"Ye
are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that
is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)
Under
the circumstances... Have you ever caught yourself using that phrase? I suppose
I'm doing pretty well under the circumstances."
If
you've ever said something like that, I want you to kick those words out of
your vocabulary right now. Because you, as a victorious child of God, don't
have any business living your life "under"
Your
circumstances. You don't have any business letting problems and situations rule
over you.
Two
thousand and fourteen years ago, Jesus--the One Who is in you--ransacked
Satan's kingdom. Through His death at Calvary, He legally entered the regions
of the damned and stripped Satan of everything. He took away all his Armour. He
took the keys to death and hell. He bound that strong man, looted his kingdom,
and Colossians says He spoiled principalities and powers and made a show of
them openly, triumphing over them.
Then
Jesus turned around and gave that victory to you. YOU are of God. Remember
that! You have overcome through Jesus because He lives in you. You never have
to live "under" the circumstances again!
