WE CAN OVERCOME ANYTHING IN LIFE

WE CAN OVERCOME ANYTHING IN LIFE: LOVE, PEACE, JOY, PATIENCE, AND HAPPINESS MAKES US CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US

Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

God’s love for us has given us the tools it takes to be conquerors of our life. But being a conqueror means more than overtaking and possessing that which belongs to another, with force. It also, when it comes to living a life for Christ,  means to take control over your life by the example He set; how and what you think about things; your reaction or what you do when confronted with a problem or situation; what you say and the choices of words that comes out of your mouth; how you receive what God allows in your life – blessings, testing, or chastising. In God’s scheme of things, it means living an all-around abundant life of love, peace, joy, patience, and happiness: a life worth living.

The above, underlined words are words chosen to help see what we need to give God what He expect of us and how to live in His expectation.

We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us and with this love He has enabled us to live (according to His word, will, and way) an abundant life. wants us t; Jesus loved us before we loved ourselves.  Through Jesus, our Lord and Saviour’s love we were, are, and will always be given permission to successfully overcome and take control of this life of excellency, God has intended us to live. And even though times, (that are dark and cannot be relied on), are in the forecast, we are to maintain the love of God in our hearts. This love, that we project to God and others, will circumvent whatever problem, weakness, circumstance, or situation which we face. And a level of joy, peace, strength, confidence, and boldness takes the place of being anxious and an unnatural care of what is going on in the world. When we initiate love in all we do, we will realize that, through Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, YHWH, God wants us to love and cherish one another. It is through and with love that we will know that He, God the Father, has got this. (1 John 4:9-10 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us).

Think about this. When you feel and show love there is a certain kind of peace that flows over and through you. This is the peace of God; one that all of us, if we want to be a conqueror in life’s battles (the troubles, trials, and problems in your life), need to strive toward. To obtain the peace God, through Jesus, have for us we must learn to go to Him for everything, tell Him about all of our concerns, and thank Him for being such an awesome Father to us, His most time, disobedient children. And when you keep your minds and hearts on Him, He will give you a peace that goes beyond your understanding. A peace, which let you know that you are truly in touch with the Holy Spirit (GOD) and you can feel God’s love which will cause your thoughts and actions, to transcend, (to rise above or go beyond; overpass; exceed: to transcend the limits of thought; kindness transcends courtesy. To outdo or exceed in excellence, elevation, extent, degree, etc.; surpass; excel); move you to a higher level of righteousness; a place in which the world cannot or will not take or allow you to go yet cannot keep you from doing so. Why? Because in Jesus’ name you have attained the first prize of God’s gift of consciousness. This peace will move you from a miserable wretch, a slave of this world, to an angelic witness, servant of God. (Philippians 4:6-7 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus).

You have got to get yourself in a position to receive this type of peace; a true and ongoing peace. Because these days are days of great uncertainty to those who have not completely surrendered and committed themselves to our God, YHWH, through His Son, Jesus Christ. We know that evil is at every hand, and you will be tempted day and night. We also know that when peace is tethered with love it produces power in the name of Jesus. And we surely know that the first time you stand firm for Jesus – not playing a role you have been given to play by man- you will be ridiculed, ostracized, and persecuted for standing for God, through Jesus rather than sitting for Satan, through man. You may be persecuted and reviled but to secure your peace you must learn to rejoice and be glad when experiencing all manner of false accusations and acts of evil against; God’s got it no worry, no fear. (Matthew 5:10-12,43-48 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you).

It has been written in Romans 8 that that we should count it all joy that for Jesus’ sake we will be killed (it is true that we may experience a physical death, but it is not always necessarily the physical body but the spirit) all day long. This act of dying for Christ’s sake can happen in many ways; for the love of money, hatred, political, religion, just to name a few. Yet we are to speak truth and do the righteous things regardless, every day. There are those who shiver at the mere mentioning of actually dying for Christ’s sake. But since our strength, power, and authority has been given by Christ, our Lord and Saviour to overcome the evils of this world, we are also given the righteous ability to count it joy and be happy at the fact that if we must die (any kind of death) it is for the LORD. And we need to take heed and know that we have His love to propel us to levels of courageousness and boldness enough to conquer death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, or things to come. Because those who are evil and wicked do not want the conviction Jesus brings against them. (Romans 8:36-38 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord). 

So, those of us who continuously serve Him with truth and gladness should remain steadfast in doing so. Develop patience. Even when we are regarded or looked upon as something to be quieted, destroyed, gotten rid of (sheep for the slaughter). And we are not to fear those who can kill the body only, but the One who holds your entire being in His hands and can send you to hell; who can destroy both the body and the soul. In other words, stop fearing man and what you think they can do to you, fear God only with a reverential fear. (Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell).  (James 1:1-5 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing).

But through it all we, as the children of the Most High God, from all that befalls us, when we are anchored in God, by the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ name, we will develop patience from, love, peace, joy. Complete happiness will be the side effect and we will to be able to conquer all that is set before us, whether it is blessings, testing, troubles, trials, or tribulations. When you get out of your world-given comfort zone and put your complete trust in Jesus Christ you will experience not just the ability to conquer all your worries and fears but contentment – true joy, love, peace, and patience, which equals to happiness. (Proverbs 16:20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: And whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he).

GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
