You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
1 John 4:4
Devotional Message
Our divine origin and identity as God’s children is rooted in the incredible reality that God Himself lives within us through His Spirit. This truth changes our perspective on spiritual battles and life challenges, for God’s power will always be greater than Satan’s power or any other negative force in our lives. Each time we face opposition, a moment of struggle, or a season of darkness, the Holy Spirit within us will always overcome, conquer, and break through, allowing us to be in a victorious position at all times.
When we live from this place of victory rather than fighting for victory, our identity as being ‘from God’ gives us authority and confidence to defeat any spiritual opposition. Not from our own abilities or strengths, but based on the God who is living within us. That is how powerful our spirits are—where His unlimited power not only prevails negative forces but also transcends our own human limitations.
We each face daily struggles and spiritual warfare—from toxic relationships to health challenges, to identity crises, to dreams falling apart, to doubting our intuition. Each time we feel ourselves being pulled into the darkness, we question whether we have the power to rise above those limitations. Yet, when we embody this truth—that God’s inherent power within us can overcome anything that is standing in our way—we find ourselves living from a sense of deep empowerment, knowing that even when we can’t feel or see it, we will always be in the victorious position because the One who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world.
Let’s Pray
Dear God, help me remember today that your Holy Spirit lives within me, and that I can always be in a victorious position when facing daily challenges. Help me negate all negative forces, and feel confidence in the greatest power within me to overcome anything that is holding me back or keeping me in a state of darkness. I am honored to be From you and to have your divine nature, so let me tap into that energy today so that I can have the strength to prevail difficult situations. Help me maintain my bold faith to stand against any force that opposes your purpose, will and timing. Amen.
