Why aren't victories permanent?

You know...this has happened to me, and I'm sure others. I thought once you have a victory, you have a victory. But no. What I've experienced is more like, say there's an "iffy" situation I'm dealing with, which has potential to turn out bad. Then something happens that shows that there's hope, and it defeats the "bad possibilities." Say that's Monday. Then, thinking I have the victory, on Tuesday something happens with the situation that puts me back in the "bad category" again. But Wednesday hope is back again, as God miraculously solves it. But before I can celebrate too long, the next day it goes bad again. Either that, or I "dodge a bullet" in a situation, and then another situation comes along which carries a very similar problem. So the questions, 1, has this happened to any of you? And 2, what's the reason for this "flip-flopping?" What exactly is going on here, that God wins the battle for you, only to let the devil win "round two" the next day? What's up?

If God allowed the devil to win round 2 the next day there is a deep spiritual reason he is allowing it. If you go into prayer and fasting you can get deep insight into the reason for this. Get into heavy prayer. Something is happening. If you get it right in the prayer room it will get right on the outside life. Go to your inner room.

Yes, this has happened to me. It is spiritual warfare. I believe it helps strengthen our faith. We have to focus on Jesus through the process. Sometimes when I think that I have won, I let down my spiritual guard, this makes it easy for the enemy to take back ground. However, usually in the end I find out why it didn't work out or what was going on. I can look back on the tough situations and see what I had to learn.

It happens to a lot of us. Like God did with Job He is showing Satan that He has faithful followers. So no matter what comes our way we must praise and thank God for everything that comes our way. Like Job we will be rewarded.

Because we are not yet ready or perfected.

We should continue having Faith in God that one day our victory will be permanent in Jesus name. Amen. God knows why everything happens to us the way it dies. We should just keep being strong in Faith and our miracle shall be permanent. thank you Jesus.

If I don't get a heart attack from the stress before that.
