1 John 5:4-5 [MSG] “Every God-born person conquers the world’s ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith. The person who wins out over the world’s ways is simply the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God.”

‘The Rumble in the Jungle’ was a heavyweight championship boxing match between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali on October 30, 1974, in Kinshasa, Zaire. This event was one of the most watched televised events at the time.
During the fight, George Foreman who was the undefeated and undisputed heavyweight champion of the world was knocked out by Muhammad Ali in the eighth round. This defeat crushed George Foreman. Three years later, when he suffered another devastating defeat to Jimmy Young, George Foreman was so traumatized that he suffered a heart attack in his dressing room. But in that near-death experience, he had a divine encounter that caused him to surrender his life to Christ. Soon after this he retired from boxing. To everyone it appeared his boxing career had ended in defeat.
But ten years later, in 1987, George announced a comeback. At 38 years old and overweight, no one believed he could ever win a fight. But despite all the criticism and mockery, George trusted in God’s divine help and surprised people when he began winning his fights. In 1994, when he was 45 years old, George faced a fight with the WBA world champion Michael Moorer, who was 19 years his junior.
In one of the greatest comebacks in boxing history, George knocked out the 26-year-old Michael Moorer! George’s miraculous victory astounded the boxing world and made him the oldest heavyweight championship titleholder in history.
Through God’s help, George Foreman’s former defeated exit from his boxing career was turned around to a story of honor and glory.
We can always rise from the ashes of our failures to experience miraculous victories. As long as we abide strong in faith, it is only a matter of time before the battles turn around in our favor.
When David was anointed king over all of Judah and Israel, he faced a battle at the Valley of Rephaim, which means “giants.” He was faced by enemies that were greater than him. But as David prayed, God gave him dominion and victory over the Philistines. David then renamed the valley of giants and called it Baal-Perazim, which means “the God of the breakthrough.”
Certainly, through faith in God, we can defeat giants and experience breakthroughs in the place of breakdowns.
Therefore, we must not vacillate in our beliefs when we face tough battles.
No matter how difficult the situation, because we are born of God, we are born to overcome it.
1 John 5:4-5 [MSG] lets us know that the conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith.
In this new month of July, it is our season to break forth through exercising barrier-breaking faith. In this second half of the year, we are going to see turnaround miracles.
No matter any defeat you may have suffered in the first half of the year, it is your season to experience inexplicable victories and dominion. By His Blood, Christ has redeemed us to be kings and to reign on the earth.(Revelation 5:9–10).
This new month is certainly our season to reign over every challenge. Therefore, let us renew our commitment to diligently study God’s Word so that we can have the faith to always overcome. As we continually give God all the glory, it will be our season to continually experience His exceeding, abundant blessings in all areas of our lives.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for crossing me over to this second half of the year. In this new month of July, I receive the faith to break every barrier and emerge victorious in every battle in Jesus Name. .
