THE LIFE OF believer is not about the absence of struggle; it is about success through struggle. We are told that because of what Christ has done, we are “more than conquerors.” It is a very simple truth that the only way to be classified as a conqueror is to embrace the challenge of conflict. In Revelation we are told that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. The word of your testimony is the spoken declaration of the triumph that Christ bought for you with His shed blood that you would never have known had it not been for the grace and mercy of God.
Conflict and struggle come in every shape, form, and fashion, and at times can suddenly shatter the life that you live. I want you to be encouraged by the word of the testimony locked in the pages of this book by Ricardo Sanchez, It’s Not Over. It is a powerful reminder that while things here on the earth can seem to change in an instant, nothing in heaven changes. God still sits on His throne, He is still all powerful, and He can still move heaven and earth to bring you through your conflict as more than a conqueror.
Is it going to be tough? Absolutely, but it’s not over!
Is it going change you? Without a doubt, but it’s not over!
Are you going to make it? With God all things are possible; if you have breath in your lungs and can see the sun in the sky, you have a reason to shout with the voice of triumph, “It’s not over” and keep marching to your victory!
Press on, child of God; the Master is not through with you yet! It’s not over!
