No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:37 It would be wonderful enough to be told that through Christ you are a conqueror; but Romans 8:37 tell us that we are MORE that conquerors! Whatever comes against you today, isn’t it good to know that you can rest in this knowledge? CHRIST-CONFIDENCE , NOT SELF CONFIDENCE! The phrase "more than conquerors" in this verse comes from the Greek words NIKAO, meaning ‘to overcome’, or ‘to conquer’, and HUPER, meaning ‘beyond’, ‘over and above’, or ‘to prevail completely over’. In joining these two words huper and nikao together, Paul makes an incredible power-statement about you and I. Jesus triumphed over sin, death, sickness and hell; leaving not one enemy unsubdued or undefeated, and because of His absolute victory we, as His disciples “prevail completely”. The fight has already been won! Romans 8:37 is not about self-confidence; it’s about being ‘Christ -confident’, To put it another way: in Jesus Christ, together with Him, you are a paramount victor, a phenomenal overcomer and a conquering force to be reckoned with!! And because you are Christ-Confident, you can rest assured that even though these things may happen to you that are listed in Romans 8:35,38,39, things such as trouble, calamity, persecution, hunger, destitution, danger, or the threat of death absolutely nothing can separate you from the love of God. These verses go on to affirm this by reminding us that not even angels, demons, our fears for today or worries about tomorrow, can separate us from God’s love! Jill 💜 #morethanaconqueror

“Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy” Psalm 34:5 We were sitting in a coffee shop enjoying our usual Saturday morning pot of tea & watching the world go by. Just across from where we sat, two young guys stopped & each took something out of their pockets. From where we were sitting I could clearly see that they were lottery scratch-cards. They pressed the cards against a shop window & started enthusiastically scratching them. The first guy turned back around, & his face said it all; it was the picture of abject misery & disappointment. He truly looked as though he had pinned all his hopes & dreams on the right numbers being on that card. The second guy was probably disappointed too but perhaps his temperament was more laid back, or maybe he just played his cards closer to his chest, his face less readable that his friend’s. Although his friend was talking to him, slapping him on the shoulder, trying to laugh it all off, the first man just couldn’t seem to stop staring at his card. It was as if he thought if he kept staring at it, the numbers would change. The face of that young man has stayed with me. I’m so thankful that, as God’s child, I don’t have to live my life according the ‘luck of the draw’. In times of fear, hardship, or uncertainty I can turn to God’s Word with intent, expectation & focus, & I know, with absolute certainty I will always find what I need. The Bible is not ‘just a book’, it is the living Word of God. Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” God’s Word is constant, unchanging & life-giving. We will never, ever come away from an encounter with God with a countenance like that of that young man I saw. As Psalm 34:5 tells us, “those who look to him will be radiant with joy”. Jill 💜

Warning ⚠️ Information Leakage! Our hearts would not make a good special agents. Although we might think we have those secret things of our hearts carefully locked, hidden, the key buried so deeply that even we can’t remember where it is, our hearts will always inevitably ‘betray’ us. You see, unlike a safe, or a strongbox, or a diplomatic bag, your heart leaks information!! Whether good or bad, the stuff stored in our hearts effects and influences our lives and the lives of those around us. It’s never too late to partner with the Holy Spirit and have a clear-out....... This is a short excerpt from today’s post over at Mustard Seed Blog. You can read the full post by following the link in my Instagram bio. Jill 💜

“Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come. I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭9:12-13‬ ‭ I love rainbows- they’re a beautiful reminder that our God is a covenant keeping God! We had a “double portion” over our house this morning 🥰 Today, remember that we need rain in order to experience the beauty of the rainbow. Simplistic? Maybe - but true! I love how God, in His infinite love & mercy, made this simple but powerful object lesson, for generation after generation until the end of time. But that’s our God isn’t it, Good, Faithful, Merciful, Gracious and Kind Jill 💜 #rainbows #therainbowbelongstogod #godisfaithful
