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 but 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 belongs 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

in Him. He’s an overcomer. So are you; in Him. He’s elect
and 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
