passionately pursue God. Commit yourself to spending daily time with Jesus, and get to know Him intimately. Press into His Word and His presence until He’s your everything.
  5. Fight the good fight. The Bible says there’s a fierce spiritual battle for your soul (Ephesians 6:10-18). You must stand in the victory Jesus has already won for you. Defend it, stand on it, and walk in it!

. . .

You don’t have to fight alone … and you don’t have to wonder how to live in victory in Christ!

Ben Cerullo is the son of David Cerullo and the grandson of the late Morris Cerullo. He comes from a rich spiritual heritage—his father, David Cerullo, is chairman and CEO of Inspiration Ministries, a ministry that reaches more than a billion potential people daily through its worldwide television networks, video-on-demand, online streaming, and other media outreaches. His grandfather, the late Dr. Morris Cerullo, was recognized around the world for his dedication to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, bringing the salvation message to more than 200 nations and territories throughout his nearly seven decades in ministry.

Named by Charisma Magazine as one of the "30 Emerging Voices" who will lead the church in the next decade, Ben's ministry carries a powerful anointing and prophetic message. Over the course of his evangelistic career, he traveled extensively—both domestically and internationally—ministering in more than 27 nations, with God confirming His Word with signs following.

In 2000, Ben started Steelroots, one of the first ministries to blend action sports with Christian music to reach youth. Under his leadership, Steelroots sponsored live events and produced groundbreaking television programs that brought an unconventional approach to modern-day evangelism, crossing cultural and generational boundaries to reach a broad international television audience.

In 2007, Ben felt God's call to move in a new direction—to reach the nations of the world. As doors opened, he held meetings in places such as Sierra Leone, Honduras, Peru, Haiti, Sri Lanka, India, Brazil, Colombia, England, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Taipei, Taiwan, and Mexico.

Today, Ben continues to minister through Inspiration Ministries, reaching audiences around the world through digital media and the written word.
