BE VICTORIOUS!

I'd like to share with you the following thought about this verse:

1 John 4,4:

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

In reality, we are in the presence of two worlds: the esoteric and the exoteric, the inner and the outer, the visible and the invisible, the hidden and the apparent. I'll refine this by saying: your inner world and the outer world around you.

Colossians 1,27 speaks of "Christ in us, the hope of glory", and Romans 8:24b-25 states: but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

So, as long as "He who is in you" remains hidden from the eyes of your outer world, your life will be one of suffering from all the assaults of "He who is in the world".

You'll be like Christ's disciples in the boat, facing waves and increasingly threatening winds, with Christ asleep in the boat...

We know He is capable of anything, strong, powerful, formidable, surprising and conquering, except when He is asleep, withdrawn, as if absent from within!!!!

From within, that's the key!

Too often in the hour of battle, at the decisive moment, we look outside for help, when the Guarantor of your Victory over the world is supposed to reside within you, through the faith you are supposed to have received through His "rhema" Word.

The primary reason for going out to meet "God's envoys" is to receive the "Word of faith" from them.

Our victory over the world is "our faith". The one within us who is greater than the one in the world is "OUR FAITH". It is not greater than your faith.

In the hour of confrontation with the world, may Your Faith be that Horse of Victory which rushes out of the fortress to trample and tear to pieces all the assaults of the world that tries to nullify your "hope of glory"!!!!

For Your Faith is your demonstration of the glory you hope for!!!!

Zachariah 2,13:

Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!

Colossians 3,4:

When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

He who is in you "your faith = your life" (for the righteous lives by his faith), MUST APPEAR OUTSIDE. This is where the Confirmation of His Greatness over him who is in the world is going to be made, OUTSIDE.

Your faith is in this circumstance YOUR WHITE HORSE, YOUR CHARRIOT OF VICTORY!

Job 39,24-25:

He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded. At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’ He smells the battle from afar, The thunder of captains and shouting.

So be victorious over Him who is in the world!

Shalom to all
