AN OVERCOMING SEASON?
Hello Fellow Prayer Warriors!
Since when are we NOT in an OVERCOMING SEASON?
Colossians 1:22-23 (TPT, emphasis added) - "And now there is nothing between you and Father God, for he sees you as holy, flawless, and restored, if indeed, you continue to advance IN FAITH, assured of a firm foundation to grow upon. Never be shaken..."
The life of the believer IS a life of OVERCOMING while we are ON EARTH!
We are called to OVERCOME every single day. We are to OVERCOME negative thoughts and feelings with the Word of God.
We have to choose the words, the thoughts, and the feelings that line up with GOD'S WORD AND KINGDOM - OUR NEW KINGDOM, OUR HOME! (Heb. 12:22-23)
We do so with the leadership and guidance of the Holy Spirit, through obedience, for an OVERCOMING lifestyle - every moment of every day!
Every time you resist the temptation to speak wrong (even to hurt someone with your words or actions), every time you resist unforgiveness, hate, lies, deception, etc., you are OVERCOMING!
OVERCOMERS are those that resist the devil and, instead, do the Word of God - do it with their mouths, their actions, their choices - they choose the Word of God.
They choose the ways of God.
They choose the way of the Holy Spirit.
They choose to obey the Holy Spirit's leading.
This is what an OVERCOMER does.
We have been called to live a life of OVERCOMING the works and ways of the devil, the ways of the flesh, and, instead, choose Christ.
Choose the Spirit.
Choose the Word.
Choose the truth.
Choose righteousness.
Choose holiness.
Choose faith - the way of faith in God.
All of these actions take faith - that is why we are called to live by faith. This is what the faith-walk looks like.
Faith brings us into OVERCOMING!
"True love for God means obeying his commands, and his commands don't weigh us down as heavy burdens. You see, every child of God OVERCOMES THE WORLD, for OUR FAITH is the victorious power that triumphs over the world." (1 John 5:3-4 TPT, emphasis added)
