How can a Christian live a life of consistent victory?
It would seem that one of the most frustrating things in the life of a believer is the struggle to find consistent victory. With a plethora of baptized self-help books, devotionals for every color, gender, and day, and the "Prayer of Jabez", one could easily assume that victory is thoroughly enjoyed by most who call themselves "Christian". However, I have good reason to believe that we live in a society that is permeated with the smiling faces of a "Christian Masquerade". Therefore, how can we find genuine,consistent, victory and remove our masks?

My opinion , is try to strive daily to do what is realistically right. Man is human and will er, can disappoint you and you have to be prepared for that.
Seek for the good that you see learn from the achievements of that, and read inspirational positive based sources for spiritual growth daily.

One way to live in victory is not let your emotions rule you. Learn to hear God and know his will for your life. Constantly rely on him step by step to get you through whatever your going through. Don't let feelings of disappointment cause you to fall into a depression.When you begin to feel depression cast it off and run to God. You know Jesus grew and sat in a waiting period for most of his life.Sometimes Christians feel they aren't being victorious because they are still sitting in that waiting period. Waiting for the vision to become a reality. Waiting to be delivered. God keeps us in a long waiting period so he can mold us and get us ready for what ever is around the corner . Also in everything you go through it is for God's glory and you need to stay humble to that fact. It is the Grace of God that gets you through the days. Part of the waiting period is to learn how to lean on the Lord completely. So you can't turn around and say I did this myself. Submerse yourself in the word for whatever situation you are in. Look for Answers to your questions in the bible. And just stay true to yourself and God don't live a sinful life. Yes, we sin but don't make Jesus sacrifice an excuse to sin. You are righteous you will be victorious. Read Deuteronomy 28. It is awesome! Take care and God bless.

First realize we are all human. We make mistakes. When we watch what we say and do. And, be careful what we say and do has or makes results.. bad as well as good. However, we aren't perfect.. we come clean. With the higher power.. and do alot of damage control. Then God will do the rest. Also, do alot of random act of kindness everywhere you go helps.. Along with going to church, participating in there community functions,. As well reading God materials and not preach the word but spread his patience and encouragement on a daily basis.. by actions. Smiling and thinking positive thoughts also helps. When you are having one of those bad hair days pray about it, talk to someone about it also immediately.

Great answer by nikki1, thumbs up! The answer resides within the darkness of pride. Yes, many "Christians" live a hypocritical life and that's a shame. Deity knows our follies. Our journey, though heartwrenching at times, is to continue to make covenants (promises) with Him and to completely and sincerely try to forsake the sin you are struggling to overcome. Good works and charity are key components to your progress as nikki1 explained.
As a clergyman it is extremely difficult to effectively counsel individuals of the dangers of being a Christian hypocrite. In fact, you cannot live a completely Christian life if you are being such. You may desire to but it is folly until you forsake pride and those masks worn every minute of every day.
Losing yourself in the service of others is the best way to truly finding yourself. Why? When you serve the needs of others you will begin to recognize your own needs being met by an unseen power. This is a paramount tool for building your own testimony of the truthfulness of the things you learn.

Praying incessantly and staying in God's Word are the first two things that come to mind. Attending a good Bible preaching church, weekly Bible study and fellowship with believers is essential. Belonging to a small group is also good for learning and accountability. Above all else, Christ must be the number one priority and focus in a person's life.
