We don't often see ourselves as overcomers. We tend to focus more on our circumstances or our failures then on who we are in Christ.
The apostle John said this,
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. (1 John 5:4)
The faith of God is more powerful then the world. Therefore those that have it are more powerful then the world.
The apostle John also said,
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them [evil spirits], because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
The faith of God is more powerful then the evil spirits at work in the world. Therefore those that have it are more powerful then the demonic forces in the world.
No wonder the apostle James said, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you."
(James 4:7)
Our theme this year at Calvary Chapel Space Coast has been, "Overcome, or Be Overcome". This is not a season for the church of Jesus Christ to sit back and relax and take a breather. This is a season for the church of Jesus Christ to move against the forces of evil at work in this world and OVERCOME!
Yours in Him,
Pastor B.
