you and the will of God; nothing in heaven, nothing on the
earth, and nothing under the earth. Nothing can hinder you
from doing the will of God. If that is not victory, I don’t know
what is, that God has already overcome everything between me
and the will of God.
Notice that He didn’t say, “Be of good cheer, you shall
overcome.” He said, “I have overcome.” Christians always
want to be overcomers. He is the overcomer. This is the most
glorious news that can ever reach the ear of a burdened
Christian. I’m in Christ and all that is in Him belong to me. I
just want to have that verse read again. John 16:33, “These
things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In
the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have
overcome the world.” In the world you’ll have tribulation. You
are in the world. You are also in Christ. In Christ, He has
overcome the world. Once again, God doesn’t give His Son and
something called “victory”.
Romans 6:8-11, “Now if we have died with Christ, we
believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ,
having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death
no longer is master over Him.” He is dead to sin and alive to
God. I want to be dead to sin and alive to God but He is not
going to allow me to be dead to sin and alive to God because
He will not give His glory to another. He is dead to sin and
alive to God and I’m in Him. He’s dead to sin and alive to God
and you are in Him. I can’t fly. The airplane flies. I’m in the
airplane; I fly. Everything that is in Christ is yours. Everything
that is in Christ belongs to me. He’s the Son of God. You are
sons of God. He’s righteous. You have been made the
righteousness of God in Him. He’s an overcomer. So are you;
in Him. He’s elect. So are you because you are in Christ Jesus.
Everything He has belongs to you.
I hope God has taught your heart that when He died you
died. When He rose from the dead, you rose from the dead.
When He ascended into heaven, you ascended into heaven.
When He sat down at the right hand of God, you were seated
with Him. You are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.
