(We Live In The Victory Of Christ Jesus)
TO THE BIBLE: Romans 8:35-37 ESV
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, ‘For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
LET’S TALK
Our opening scripture tells us very evidently and unequivocally that no tribulation (trouble), distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, nor sword shall be able to separate us from God’s love.
It then concludes by saying that we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us, Christ Jesus. Being more than a conqueror means you conquered in Christ before the earth itself was founded!
This should give you immediate comfort, peace, and joy. You’re right now living in the victory of Christ.
Remember, the Lord assured us of victory over crises and challenges when He said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33).
The Bible says in 1 John 4:4 AMPC, “Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.” You’ve been lifted over and above the corrupting influences of this world. Hallelujah!
There’s nothing to struggle with or try to overcome anymore. When He arose from the grave a victor and a champion, you were in Him. Don’t allow the circumstances of life make you a victim.
You were born into the victorious life in Christ: “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place” (2 Corinthians 2:14 NASB). Glory!

Speak:
Thanks be to God who always causes me to triumph in Christ and spread the sweet-smelling fragrance of His knowledge in every place! Thank you, Father, for my victorious life in Christ! I live in triumph over circumstances, in total fulfillment, joy, glory and dominion, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
