The Overcomer

I AM AN OVERCOMER THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, AND I REST IN THE REALIZATION OF HIS GRACE AND POWER.

Jesus said, “In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” He didn’t say He had avoided the world.

Jesus overcame the world by squarely facing each challenge and lifting His eyes to heaven; that is, He lifted His vision above the appearance to the way it is in heaven, or in the ideal. His tremendous faith allowed Him to perceive the ideal even when others saw only His trials and tribulations. He had faith in God, faith in His prayers, and faith in the power of His spoken word.

We too can overcome the world by following Jesus’ example. With faith, we rise above the trap of negative appearances. Through faith in God, we conquer doubt and fear. With faith in our spoken word, we have the power to change the world.

For you to overcome the world, you must change the way you see it. Activate your power of faith and let the eyes of faith transform you into an overcomer.

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)
