Romans 8:37
Romans 8:37
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
The word Conquer
Conquer with More Prayer
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
a. Many Christians lack victory because they neglect their prayer life. OF course we pray about the BIG things… but what about the small things? The day to day things.
Catch for us the foxes,
the little foxes
that ruin the vineyards,
our vineyards that are in bloom.
The small things can make the biggest difference
Warm ups at UA....
b. If we are to be more than conquerors we must pray about everything, both small and great, continuing to always in prayer. The scripture admonishes, “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
pray continually,
2. Conquer with More Promises
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
a. Some Christians falter when it comes to reading, remembering , and relying on God’s promises. They unsuccessfully depend on their own strength.
b. If we are to be more than conquerors, we must trust God and depend on his promises.
“Praise be to the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses.
3. Conquer with More Peace
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
a. some christians fail to be victorious because they lack God’s peace. They live with fear and doubts rather than with faith and confidence.
b. if we are to be more than conquerors, we must partake of God’s peace. Jesus said, “My peace I give unto you… Let not your heart be troubled.” John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
4.Conquer with More Praise
As for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.
a. Many Christians are remiss when it comes to praising the Lord. They wear long faces, possess negative attitudes, and lack victory.
b. If we are to be more than conquerors, we must praise the Lord more.
I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
