Living In The Victory Of Christ

Wednesday May 7th, 2014 - Pastor Chris.

Nay, in all these things we are more
than conquerors through him that
loved us (Romans 8:37).
When the Lord Jesus appeared to His
disciples after His resurrection, He
announced, "All hail" (Matthew 28:9).
This was a shout of victory. 1 John 3:8
says, "For this purpose was the Son of
God manifested that He might destroy
[shatter, paralyze] the works of the
devil."The enemy has been defeated
and his works, paralyzed. Jesus has
already done it. He's not trying to
make us victorious today; we're
already victors in Him. We're not
trying to conquer; we're already more
than conquerors.
Some people haven't really understood
our opening verse, but it means
exactly what it says. To say "we're
more than conquerors" means the
victory over our adversary is a
foregone conclusion; we're no longer
celebrating his defeat. We're living in
the victory already.
Imagine a sportsman, who wins a gold
medal. He lifts his trophy in
celebration and everyone rejoices with
him. After that, the officials tell him
that his victory is worth 5 million
dollars, which they go ahead to pay
into his account. Soon after, he starts
living off his prize-money. At that
point, he's no longer celebrating his
victory, but living in his victory;
because he's now using the money he
won.
In the same way, you should no longer
be struggling with the devil, fear,
sickness, disease, or with failure,
because you've gone past that level.
Your victory over satan, his cohorts,
and their evil works of darkness was
announced when Jesus defeated and
paralysed them in hell. You celebrated
that victory when you found out that
you were in Christ in His triumph over
Satan and the cohorts of hell. Now,
we're more than conquerors; living in
the victory of Christ
PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for making
me a victor in Christ Jesus, and an
overcomer in this life. The greater One
lives in me; He's greater that the
adversary and the systems of this
world. In Him, I have power, dominion,
and authority over sickness, disease,
death, the flesh, and the devil. I'm
more than a conqueror, in Jesus'
Name. Amen.
