More Than Conquerors

By Carlyn Houston |  

Do you have times when your life seems out of control? 

Do you experience feelings of worry, doubt, fear, insecurity, hopelessness or frustration? 

Are you tired of living as a powerless Christian? 

God loves you and He created you for His glory. We can experience victory in every season of our lives when we place our faith and trust in the one true God. By faith, we can walk in God’s purpose and plan for our lives. 

Ultimately, the way we see God will determine the shape of our faith. How big is your God? 

Recently, I was typing my sermon handout and I took the cursor and proceeded to shrink the large picture of the face of Jesus because I was afraid that it would not fit on the page with my text. The Holy Spirit prompted me to leave the face of Jesus large even if I had to shrink my text. I then took the cursor and began to expand the face of our Lord and with the help of a girlfriend, made a huge beautiful background picture of Jesus and placed my text over it. Many times we shrink God in our lives by trying to make Him fit like we want Him to fit in our situation, which leads us to defeat. We sometimes even press the delete key and take Him totally out of the picture, and then we realize that there is no victory until we press the insert key, bring Him back into the picture and expand the power of God in our lives! 

We will walk in defeat when we press the delete Jesus key and leave the cursor of fear (false evidence appearing real) and place human limitations on God. He is a mighty big God…“He’s got the whole world in His hands.” We need to shrink ourselves and our agendas and expand God in our lives to the big, faithful, powerful, I am GOD that He is. John the Baptist said, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” 

It takes God-sized faith to walk in victory. We will walk in victory when we press the insert Jesus key and leave the cursor of faith; the essence of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen,” expand God in our lives and walk in the assurance and expectation of God’s eternal hope.

How big is your God? Are you shrinking God in your life by giving in to fear and frustrations or are you expanding God in your life by walking by faith and trusting God? 

God wants to elevate you to a new level of victory and power as you run the race of faith. Determine today that you will shrink yourself, expand God in your life and give Him full access to work in your life. By faith, “in all these things we are more than conquerors.”
