CONQUEROR:
I WILL OVERCOME
“No in all these things we are more
than conquerors through Him who loved us.

IT WILL NOT COME EASY
“A thief comes to steal and kill and
destroy. But I come to give life – life
in all its fullness.”
John 10:10 (NCV)
“For you are the children of your
father the devil, and you love the evil things he
does. He was a murderer from the beginning
and has always hated the truth. There is
no truth in him. When he lies, it is
consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
John 8:44 (NLT)

Overcoming Obstacles
is a Partnership Experience
GOD’S PART:
Changing the Desires of Your Heart
“Don’t love the world or anything that belongs to the
world. If you love the world, you cannot
love the Father. Our foolish pride comes
from the world and so do our selfish desires and our desire to have everything
we see. None of this comes from the
Father. The world and the desires it
causes are disappearing. But if we obey
God we will live forever.”
1 John 2: 15-17 (CEV)
MY PART:
Changing the Environments I
Live In
“Jesus straightened up and asked her, ‘Woman, where are
they? Has no one condemned you?’ She answered ‘No one, sir.’ ‘Then neither do I condemn you.’ Jesus
declared. ‘Go now and leave your life of
sin.’ “
John 8: 10-11
Changing My
Habits and Behaviors
“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed - not
only in my presence, but now much more in my absence – continue to work out your
salvation with fear and trembling.”
Philippians 2:12
THE BODY’S PART:
Connection Leads to Accountability
“As each of us has one body with many members, and these
members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one
body, and each member belongs to all the others.”
Romans 12:4-5
