1st and 15th Scripture Memory

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33




I am memorizing this verse here in the 2nd half of April thanks to a Twitter friend who quoted it to me yesterday. I am in a season of trouble right now, the details of which I cannot share at this point. I will soon, but just can't right now. But I am drawing such strength today from this verse.

It ties into this song that was sung at our church on Sunday as several members shared their “Cardboard Testimonies.”

"Overcome"

(Desperation Band)

Seated above,
Enthroned in the Father’s love,
Destined to die,
Poured out for all mankind,

God’s only Son,
Perfect and spotless one.
He never sinned,
But suffered as if He did.

All authority,
Every victory
Is YOURS!

Savior, worthy of honor and glory
Worthy of all of our praise
You overcame.
Jesus, awesome in power forever
Awesome and great is your name
You overcame.

Power in hand,
Speaking the Father’s plan,
Sending us out,
Light in this broken land.

All authority,
Every victory
Is YOURS!

Savior, worthy of honor and glory
Worthy of all of our praise
You overcame.
Jesus, awesome in power forever
Awesome and great is your name
You overcame.

We will overcome
By the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony.
Everyone overcome.






I am claiming the victory today in my situation by the authority of Jesus Christ because He has overcome! It my story, my testimony and it will be... to HIS GLORY! The victory is HIS!

Thanks for explaining why you've picked this verse. I'm memorizing the same one and will be praying for you to feel that claimed victory as you write it on your heart. Keal-- I'll be praying with you, too!

I selected this verse because I became very disheartened at the state of the world after watching Slumdog Millionaire. I need to know and trust that the Lord has overcome!!
