Overcome

"The father instantly cried out, 'I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!'" Mark 9:24

Let's be over-comers.

Over-comers of…

doubt
sin
addiction
lies
jealousy
gossip
bitterness
anger
selfishness
insecurity
laziness
adultery
murder
homosexuality
greed
pride


Let's cry out just as this father did, (my paraphrase) "Jesus I do believe, but help me overcome ______________." You fill in the blank.


To be an over-comer is to literally rise above whatever enslaves you. In order to rise above it, you have to believe Jesus can and will set you free from it, and when He does, you have to leave it at His feet returning to it no more.

Overcoming something takes time. Remember you didn't crumble or become addicted in a day, it was a slow fade.
