I was reading in John 16 vs.33 where Jesus was speaking to those who walked with HIM about the woes which everyone in life faces. HE tells them to be of good cheer ; that HE has overcome the world. Thank GOD!!!
There is nothing new under the SON. Today brings each of us our own unique tribulation. In the natural and the spiritual forces both seen and unseen are set up to help or hinder us depending upon our choices. Revelation 21 vs.7 tells us that those of us who overcome the world inherit all things and we become Sons Of GOD!!! What a GREAT promise!!!
How do we overcome this world ? Simply by becoming like JESUS!!! Asking GOD to dwell within us we can share in the same characteristics of CHRIST!!! When we ask the Holy Spirit to reside within us we are still human , however , GOD is able to use this human vessel to do HIS works through us . With GOD working through us we become new creatures!!! With a daily practice of allowing GOD to dwell in us and work through us we can overcome this world as well.
JESUS did not say that HE was going to overcome this world. HE stated that HE already had done so. JESUS at that time had the characteristics which we need to overcome the world. HE was human with GOD dwelling within HIM!!! To overcome this world and it’s tribulations we need to strive to be like CHRIST!!! Every morning I urge you to pray for the Holy Spirit to dwell within you that day!!! Overcome!!!
Mid-July in Kissimmee. here lies evidence of possible storms in our lives daily. I think that I will go check the clouds and see if I can see JESUS. I can certainly hear HIM coming. It is a lot like the sound of Silence!!!!!!! Mark
