Greater is He who is in us:

1 John 4:4

4     You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

     

            Have overcome them … not - maybe will overcome them. This is actually the Greek perfect tense. It means that it happened in the past, and has effects in the present of the one saying or writing the word. When Jesus died on the cross, that is when we overcame. His action two thousand years ago, affects my life today. Because He who is living inside is greater than all, then we can always overcome whatever comes against us. We overcome, because He overcame. Surely it was perfect!

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You have heard Me that you are over-comers. My Son, who won the victory at the cross, is inside you. He cannot fail. He will always be victorious. He it is who is inside you and will be victorious in you if you will only believe. He will take you over the top because He knows how to be victorious. You shall reign in life when you allow Him to have His way. He always reigns victoriously and will bring about victory in your life as you let Him.”

            64. Because He is in me, I have overcome all those against me. That’s because He who is in me is greater than anyone who is in the world. I am an overcomer!
