You are more than a conqueror!!!!

Hey fam!

I just had to put this on paper today and share. Last night I keep listening to Lexi's Super Victorious from her CD What Heavens Hear (what an awesome title...think about what Heavens hears us saying....I digress).

The Greek word Paul uses in Romans 8:37 translated as conqueror is u`pernika,w hupernikao {hoop-er-nik-ah'-o} meaning to be more than a conqueror, to gain a surpassing victory.
In edition two definitions from Webster resonated with me: to gain mastery over or win by overcoming obstacles or opposition and to overcome by mental or moral power.

WOW!!!!!! When I first learned Biblical Greek a few years ago, I was awestruck by this. It blew my mind to know that through Christ, I have the power to master that which would want to master me. Obstacles, oppositions, sins have no mastery over us because we are slaves to the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit - third PERSON of the Godhead). Don't bow down!!! We can use our weapons from Ephesians 6:10-18. Glory be to God!!!!!!!

In chapter 8 of Romans, Paul is talking about living a Spirit led life. So that power that lives inside the believer that makes them more than a conqueror through him that loved us is the Holy Spirit.

As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death aka this life on earth God has given us what we need to overcome obstacles, oppositions, and sins!

Remember you are MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!!!!! So won't you continue to walk with me in victory and CONQUER something today!!!!!!
