Confident Conquerors


“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 8:37-39







God’s love gives you personal confidence.

Listen to what author Bob Hazlett writes in his book Think Like Heaven:

“Many psychologists say that firstborn children are more assertive than their siblings because they get the most nurturing. In God’s Kingdom, every child is a “firstborn child”, with equal access to the Father’s nurturing love. All of us can be bold because all of us are in Christ from the foundation of the world. In Him, none of us went un-nurtured or unloved...God says, “Come. I will enable you to do and to be. In me you are fearless.””

We are a people confident in our God and in His love for us.

Whether you are a ‘first born’ or, like me, a ‘sixth-born’ in a family of nine children there is no famine or shortage of God’s love for you.

That love gives us a confidence and emboldens us in Him.

“With God we shall do valiantly;

    it is he who will tread down our foes.”

Psalm 108:13

We need not be intimidated by the enemy.

We need not be intimidated by our past or by our current circumstances.

We can be confident of His love for us.

We can confidently share that love with others.

We are called to be confident conquerors!
