Indicators of a Strong Spirit

1. You are assured and confident. When you are assured and confident that what God said is true and will come to pass in your life, you will approach life with confident certainty and will not struggle with fear and doubt.

2. You are established and immovable. If your spirit is strong, you will not be afraid of bad news, or anything the devil tries to throw at you. You are fixed on the Lord and His Word, and you cannot be talked out of it.

3.You are ready for anything. Having a strong spirit doesn’t mean you don’t have any trials come your way—it means you know how to handle them when they do (Philippians 4:13).

4. You have an overcomer’s attitude. You know you are more than a conqueror and you apply that to your everyday life. You don’t let the devil get you down; you don’t let setbacks steal your joy; you don’t tolerate sickness, disease or lack in your life; and you stand for your family with everything you have—firmly planted on the Word of God.

5. You don’t give up and you NEVER quit. A person with a strong spirit won’t quit—no matter how long it takes for the Word to manifest in his or her life. If you have a strong spirit, long periods of time won’t move you; bad news won’t move you, and doubters all around won’t move you. You will not quit (Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 10:32; Nehemiah 8:10; Philippians 4:6-7).

6. You exhibit the fruit of the spirit. A strong spirit lives out love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentle­ness, goodness and faith. You won’t just say you believe in love, you’ll show it. You won’t just say, ‘We should have joy,’ you’ll live it.
