I am more than a conqueror...
Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

But now in Christ Jesus you who
once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:13
“One day
Napoleon was standing before his army after he was defeated at Waterloo. He was
trying to cover his losses and see what his next move would be. Napoleon
realized that his quest for world domination was practically over. He had a map
of the world on the wall and on that map the British Isles were marked in red.
Napoleon angrily said to his generals, as he pointed to the red marked on that
map, ‘Were it not for that red spot, we would have conquered the world!’
“I can
imagine Satan gathering his hoards after Jesus’ death on Calvary. All of the
demon spirits and the generals of hell
listening as Satan pointed to the blood drenched slopes of Calvary and said, ‘Were
it not for that red spot, we would have conquered the world!’
“But because
of what Jesus has done for us, ‘we are more than conquerors through Him who
loved us’ (Romans 8:37). And it’s because of the blood of Jesus Christ that you
can have full confidence that sin and Satan have been conquered in your life.
“The blood
of Christ is the very power of God. It is by His death and resurrection that we
have any hope of salvation at all. So remember that by the power of Christ’s
blood, you have all the victory you need in the name of Jesus Christ!
“THE BLOOD
OF CHRIST SAVES YOU FROM SIN AND GIVES YOU VICTORY OVER SATAN. SO CLAIM THAT
TRUTH IN YOUR LIFE AND LIVE VICTORIOUSLY THANKS TO HIS FINISHED WORK!”
I thank God
for that “red spot” – for it has washed and cleansed me and made me white as
snow – and it gives me the power to have the victory over the enemy every
single day! There is nothing you or I
will face that can’t be overcome by that “red spot” – the blood of Jesus is
powerful – and when we place ourselves under it, we are transfused with it –
and transformed into conquerors! Is
there a besetting sin in your life?
Something that you can’t seem to get control over? Submit it to the blood of Jesus – take it to
Him – He has promised to give you victory over it! Sadly, I talk to too many Christians who
would rather wallow in their “inability” to live victorious lives than to take
the time and effort to allow Jesus to transform them. We are without excuse when it comes to
ongoing, continuing sin! If you’re doing
something you know is wrong and you don’t stop – it’s not because you “can’t” –
it’s because you “won’t!” Dear one, I
hope that you will make the choice today to allow God to empower you to live a
victorious life! Sharon
