You’re A Winner!

“Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.” The greater One lives in those of us who are in Christ, born again. The Lord is the greater One, and the force behind evil (Satan) is the one referred to as in the world. The bible says resist the devil and he will flee. But before that verse in the bible it says, we must first submit ourselves to God. The power in us, is of God, which only gets released by our strong faith in the Lord. To try resisting the devil and you’re not submitted to God, Satan knows and he’d just hug you a little tighter because you without God can’t win over evil. Since you belong to God, His power is at your disposal. He can only trust His more mature children with more power. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. To submit to God, is to submit to His teachings and precepts, allowing the hell we deal with to have its full course in developing us. No pain, no gain is a thing here. Sometimes God needs to burn in us a crisis, storm, or deficit of health, to create deep roots of trusting Him, and it could take days, weeks, months, or years depending on the magnitude of your calling or purpose in life. Some of us will do world changing things for the Lord, but your foundation must have deep roots so you can handle it. Fighting evil apart from God, is suicide, but with Him, sooner or later you will win.
