for the past 3 days, i've been receiving this verse from various people.. the verse i vividly remember as my first sharing in CTK charismatic prayer group during my pit (i was standing in front of everyone with the mic, proclaiming this verse which came from nowhere.. and that's also how i got to know uncle bonnie).. simple verse but it holds such power within.. now it's such a memorial promise to me..
when Jesus paid with His life for us, everything has been done and given to us as our victory over the devil. when we pray for our breakthrough,our revelations, how often did we look back into the Word of God, to the Beginning - our redemption at the Cross. what a GREAT Price has been paid so we can now be heirs in God's Kingdom! how can we overlook that... the Great Exchange has already been done!! We have overcomed the world!!! whatever situation we face, whatever we need to enjoy fullness of life, do we realise that all these have already been given to us? the issue now is are we 'bold' enough to claim our blessings to be ours?
honestly, i see no reason why devil wants to have our blessings, afterall he is already ruling in this world.. i believe what he is really after is our joy. without joy, we feel weak n unable to walk with God; without joy, we cannot testify God's great love for His people; without joy, our Living God is turned into a mere idealogy, another religious concept of doing good (in sociologist term - opium of the masses in society).. do we really see ourselve as heirs of God, given the same authority, power and faith as Jesus for our daily exercise? we are called to be overcomers, not just 'living to get by' Christians... we need to claim our joy n bring down the devil! he has no right to steal our joy!! even in our deepest pit in life, Jesus lives in us and He has overcomed the world!!
...this verse is such a blessing to me! i thank God for His gentle reminder!!
1 John 4:4 [AMP]
Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.
