WE WIN

By Rick Mathes

Romans 8:37 (NASB77) ³⁷  But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

C.H. Spurgeon: “If God should please, the Holy Spirit could as this moment make every one of you fall on your knees, confess your sins and turn to God. He is an Almighty Spirit, able to do wonders.”

When Jesus lifted up to glory, the Holy Spirit descended and a Holy war began. Believe me, Satan is throwing everything he has at us to destroy the joy of our salvation. Our protection is to put on the armor of God, dig in our cleats and let the Holy Spirit have a go at him with Michael and Gabriel in full battle gear. How good can it be to know we win!

Our Lord gave us His life in the Holy Spirit. Our bodies are the Temple of God and Satan’s demons cannot penetrate without our permission. We are more than conquerors in Him. He isn’t a power, He’s a person as real as the Father and the Son: He completes the three cord Gordian Knot that cannot be broken.

It was he Holy Spirit that came upon Jesus and gave Him life once again in that tomb. And it was He that exploded in your soul and gave you your original life in His image and likeness. WE look just like our Daddy!

This renewed life became itself a shield that fends off the fiery darts of temptation the demons are unloading on upon wave, upon wave, upon wave: never ending, no relief. Satan’s assault on us is a violence that put the barbarous Arabs to shame.

It’s only by His guidance that we are led to quiet waters because we don’t know the way. Our every effort, like a magnet, has turned our eyes and flesh to all the attractions of hell. But as full heirs of glory, He adopts us ad gives us the hope of an eternal resurrection.

Of all the privileges heave could bestow on us, prayer is the ultimate. Think about it! The Holy Spirit comes upon us and we lift our hands in prayer and worship that makes the ages marvel. We, mankind only, understand the joy of our salvation an the awesome ability to walk right into God’s throne room and chat with Him, the Sovereign of the Universe.
