I said to the woman, &#8220;oh like Priscilla Shirer?&#8221; [ from the movie &#8220;Overcomer&#8221;] but she did not answer the question.  When I woke up from the dream, I knew that she was actually talking about me being a kingdom overcomer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a tough season of learning to trust in the Lord, God was encouraging me that I would be victorious over every obstacle that came my way.  As a result, my faith, hope, and capacity to receive and give love would only increase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/overcomer.png?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"overcomer\" class=\"wp-image-3966\" style=\"width:381px;height:572px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/overcomer.png?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/overcomer.png?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/overcomer.png?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/overcomer.png?resize=40%2C60&amp;ssl=1 40w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/overcomer.png?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_an_over-comer_by_keeping_your_eyes_on_Jesus\"><\/span>Be an over-comer by keeping your eyes on Jesus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To become a kingdom over-comer, it is important to fix your eyes on Jesus.   The cares of this world can be a <strong>distraction to your walk with God.<\/strong>  When you are able to l<strong>et go of this life <\/strong>(the cares of this world) then you will gain more of  Jesus in your life.  Similarly to Peter when he was called to walk towards Jesus during a storm, when he kept his eyes on Jesus, he did not sink into the ocean.  He defied gravity.  But once he put his eyes on the environmental elements (wind, rain, thunder), he immediately became fearful and started to sink into the water.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, \u201cTake heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.\u201d And Peter answered him, \u201cLord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.\u201d He said, \u201cCome.\u201d So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. <strong>But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, \u201cLord, save me.\u201d<\/strong> Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, \u201cO you of little faith, why did you doubt?\u201d<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew%2014%3A27-31&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Matthew 14:27-31<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>How often do we take our eyes off God to focus on the storms of life?  As a mother, you might have stormy issues such as your child being sick, financial hang ups, difficulty with a a child that talks back to you, and job loss.  Here is the solution, put your focus back on God.  But you might say,  as you are walking towards God on the water, But, I have all of these problems and you begin sinking in despair.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But God will say,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <em>&#8220;O you of little faith, why do you doubt me?&#8221; Can I not provide for you?  &#8220;Can I not heal your sick child? &#8220;Can I not restore your relationship with your child as your father? <\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes we do doubt God&#8217;s abilities, but to live victoriously we need to understand our doubts do not define us.  It is how you rise out of the water after sinking that defines you.   When God saves you, you respond with His word:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes Lord your word says you are my provider in  <strong>Philippians 4:19<\/strong> (KJV)&nbsp; <em>\u201cBut my God shall <\/em><strong><em>supply all your needs <\/em><\/strong><em>according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes Lord, your word says you are a healer of all things ( relationships and the physical body).

In His love covenant, God says the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>God has proven His love by sacrificing His son for the sins of the world <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God does not condemn you to hell ( He stands with you as your advocate)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God prays continually for you to overcome your troubles in this life<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nothing in your lifetime or beyond will ever separate you from God&#8217;s love<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Yet even in the midst of all these things ( pressures and troubles in life), we <strong>triumph over them all<\/strong>, for God has made us to be more than <strong>conquerors<\/strong>, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything.<\/p>\n<cite>Romans 8:37<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution to living a life of victory is to realize that God&#8217;s love is enough to cover your <a href=\"https:\/\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/index.php\/childhood-trauma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Childhood Trauma\">childhood trauma,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/index.php\/2023\/06\/07\/how-to-overcome-emotional-pain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"How To Overcome Emotional Pain\">emotional pain<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/index.php\/2022\/05\/04\/healing-the-mother-wound-when-you-are-a-parent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"How To Heal The Mother Wound In 8 Ways\">mother wounds.<\/a>  God promises that nothing in your past or future circumstances will stop Him from loving you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are a kingdom overcomer when you accept God&#8217;s love residing inside of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_expectant_for_God_to_do_more_than_what_you_can_think_or_imagine\"><\/span>Be expectant for God to do more than what you can think or imagine <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe God to do infinitely more than what you could ever dream or imagine.  Whatever you ask for, God can outdo your request.  Therefore, believe for more than what you think God can do for you.  Are you looking for God to manifest miracles in your life? Then use expectant language like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8221; I am excited to see what comes next&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;God you will show up today&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;By faith I believe for ___ &#8220;( fill in the blank)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_an_overcomer_with_Gods_greatness_living_inside_of_you\"><\/span>Be an overcomer with God&#8217;s greatness living inside of you <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>God is all powerful and He lives inside of you to magnify who He is in You!  He is great in power, grace, love, beauty, and majesty.  When the enemy sends a flood of troubles your ways, combat it with the knowledge that you serve a greater God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_an_overcomer_by_not_fearing_death\"><\/span>Be an overcomer by not fearing death <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You must not be afraid to die to yourself and this world.   The more that you are able to let go of this world to acknowledge God, the more that you will gain Christ in your life.  I remember when I started to realize that I was becoming more like Christ and less like myself once I put  God above my dreams, wishes, and will. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give your life to Jesus.  It belongs to Him because you are no longer your own person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Become_a_prayer_warrior\"><\/span>Become a prayer warrior<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your place as a prayer warrior.  God has equipped you with spiritual armor and weapons to pray through every difficult situation.  As you pray, give praises onto God and thank Him. Gratitude is a powerful biblical principle.  It is important to thank Him especially when you feel defeated, discouraged, or worried about a matter.  Gratitude will immediately change your heart posture about  a situation that seems to be hopeless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read related post:<a href=\"https:\/\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/index.php\/2023\/01\/31\/battle-ready-prayer-overcome-trauma-now\/\" title=\"Battle Ready Prayer- Overcome Trauma Now\">Battle Ready Prayer- Overcome Trauma Now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/simplestepsbyjen.com\/index.php\/2022\/12\/06\/how-to-encounter-gods-presence-now-devotional-part-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"How to Encounter God\u2019s Presence Now: Devotional (Part 3)\">Rest<\/a> is also a powerful weapon!
