This is God’s plan for your life. Your situation may look far from this, but God wants to bring you to this point.
Romans 8:35+37 ‘Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us.’
(NLB) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, Who loved us.
What is a conqueror? A conqueror is someone who overcomes. It is someone who gains the upper hand. It is someone who defeats that which would like to defeat him! It is someone who prevails. It is someone who is completely and overwhelmingly victorious. This is God’s plan and purpose for you.
WE HAVE POWERFUL WEAPONS AT OUR DISPOSAL (Part 1)
We have not been left to fight the battle with no weapons. God has given us what we need in order to stand firm and fight any onslaught that may come against us.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 ‘For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.’
What are these weapons that we have access to?
The Word Of God
Psalm 119:50 ‘This is my comfort in my affliction, That Your Word has revived me.’
The old translation says: ‘thy Word hath quickened me.’ As believers we have the Word of God and it is a powerful tool. As believers we have a peculiar Source of strength. Others may think it strange, but God’s Word is living and powerful and His Word can overcome the greatest hurdle. The word quickened means to ‘make alive’. That is exactly what God wants to do for you and His Word is that powerful tool in your arsenal. Look to His Word, no matter what the trial you may be facing, it will never fail you!
Ralph Erskine said the following:
‘I can trust the words of God; but when they are the words of men, it costs me an effort to think whether I may trust them.’
Charles Spurgeon said:
‘There is more in one divine sentence than in huge folios of human composition.’
Let your soul leap at the very sound of the Word of God. It is every word of God that we are made to live and be kept alive. Feed on God’s Word no matter what your fight may be.
