Commentary from Pastor Michael White:
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. – 1 Jn 4:4
Jesus conquered the grave. In one fell swoop, as He hung and died on the Cross, Jesus Christ won a decisive and permanent victory over death. Satan can no longer win any ground against Jesus.
Jesus is of God, and so are you. If you believe Jesus is Lord, His Holy Spirit lives in you! That means you are a beneficiary of His victory over death. Because You are in Him, you have already overcome (past tense) every enemy. It is done! The battle is finished, and there is nothing and no one left to fight! You are guaranteed victory before you even take one step forward!
As Christians, we do not fight for victory; we fight from victory! Our privilege is to go out and declare the word of God, in the name of Jesus, knowing that every knee bows at His name (Phil 2:9-11). You are more than a conqueror (Rom 8:37)! The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead gives you power to perform the supernatural on Heaven’s behalf (Rom 8:11)!
Today is going to be a good day. You’re barely even awake; but you are already victorious in Jesus! Now go out and live for His glory.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for victory! I know that I am more than a conqueror. I am seated in Jesus, at the right hand of God, in heavenly places! The enemy can never drag me down, because Jesus has already lifted me up!
