WE HAVE BEEN CALLED TO CONQUER

We Have Been Called to Conquer

If you have made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life you have been called to conquer.

 There are a lot of people that go to church and have not been saved, however that is not what this lesson is focusing on.

 Read Romans 10:13  For who so Ever shall call upon the name of the Lord Shall be saved.

 Being saved means you won’t have to spend eternity in hell. It is just that simple.

 Just being saved does not make you a conqueror. To be a conqueror you must…

First have the knowledge

Second you must have the wisdom to use the knowledge in an effective way…

Third your spiritual attitude must be dedicated to winning…

 Then you must know the power you have through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Above all you must know who your enemy is.

Being saved is just not enough to be a conqueror. A newborn Christian is saved but they don’t have the wisdom of God to be a conqueror.

To begin with you need to know what the full armor is. A new or unlearned Christian doesn’t have that knowledge.

As a matter of fact very few Christians have even been taught about the full armor of God.

So how do we become conquerors for Christ?

Romans 8: 37   Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

We become more than conquerors through Him who loves us. To conquer something you must first have victory over the something or be victorious over a situation.

To be a victor is to have final and complete supremacy in battle or war. If God has called you to be a conqueror then there must be a war going on.

1^st Corinthians 15:57  but thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

 You have to be victorious in and through our Lord Jesus Christ; you can’t be victorious in a spiritual war fighting with carnal weapons.

2^nd Corinthians 10: 3-4  for though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the Pulling down of strongholds.

Now what is a stronghold?

It is a place having strong defenses. Satan has strong defenses but thanks be to God he has covered that for us also.

1^st John 5: 4-5   ⁴ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

1^st John 4: 4   Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Meaning Gods spirit that is in you is greater than the spirits that roam the earth.

Romans 8: 28   And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

To be a conqueror we have to know who we are in Christ Jesus. Then we need to know WHAT we can do through Christ. And last, we have to know WHEN to conquer.

You can know who, where and what; but if you do not know when you are in a state of confusion.

We have to be objective like Jesus in his ministry, or like Daniel in Babylon, or even like Joseph in Egypt.

The things that are happening to us in our daily lives are likely to be our own fault

Hosea 4:6   My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Sometimes people suffer because some preacher doesn’t agree with what the word says rather agrees with what doctrine says.

They will argue and say I can’t help what the word says; our association doesn’t believe that way. Do they think they know more than the word of God?

If you are going to believe some of Gods word, and not all of Gods word, you might be saved but you will never be a conqueror

Rev 3:21   To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Here is the way in; I am not going to leave you hanging… Jesus has invited us to share the throne with him…

Eph 2: 6   And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Paul is saying: God has brought us back to live together with Christ Jesus and has given us a position in heaven with him…

God saved us and through faith as an act of kindness, we had nothing to do with it, being saved is a gift from God.

The word says, your welcome to the throne room, but first you have to meet a few personal conditions…

Once these conditions are met, binding and loosening essentially will cover any situation that can come against you.

If evil or hindering forces are at work in your life you can bind them in Jesus name. If resources or provisions of any kind are needed, or if people are in any form of bondage you can loose them in Jesus name

But you have to agree that touching anything that you ask, it shall be done.

John 14: 13-14   ¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴ If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

The Key here is belief… in our hearts we must know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God can and God will act on our behalf.

Stay in the word,
