They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings – and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.  Revelation 17.14

The great combat where the evil forces will face the Lord and all Christians already has winners: Jesus and those that trust Him. Actually, He never lost a battle to the enemy, for since He is Almighty, the devil has no conditions of looking in His eyes. To come out of an ordeal, trust in the Word given by God. 

There is not the slightest chance of the enemy obtaining a victory against the Lord of lords and King of kings, and if we are in Him, the evil cannot overcome us either. Enveloped by His force and acting in His Name, we put divine power into action. Thus, all that the devil tries to do against us will not succeed. In Christ, we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). 

The Lord Jesus is Almighty. He reigns over all things and everything that obeys Him. God´s will can´t be questioned, for all His acts are done in righteousness. Those that trust the Most High will see they have made the best choice. Even if all things have passed away in this world, His words will never pass away (Luke 21:33). He is holy and so are all His works. 

To be a winner, it´s not enough just to attend a good church, give your tithes, offerings and sponsor our works; it is necessary to be in the Lord and with Him. For those that are in Christ and His words are in him, there are no limits for Him to answer you. This is the secret for your petitions to be answered. Those that don’t qualify themselves will never have the power of the Most High working for them. 

When listening to the preaching of the Gospel, the person feels the Lord´s call. However, because they don’t abandon their wrong practices, many postpone their yes to this call, and many times, when they decide to accept it, it´s too late. There is nothing better than to answer the Holy Spirit´s voice, which convinces the sinner of the need for conversion (John 16:8). The person who accepts the Most High´s invitation learns about what is right and not. 

After having decided to obey the Master, the new convert goes through the waters, fulfilling the second condition to be saved. Then, he is elected and receives the diploma as a son and servant of God. From then on, the angels know they must honor him in what is revealed to him through the Word, and the demons know they can no longer touch him. 

What comes after the calling and election is very important. Those who are not faithful will never be victorious. However, those that are faithful will not be defeated in any battle. Nothing compares to the satisfaction that the doers of the Word of God experience in Christ. 

In Christ, with love,
