more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory
through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].”
I love this phrase “more than conquerors.” But what does it
really mean?

Being more than a conqueror means that before you ever
have a problem, you are confident that you have whatever
it takes to overcome it through your relationship with Christ.
In other words, you know you have the victory before you
ever get the problem.

Now, in order to “qualify” for the power of God, we must first
come to the place where we recognize that in and of our-
selves, we are weak and we have limitations without God. If
we didn’t have any weakness, we wouldn’t realize we need
Him. And one of the best prayers we can ever pray is “God,
I need You, and I’m nothing without You!” (See John 15:5.)

It’s so important for us to understand this because if we wait
until we have a problem that’s too big for us to handle be-
fore we rely on God’s strength, then we’re setting ourselves
up to fail.

The best thing we can do to live this life in victory is to con-
tinually seek God with our whole heart, realizing we’re des-
perate for Him all the time. Spend time with Him in prayer
and studying His Word every day. Then, when the storms of
life happen, you will be confident that in Christ, you already
have everything you need to overcome them…and you’ll
experience the power of His resurrection as you rise above
them!
