Often, we can feel overwhelmed by the pressures and challenges of the Christian pathway. God desires for us to be overcomers for His glory. How do we overcome the pressures of sin, the flesh, and the devil? What is the secret power of the overcomer? The scriptures point us to the Lord Jesus, the great Savior who overcame the world. The secret power to being an overcomer is to trust in a person, not in ourselves, but in the one who has conquered sin and death: the living Lord Jesus.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Ephesians 2:1-8 “2 and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins—2 in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience:3 among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:4 but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,5 (we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)
6 and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,7 that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.8 For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God’s gift:”
John 16:32-33 “32 Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me.33 These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.”
Revelation 3:20-22 “20 Behold, I stand at the door and am knocking; if any one hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and sup with him, and he with me.
21 He that overcomes, to him will I give to sit with me in my throne; as *I* also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father in his throne.22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
