John 16:33 “In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.”
Some people think that becoming a Christian means that you will be delivered from adversity, but that’s not what it means. That lie has thrown too many of us off track. The truth of the matter is that being a Christian means we are delivered in adversity.
God doesn’t erase the tribulations, trials, and circumstances of the world. God gives you the power to stand in the midst of them. Psalm 91, “He who dwells in the secret place of the most high God, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, you are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in you I will trust.” When troubles come, we take refuge in the fortress of God, and we fight the good fight of faith because God has already given us victory over the world. Fear not people of God, for we have overcome the world by the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony!
“God does not give us the overcoming life, He gives us life as we overcome.” Oswald Chambers
