The Promise
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him that overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paridise of God...He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. (Revelation 2:7,21:7)

The How
And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets-- who through FAITH conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. (Hebrews 11:32:35, capitalization of faith done by me)

Point
We are promised by God victory if we become overcomers of the world...life, circumstances, trials, doubt, fear, sin, etc. Why isn't victory something we're experience? Obedience and faith. We acheive victory by lovingly being obedient to what God is calling us to do. As we act in faith what He is calling us to do are spiritual confidence increases. May we become a people with an unmoveable faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
