20 Amazing Scriptures on Victory to Help You Overcome
Are you desperate to overcome some obstacles in your life? God’s Word is full of scriptures on victory to help us overcome the enemy’s attacks that come against us.
Yet we aren’t just called to know the scriptures on victory, but the Bible tells us to be doers of the Word (James 1:22)- to apply those scriptures and to speak those scriptures to the mountains in our lives (Mark 11:23).
God’s Word is one of the most powerful weapons He’s given us to combat the enemy.
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
Hebrews 4:12 NLT
We have victory over the enemy in Christ. Jesus took the weight of our sins on the cross and canceled every charge against us.
You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.
Colossians 2:13-15 NLT
Let me say it again, YOU have victory in Christ. His work was finished on the cross. Because of His victory on the cross, we can have victory over any obstacle we face. But that doesn’t mean that the enemy doesn’t try to tempt us to believe otherwise.
The battle we face is not just a natural one. No, the battle we face is a spiritual one that takes place in our minds and is won through confessing the Word with our mouths and guarding our hearts and minds with its truths.
How do we do that? Let’s take a look….

Speaking the Word
When we speak the Word of God, it’s as if Jesus Himself is speaking. In fact, in John 1:1 we learn that Jesus IS the Word made flesh. There is a power we possess in speaking the Word out loud when the enemy comes against us.
When Jesus was lead into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted by the devil, he responded by speaking scripture.
During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Matthew 4:3-4 NLT
Guard our Minds & Hearts
Paul encourages us in Ephesians 6 to put on the FULL ARMOR of God, because our battle is not one of flesh and blood.
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6:13-17 NLT
Guarding our hearts and minds begin with a knowledge of what the Word says. When we know what Christ died to give us, we can counteract the lies of the enemy by speaking the Truth.
When we are faced with circumstances that feel overwhelming or obstacles that seem insurmountable, we can confess scriptures on victory that will keep our minds focused on the truth of what the Bible says about our circumstances.
