Rom. 8:37- Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
The most powerful thing we have is the power to choose. Not even God can take away our right to do so. Why? Because He gave it to us and therefore cannot renege on what He has already set in place: “For I am the Lord, I change not… (Mal 3:6a).” All humans were born “Free Will Moral Agents.” Listen: Jesus died so that we might have the right to life, and that more abundantly (John 10:10). Yet, a man or woman has to make the choice to be wash in the blood of Jesus in order to receive the life He purchased with His life. Think about it! God gave us His son, so that all who believe in His work on the cross could live. However, if we chose not to receive Christ then we could die in our sins. Whatever the decision, the Father truly respects the choice.
My circumstances or situations do not dictate whether or not I am victorious or defeated. I do! If I choose to think, speak, or be defeated than I am defeated. Victory must become a state of mind before we see it in reality, not vice-versa. Having now faith—secures my victory, and speaks volumes on what I exercise inside me. Our eyes can only see what is before us, but faith sees what the natural eyes cannot perceive as real. Our ears may hear what we think to be true; but our spirits knows the truth, Jesus Christ in the person of the Holy Spirit! “He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith….” So—even though I may be having an unpleasant experience—I choose to think victorious thoughts regardless to what my outer life says. In spite of what’s happening right now, I am “more than a conqueror”! And this is what I choose to believe.
