The word for today is - Overcomer !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Overcomer !
 
You must understand that we are living in a time where mankind has become so disconnected from the word of God.Read Deuteronomy 20:4,For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.Then the Lord has done something on our behalf, He has set us up. Read Deuteronomy 1:21,Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.You are an overcomer, so get moving the land is yours. Whatever you put your mind to do move forward. Read Ephesians 4:22-24,That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. You need to have a renewed mind in order to overcome the things of this world. Lets look at the greatest overcomer of time, Jesus! Now, Jesus who had never sinned, chose to die as a substitute for sinners, read Hebrews 2:9,But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. . Jesus then showed His power over death and sin by rising from the dead on the third day read Matthew 28;18,And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Also, read Revelation 1:18, I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.Because of Christ, death is a defeated foe. Read 1 Corinthians 15:54-55, So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  The grave is powerless over the power of God. Now look at Hosea 13:14,I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.Did you get that? It says, I will ransom them and I will redeem them from dead. This is Jesus talking,nothing can overtake me.The word tells us all that overcomes the trick of the evil one, will make it into the kingdom. Read Revelation 3:21,To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. How do we overcome Him, with the word from God. Read Revelation 12:11,And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.The first thing that God has provided in this life so that we can have victory over the wiles of the devil is the blood of the Lamb. Jesus gave His blood on the cross so that we could have the forgiveness of sins. It’s the work of the devil to tempt us to fall into sin so that we will fail God and become alienated from Him. We are accepted by God not because of our own accomplishments but because of the blood of Christ. It was important to Christ that His believers be testimonies on the earth. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus said, "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." One of the last things that Jesus said to the disciples in the gospels was, "Go you into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." There was also a very special promise made by Christ to those who bear witness of His name. In Luke 12:8 Jesus said, "Whosoever shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father which is in heaven." Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
