One of the more prominent attacks that the enemy launches against us is the attack against our faith and confidence in God and His word. If he can get us out of faith and confidence, we lose our boldness. This is why it is so vital that we connect with God every day. When we call upon God, and in some cases, cry out to God, He hears us, and His Spirit and His word reassures us that He is with us. He never leaves nor forsakes us. King David said this in Psalm 138:3: “In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul”. He knew that his strength came from God. When He cried out to God, He would receive boldness and strength in his soul. When we go through difficulties in life, we need boldness and strength in our souls. We cannot effectively fight if we are defeated on the inside. Today, cry out to God. He promises that He hears his children. By His Spirit and His word, He will restore your faith, boldness and confidence, and renew your strength on the inside. Your soul will be refreshed and encouraged so that you can finish strong!
Overcomers inherit the blessings!
An overcomer is: “One who succeeds in dealing with or gaining control of some problem or difficulty, one who refused to be defined by any past failure or struggle.” Similar words are: “to defeat, to conquer, to beat, master, prevail, stop.” Therefore, to overcome has to do with one who has to confront problems or difficulties, and defeat or conquer them. In our walk with God, Jesus told us that we would go through difficulties, temptations, persecution, unfair attacks, etc. However, by His Spirit, He gives us the overcoming power to defeat the plans, attacks, tricks, deceits of the wicked one. One very important principle in overcoming is that we have to do our part in standing by faith in agreement with God’s plan for our lives. Sometimes it gets so hard that many have the tendency or desire to simply give up. That is what differentiates the overcomers from the ones who give in to defeat and give up. We are instructed to “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10). So put on the whole armor of God every day and be that “overcomer” that inherits the promises of God!
Revelation 21:7 “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.”
