This Is The Victory That Overcomes ALL Obstacles

I have various friends across the country that have really been in the spiritual battle of their lives. The actual trials are physical, emotional or financial but it all combines to create spiritual havoc. Many of you have been there and you know the heartache and frustration first hand.

I have been praying fervently for several of my dear friends and family. Many others have been praying fervently. I wish I had a Word from the Lord that divine deliverance is on the way very soon. I do not have that assurance at this moment but I do have this.

We may not feel victorious now. We may not look like winners today. We may seem to be on the losing end of the action for the moment. But do not count the Christian out yet.

When the Christian's world is turned upside down and all hope that we should be saved is now lost, we have a secret weapon. We have a sure advantage. We have a consolation that others can not depend on.

That consolation is this.

I John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

The trial may not be over but we are born of God and we will overcome the world in the end! That is the Word of a perfect gentleman! We will overcome the world! We are born of God! We are God's children!

Overcoming the world.
Defeating the devil.
Triumphant over temptation.
Thriving in the test.
Prevailing over problems.
Conquering calamity.
Success over satan.
Winning in spite of the world.

Overcoming the world!

How do we do that?

THIS is the victory that overcometh the world, even our FAITH.

Faith overcomes the world? Faith prevails? Faith conquers? Yes it does! Faith overcomes the world!

Faith must be powerful stuff to accomplish all thatIndeed it is, but our faith must be focused in the right direction.

Overcoming faith is Not faith in our experience

Not faith in a ministry

Not faith in a creed

Not faith in a book

Not faith in a system

Not faith in a church

Not faith in a man

Not faith in ourselves

Not even faith in our faith!

I John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Faith that overcomes is faith in Christ as the Son of God! Hallelujah! THAT Works!

You may not be able to trust your co-workers

You man not be able to trust your friends.

You may not be able to trust your neighbors

You may not be able to trust your government

You may not be able to trust your family

You may not be able to trust your yourself

But you can trust Christ! You can put your faith in the Son of God. You can rely on Him!

He is dependable, my dear friends. He is trustworthy. He is reliable. He is honorable. He is steadfast. He is sure. He is faithful. He is true! Hallelujah!

You can trust Christ! You can place all of your faith in Christ! There is overcoming power in that kind of faith!

Do not give up. Do not give in. Do not be talked into premature surrender. The battle is not over, but you are going to win. Have faith in the Son of God and you will overcome the world!

Thanks for reading today.
