Are you an overcomer?

Are you an overcomer? John 16:33 says “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

To be an overcomer means that you have overcome something. You have been in a battle or at a disadvantage, yet you have found a way to overcome. The apostle John taught about how God in Christ causes us to overcome. In Him, we are overcomers!

1 John 2:14 – I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.

1 John 4:4 – You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

1 John 5:4 – For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

1 John 5:5 – Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

The Lord Jesus made it possible for us to overcome. So once again I ask, are you an overcomer?

You were created for dominion!

We were created for dominion. When we are in right relationship with God, we overcome obstacles, we break through barriers, we challenge the word and notion “impossible,” we don’t give up, we don’t give in, we excel, we strive, we press in, we press on, we pressed upward. Our God is a warrior, and we have his DNA!  Remember, your storm or crisis is temporary. Storms have expiration dates. Storms came to pass, not to stay. When a storm comes, it cleans up the atmosphere. It removes anything that is not anchored or rooted in. You might have experienced a storm in the year 2018. But all that storm did was strengthen you, cleanse you, and clarify your path. This year, your path is clear. The storm is behind you, and blue skies are ahead of you

Romans 8:28 (NKJV) “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

Genesis 1:26 (KV) “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
