Experience God’s Power in Everyday Life
After I became a Christian, there were many years when I had no victory in my everyday life. I was miserable because I still had wounds in my soul from the past that made me insecure, angry, suspicious of others and hard to get along with.
Even though I loved God and went to church every week, I had no idea that there was power available to me to overcome the hurts from the past and the struggles of daily life. And everything that came along and was hard to handle defeated me.

I was so grateful when I found out in God’s Word that not only is He powerful, but He also wants to fill us with His power. He promises in His Word that we can have abundant life in Christ because He has overcome the world (John 10:10, 16:33).
The truth is, as believers in Christ, we don’t have to live weak, wimpy, pitiful, pathetic, barely-getting-by lives. We can have God’s power working in us to enable us to do whatever we need to do!
Some people have the misconception that when they give their lives to Jesus, they will no longer have any problems. It would be nice if this were true, but in this world, we will have trials and tribulations. The good news is we can cheer up anyway because Jesus has overcome the world.
In John 16:33b (ESV), Jesus says, “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
