These words are repeated seven times in Revelation chapters 2-3.

To be useful in the kingdom of God in the great battle against Satan's kingdom in the endtimes, we must first gain victory in our personal lives!

Life in this fallen world is a warfare and we must learn to fight and win the different kinds of battles in all the areas and varying circumstances that we face during our life-time and conquer the three great enemies: the flesh, the world and the devil.

This involves dealing with:

- our background, generational curses and demonic influences of childhood and youth;

- the powers and influences of our cultural and spiritual environment;

- our personal make up, surrendering our will to Jesus Christ, conquering flaws in our temperament and emotions, the battle for a pure mind and putting our body under the rule of the Spirit;

- winning the moral battle to develop a pure and holy character.

Some of us have to face a heavy battle in the area of health.

All must win the battle in the area of finances, learning to trust God for our livelihood in different ways, and learn to develop good and healthy relationships etc etc.

We all have a “Goliath”, a giant, whom we must conquer in order to acquire spiritual authority. It could be a deeply rooted habit, a physical, temperamental or character weakness and/or handicap or continuously pressing circumstances, insoluble family problems etc – and no matter how you try you are “tail” and not “head,” “underneath” and not “above,” instead of the opposite (Deut.28:13).

God will not remove this problem – you have to conquer it – through His power.

The purpose is to bring you to maturity through breaking all pride and self-trust and make you wholly dependent on the grace of God.

It is a tremendous daily, moment by moment battle to go through this life-long process of change and renewal in order to put every area of life under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the leadership of the Holy Spirit, so that every influence of the devil is totally rooted out and Christ will truly be manifested and glorified in our daily life.

The all-conquering Spirit of Jesus is in you and therefore you both must and can conquer!
