More than Conquerors  

Everywhere we look today we see disharmony, discord, anxiety, fears, depression, and indiscipline. These, and many other troubles, are indicators that the Devil is alive and well on the Earth and is busy disturbing both society and individuals. 

Christians can become particular targets for him and they need to discover ways in which their lives might become victorious despite his goading. 

II hope that those who read this book might understand the reasons for their trials a little more and may see the way in which to become conquerors, thus bringing glory to the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

The following is an extract from the chapter titles "The Captain of our Salvation" ...

During several periods of personal struggle, the author had the privilege of receiving a picture from the Lord which helped her to put her struggles into context. This picture came more than once when the going became tough. It seems right to share it with you for the picture is true for every Christian in every age. The scene was as follows.

The author saw herself in a war. There were two lines of opposing armies drawn up on a field of battle. – it looked a bit medieval as some were on horseback and all in armour. The army facing us were all in black. In fact, it was impossible to pick out anyone or anything in particular as it was so dark on that side. The Christian side, on the other hand, were in the light, dressed in white and some on white horses. This would be thrilling enough, but in the centre rode our Captain. He was mighty and on a much bigger horse than ours. He was head and shoulders above the rest you might say. In His hand He held a banner. What a privilege to be in that assembly, even if, like the author, you saw yourself as a humble soldier.

My friend, if you have problems as you read this, then see yourself as in the army of the Living God. You, as a Christian, are called to the highest service in the land; to fight for the honour of God. Not your honour, not your Church’s honour, but GOD’S HONOUR is at stake when you come to trials and temptations. For this age-long battle is primarily one where Satan and his armies are out to rob God of His glory. Time and again we read in the Bible:

“The battle is not yours but God’s”                        2 Chronicles 20 verse 15

So what must we as Christians do to fulfil our part as soldiers of the Lord?
