The Conquering Conquerors
“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.”
In dealing with God’s people over the years, I’ve found most, if not all, have a particular scripture or scriptures they favor. They apply these to their lives whenever difficult situations arise. For some years now, I’ve had four individual texts that the Holy Spirit uses to lift my drooping head and allow me to stand head and shoulders above the fracas of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Romans eight-thirty-seven is one of them.
There have been some great conquerors in history: Attila the Hun; Alexander the Great; and Genghis Khan, to name a few. But they were only conquerors; we are, “More than conquerors.” Whether things present or things to come, we’re promised to come through them as mighty conquerors. No condition! Only a simple act of faith in claiming it. That is, appropriating what God has already provided.
And just how and why is it that we common, feeble, peasant folk can, as it were, ride in from any and all skirmishes, great or small, as super-conquerors? It’s by the virtue of our Leader, Jesus Christ, and His Cross, time and eternity’s greatest conqueror. He conquered death, hell, and the grave! And no creature in heaven or hell can separate us from His unfathomable love and unfailing promise. AMEN and AMEN!
This is bedrock security!
