“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV)
“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:5, NKJV)
“that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.” (Colossians 1:10–12, NKJV)
“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:14–19, NKJV)
God has given us His Holy Spirit. Through His Spirit:
- We are one with The LORD
- We are strong in The LORD
- We have the mind of Christ (infinite wisdom, knowledge and understanding)
- We have the love of God flooding our hearts
- We have the fruit of the spirit
- We have self control
- We are new creations
- We have a new and godly character (the divine nature of God)
- We have the power of God and endless resources and help to accomplish all that God commands and promises.
We overcome the world through our faith. We are made for victory. We are offspring of God and citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. Christ Jesus is KING.
