Blood

"You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin..." Hebrews 12.4

The reading of this verse can also be done this way: you know what? In the war against the evil of this world, you haven't yet overcome because you haven't yet applied all your strength, all your faith, and all your blood... Sin is spirit. You can't overthrow it just in any way. You need to confront it with the armor of faith in order to overcome it!

Grace before God

" Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16

He who seeks and perseveres in the ways of the Spirit of God, receives the strength to fight and overcome in tribulation times.

Wise Spirit

"And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke." Acts 6:10 

Those who are filled with the Spirit of God speak in power and authority. There is no evil that can resist them when they're in the faith -- that's how those who are chosen by God overcome.

The Throne

"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

In this world, winning an Oscar (or even just sitting in the seat of a Hollywood theatre), is of great value and only for those who have done well at playing others.


However, for us, the followers of the Lord Jesus, there is an invitation to sit beside the King of Kings; a position that holds much honour and cannot be compared to anything this world has to offer. The only entry fee required is to be faithful, just and to abstain all from evil; this is what it is to be an overcomer.
