What does victory mean? Well victory is when one team beats another team. Victory is when the other side surrenders. This is talking about the physical realm.
What about spiritual victory? We know that Satan is already defeated. So why do we struggle with him? We struggle with him, because we believe that he still has a chance to beat us. We say, "Well God wins in the end, but right now, Satan is really beating me up." Satan has already lost. He's trying to score after the whistle has been blown. He is trying to fight after he has been forced to surrender. His only power is in deception, and as long as he has us deceived to believe that we can lose to him, he has power over us.
As soon as we recognize that he really has no authority over us, then he loses the little power that we have given him. He will still try and tempt us, he will still try and deceive us, but in all reality he has no power, because he has lost.
I catch myself arguing with Satan sometimes. It doesn't make sense, but it happens. I don't have a full understanding of victory, but as God reveals more of His victory, the more I recognize my power over Satan.
