Called To Conquer

For the Word of God is living and powerful.

Hebrews 4:12

Sometimes our greatest challenge is to simply believe God’s Word over our existing conditions. No matter how our circumstances look, His promises are steadfast. A relentless believer is one who believes the impossible. Living relentlessly also means being unstoppable and uncompromising in faith.

God’s promises always call us to where we should be, not to the standard of our circumstances. So while you believe God for the impossible in your situation, also know that He has given you authority to reign in life!

All who receive God’s abundant grace and are freely put right with him will rule in life through Christ.(Romans 5:17)

Life on earth is not to surpass us; rather we are to govern it. We are to rule in life! As a believer, you are in Christ and are to rule over and against all opposition to life and godliness. If something in your life does not align with His Word, attack it head on! There is no reason for the enemy’s plans to succeed when we agree with the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Do you believe Jesus is seated far above every other rule, authority, and power? I’m sure you do! But do you believe these truths about yourself?

And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:6)

We are seated with Christ in a heavenly sphere above any other forces. If you are facing a circumstance or battle that seems to be ruling you, declare:

Declare this over your life today!

No circumstance has power or authority over me. Not even Satan himself can defeat me. I reign supreme because of my position and authority in Christ! I declare that every situation in my life will align with God’s Word and His plans for me.

Dive into Scripture and find the promises and truths that reveal God’s plan for your situation. Personalize them and begin declaring them daily. His Word does not return void! (See Isaiah 55:11.)

Believing the Impossible

Finishing is better than starting.
Ecclesiastes 7:8 NLT 

How we finish is far more important than how we begin. But in order to finish well, we must live well. Living well means we never give up. It means we are relentless.

To be relentless means having an attitude or posture that is resolute, persistent, and unyielding. The relentless believer is absolutely steadfast in faith, hope, and obedience to God, no matter what they face. When we choose to never give up, we can become history makers in the truest sense.

You may have just fought your way through a terrible battle and now feel you didn't do very well. But you pushed through! You didn’t give up! Fighting for victory even when you’d rather accept defeat is the mark of a relentless heart. 

Lift up your tired hands, then, and strengthen your trembling knees! Keep walking on straight paths… Guard against turning back from the grace of God. (Hebrews 12:12-13, 15, TEV)

God has specifically designed a life course for you, and every step forward is still progress, even if it comes with bumps and bruises. 

You might say, “But Derek, I haven't made it through this battle. I can’t even take a step because this situation is utterly hopeless.” Would you say there is no solution in sight? That’s good news, for though “with men it is impossible…with God all things are possible” (Mark 10:27 NKJV).

Relentless believers see the impossible become possible. Doing so requires that we look beyond our human ability and trust in God’s strength and grace. To overcome, we first believe. Jesus said:

“If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” (Mark9:23 NKJV)

God is for you. No one wants your success more than He does. Can you believe what He says, even if it’s different than what you see? Are you ready to start living as a relentless believer?
