He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Revelation 3:5.
For You light my lamp; the LORD my God illumines my darkness. For by You I can crush a troop; and by my God I can leap over a wall. Psalm 18:28-29.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
There are many today that have let themselves get so overwhelmed by their duties at their job, their home life, their family, their mistakes, various ailments, and other trials that pop up during the day that they are ready to be overcome rather than overcome. They just want to give up and go hide from it all. Like Elijah after he had just started the biggest and most spectacular revival in the history of Israel, got so overwhelmed by the threats of Jezebel to take his life that he ran off, hid, laid down, and asked to die. Or like Joshua, that man of faith, who after the most amazing victory in all time over Jericho with a shout and the trumpet blast, when they had a defeat in the tiny town of Ai the next day, gave into doubt and despair, speaking of giving up and turning back as he lay on the ground and threw dust on his head. But for both Elijah and Joshua I had the answer, GET UP and do something about it by listening to Me and using your faith. And I had the answer for both of them and told them how to overcome. And the good thing was they listened and went forward to overcome by faith.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 1 John 5:4.
For all of you who are ready to give in and give up, I have a Word: You are going to get on the other side of this by doing something about it by your faith. And faith speaks. Learn how to answer troubles, trials, challenges, fears, threatening circumstances by faith, that is, by the truth that overcomes. You can move a mountain by faith.
And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Mark 11:22-24.
But number one, do not let yourself ever be a whiner. A “whiner” is one given to excessive complaints, generally expressed in a peevish or self-pitying manner, and crying. It is carnal and immature behavior. Do not whine, shine!
Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as bright lights in the world, holding fast to the Word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain. Philippians 2:14-16.
I have made you a promise, which is “yes” to you in Christ Jesus and that is: “Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16.
I will be with you in trouble, I will rescue you and honor you, and I will show you Jesus (My salvation, Yeshuah). You may not feel like it, but you are an overcomer. I have made you more than a conqueror. Start acting like who you are by getting up and getting to the other side of whatever is throwing you into despair and uneasiness by doing something about it by your faith.
You can begin by telling yourself that you are not a coward, not a whiner, and not a doubter but an OVERCOMER. And then start celebrating who you are! You are strong in Me and the power of My might. My Spirit is in you and on you.
What does it mean to be an overcomer? And I think you should want to know because I tell you that only overcomers make it to My heavenly Kingdom.
Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:6-8.
Being an overcomer means you do not let facts and circumstances pile up and overcome you, but, instead, you take authority over them with a joyful shout of victory and speak the result you want and watch everything work together for good for you who love Me and want to walk in My Will for your life. You must turn the tide before it drags you aside. And the good news is you can as simply as changing from whining to shining. Rejoice in the victory over the facts you will have rather then lying down in the dust and bewailing.
Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, both he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads. Joshua said, “Alas, O Lord LORD, why did You ever bring this people over the Jordan, only to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? If only we had been willing to dwell beyond the Jordan! O LORD, what can I say since Israel has turned their back before their enemies? For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and they will surround us and cut off our name from the earth. And what will You do for Your great name?” So the LORD said to Joshua, “Rise up! Why is it that you have fallen on your face? Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them.” Joshua 7:6-11.
You cannot sin and be powerful at the same time. When there is sin in you, it is almost impossible to overcome because you are not walking with Me but with the one you need to overcome. Jesus let the devil have no part in Him and you can shut him out as well. You can be his master.
“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33.
To overcome you must not let things such as mistakes, sins, opposition, unwise decisions, and the like, take you down under and pressure you into giving up. You must stand up to that, dust yourself off (shake off the dust), break the chains of worry and fear, depression and grief, and sing the victory. Have faith in Me for the good result even if it was your mistake. Romans 8:28.
Awake, awake, clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion (the mountain of grace). Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem (the heavenly city), the holy city; for the uncircumcised and the unclean will no longer come into you. Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, O captive Jerusalem; loose yourself from the chains around your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. Isaiah 52:1-2.
I give you all the grace and heavenly garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness and My armor of light that you need to put on to rise up and overcome. Shake off that dust of death, Jesus tasted the dust of death for you so you never have to do so, and rise up to be where I have seated you with Him next to Me in My throne room. And you loose those chains, i.e., those thoughts you are harboring that are taking you down into the darkness, and stand up to be who I have made you to be in Christ! An overcomer!
Only overcomers are in Heaven, cowards and doubters do not make it.
He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:21.
Stand up and use your faith, I have given everyone a measure of faith, use it and move things around.
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you.” Luke 17:5-6.
And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” Matthew 17:20.
And faith comes only in one way, as it does in all matters, by what you hear, and what you hear with attention and allow to plant in your soul. And the more you hear something, the more you begin to believe it. So be careful what you are hearing and make sure, if you want faith to move things to a good result, that you are hearing and hearing My Word and nothing else is planting in your soul.
Overcome by faith in Him who died and rose for you that you might live in His authority and power, for He has entrusted that to you as His body on the earth.
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20.
You overcome by faith in My Word, for Jesus is My Word, but to have strength you must have joy in My Word before you see it manifest. Joy begins in your spirit, and a strong spirit in a man can overcome everything that would stand in the way of the perfect result in My promise. My joy is your strength, without it you cannot stand.
Joy, rejoicing in Me and My precious Word of power, is what will make you more than a conqueror. And what is the source of that great joy that bubbles up in your spirit and never runs dry? What do I tell you that I pour in your heart by the gift of My Holy Spirit? My love. Knowing My love in the full assurance that I love you beyond what you can fathom is joy unspeakable filled with glory. No life is joyful without receiving, living, and breathing in the atmosphere of perfect, unconditional love. And that is what you will always find in Me. If you don’t know that you have never truly been seeking Me, for when you seek Me with your heart, you find Me right there with you and I am love.
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer (are more than conquerors) through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39.
No matter what you are facing right now, or will face in the near future, for you will have trials in this life, NEVER give up, instead get ahold of yourself and look in the mirror and say, “He has made me an overcomer and this will not take me down, NO NEVER, for in Him I am in the light and light always overcomes the darkness. This will be resolved and have a good result according to His Name and His Word.” And then cast the care of it on Me and rejoice. And guess what? Suddenly you will know just what to do to get the result you are believing for. And it will all flow. The information will be right there from someone I have given something to that you need right at that moment in order to resolve it and they will just happen to cross your path and share it and as you follow that lead more and more doors open and the light floods in until the whole thing is resolved and as come to nothing like you at first feared. Like David in Ziklag!
There is nothing that you and I together cannot fix. Remember that next time you are ready to give up. No, stand up, encourage yourself in My Word, and rejoice with Me. For it is I who makes you an overcomer if you just declare the victory in agreement with Me. You do not do it, I do it, but you must cooperate. I am in you by My Spirit to will and to do but you must release it out with the joyful shout!
“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the chief cornerstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’” Zechariah 4:6-7.
He had to bring out the chief cornerstone and shout! So do you to build anything worthwhile.
I love you. Are you facing a challenging circumstance right now? Rejoice that you are in Me and that I have made you an overcomer and speak the good result you desire. I watch over My Word to perform it, if you will only agree with Me and not give up. With My help you can leap over a wall and take down an entire army. Psalm 18:28-29.
Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. But My righteous one shall live by faith; and if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul. Hebrews 10:35-39.
