I woke up with a song on my mind that comes from the verse above. "We've been made more than conquerors. Overcomers in this life. We've been made victorious, through the blood of Jesus Christ". Like I said, this song comes from the verse above, therefore, it is the Word of God.
So, if Jesus has made us not only conquerors but more than conquerors, why do we live and act so defeated? Why do we allow things to upset us and defeat us the way they do? Why do we give up and give in so easily when trials and problems come? Why do we "tuck our tails" and run when the going gets tough? Why are we depressed, anxious, fearful and whinny? Why do we murmur and complain about everything? Why do we act like there is no hope? Why are we wallowing in self-pity? Why can't we rise above the circumstances that weigh us down? If you will be honest, you know many Christians like this--- yourself included. There is something terribly wrong with this. How can Jesus have made us more than conquerors and we are so defeated at the same time? It just doesn't make sense-- it is just not right!
There are many reasons why. The first is because we don't spend enough time in His presence to get a revelation of who He actually is and who He is in us. Second, we believe everything everyone says and don't believe what God says. That is because we spend such little time reading the Bible and renewing our minds with it. It is no wonder we believe that we are defeated.
It is time for the church and it is time for you as an individual to rise up strong in the Lord and the power of His might and stop allowing everything to defeat you. You are more than a conqueror through Jesus. The greater One lives in you. You have been given power over all the powers of the enemy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. The Holy Spirit empowers you to rise above and not be trodden beneath the cares and trials of life. You need to get in your prayer closet and stay there until you "see Jesus" as He is and "see yourself" because of Him as a conqueror.
Have a great day. We are more than conquerors. We are not defeated. So stop acting like it!
