I have overcome the world

​“Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Whatever it is that we face today let us face it with courage because, “Greater is He that is in us that he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)

Is it not true at this moment that the world is overcome in us through Christ Jesus? Does self govern us? Are we working to acquire wealth for our own aggrandisement? Are we living to win honour and fame among men? Are we afraid of men’s frowns? Are we the slaves of popular opinion? Do we do things because it is the custom to do them? Are we the slaves of fashion? If we are, then we know nothing about this victory. But if we are true Christians then we are overcomers today. The world has no dominion over us, though it tempts us, frightens us, and flatters us and then turns against us. We rise above it by the power of thy Spirit, for the love of Christ constrains us. We live not for ourselves and the things that are seen, but our love is for Christ and toward things invisible.  Charles Spurgeon

By the blood of the Lamb we overcome fear, depression, anxiety, stress, worry, and concern. We are more than conquerors!
