More Than Conquerors

More Than Conquerors

Send us a text What if “more than conquerors” wasn’t a slogan but a new way to see yourself and your future? We walk through Romans 8 with open Bibles and open hearts, tracing the bold arc from calling to confidence: foreknown, predestined, justified, and glorified.

What if “more than conquerors” wasn’t a slogan but a new way to see yourself and your future? We walk through Romans 8 with open Bibles and open hearts, tracing the bold arc from calling to confidence: foreknown, predestined, justified, and glorified. That’s not theory; it’s the ground beneath your feet when life pushes hard. If God is for us, who can be against us becomes a daily posture, not a poster on the wall.

We dig into why embodiment matters for authority on earth, why Jesus kept his resurrected body, and why the enemy fights for vessels to twist good design. Then we clear the fog around salvation and growth: being born again means your spirit is made new by the incorruptible Word. Righteousness is a gift from Christ, not a wage earned by perfect behavior. When we confuse fruit with roots, we either perform for approval or collapse under shame. Scripture steadies us. God is love—he does not send sickness or sin to teach lessons. Returning to the Word refines our vision and renews our minds.

From there, we get practical. Peter’s call to crave pure spiritual milk invites a new appetite and a new ethic: strip malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander; bless those who cut you off; forgive quickly; speak life. Trade grasshopper vision for promise vision and put on the full armor of God. Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus. Whether you’re saying yes to Jesus for the first time or shifting your daily focus, you’ll find clear steps, honest encouragement, and a reminder that nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ.

If this message strengthens you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a quick review so others can find it too. Your words help spread hope.

00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:20.960
Hello friends and welcome to the Chaplains Corner dot net Today's series or we're gonna continue on with Change Your Focus.

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:22.719
This will be part three.

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.239
We're gonna talk about being more than conquerors.

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.760
Not just a conqueror, but more than conquerors.

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.399
It'll be season 2025.

00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.520
It'll be episode number forty five.

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.840
Boy, it's hard to believe that we are getting through September and October so fast.

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.799
I remember when I was a child, Christmas took forever to get here.

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:53.759
Now that I'm an old man, Christmas is here but while I'm still trying to celebrate last year.

00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:55.359
I digress.

00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:04.239
I'm gonna start in Romans chapter eight and in verse twenty eight.

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:15.040
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:28.879
For those God foreknew, he also predestined, and to be conformed in the likeness of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.040
Well if he's the firstborn, my number's in there somewhere.

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.000
If you put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, your number's in there somewhere.

00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.560
And those he predestined he also called.

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.760
Those he called he also justified.

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.280
Those he justified he also glorified.

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.719
What then shall we say in response to this?

00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.640
If God is for us, who can be against us?

00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:11.360
He who did not spare his own son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:17.039
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.520
It is God who justifies.

00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:21.840
Who is he that condemns?

00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:32.479
Christ Jesus who died more than that, who was raised to life, is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.479
So we won't be condemned.

00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:36.080
We're not condemned.

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.199
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:46.240
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.520
As it is written, for your sake we face death all day long.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.960
We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:05.120
No, in all these things we are more than conquers, not just a conqueror, not that's my two cents, not just a conqueror, more than a conqueror.

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:32.319
Through him who loved us, for I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor death, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:39.439
Once you give your heart to Jesus Christ, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit.

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.080
Your names are written on his palms.

00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.080
You become part of the family, you become part of the body.

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.919
Did you ever wonder about the situation with the body and everything?

00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.120
See, in order to have any authority on this earth, you have to have you have to be in a body.

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:07.840
That's why the devil and the demons and all the ghosts and goblins have got run around trying to uh find them a body to get into.

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:17.839
The demons of the madmen and gazardines said, run us into the pig, into the herd of pigs.

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:19.519
They had to have a body.

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:27.199
They didn't want to go into an empty, dry place where there was condemned uh weeping and gnashing of teeth.

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.680
They wanted a body to reside in.

00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:35.120
That's why Satan came to Eve in the Garden of Eden in the form of a serpent.

00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.160
He had to have a body to operate on this earth.

00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:43.920
And if you don't have a body, you can't get very much done on this earth.

00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.079
You need a birth certificate.

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.680
And that birth certificate is that being born into this earth.

00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:56.399
Jesus said, Nicodemus, whatever is spirit is spirit, and whatever is flesh is flesh.

00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.040
Nicodemus says, Can a man be born again?

00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.680
Can he enter his mom's womb to a second time?

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.279
Jesus said, No.

00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.040
What's spirit is spirit, and what's flesh is flesh.

00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.399
You were born naturally, that's the flesh.

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.720
You were born in the spirit, that's God the Father, sending his son in your stead.

00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:28.959
So Jesus came, walked, and fulfilled the Mosaic law, I guess I could say Abrahamic covenant.

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:30.639
He fulfilled the law.

00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.839
He was walked perfect and upright before God.

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.120
Therefore, God was able to anoint him.

00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.759
And once he received the anointing, then he could start doing miracles.

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.920
But he had to have a body.

00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.160
Well, Chaplain Terry, I'm gonna back up a little here.

00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:55.680
Well, Chaplain Terry, you are referring to the preachers and elders and deacons and special saints in in the world.

00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.600
Well, friend, one of those important positions describes you.

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:06.160
God didn't call you because anything you have done, anything you did, or anything you're going to do.

00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:12.160
He called you with love, and you responded by answering his call.

00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.639
You actually did not find God.

00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:21.839
God knew where you were all the time, and it was his love for you that you came to him.

00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.360
God knew it all the time that you would respond.

00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:35.120
When you gave your heart to Jesus, God's Son, you were born again, not a corrupted seed, but of God's seed.

00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.600
Which was God what was God's seed?

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:44.720
It was Jesus Christ, the man, the anointed, the Christ, the Messiah.

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.199
Came out of God.

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:48.399
He was God's seed.

00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:48.959
He was the word.

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.120
He's the word made flesh.

00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.879
And when he went back to heaven, he kept his body, if you'll notice that.

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:09.439
Was it not the incorruptible word, Jesus, that came into your heart, made it anew, and created you to be made the righteousness of God?

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.000
2 Corinthians 5.21.

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:16.160
Well, our righteousness is a filth, is a filthy rag.

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.519
There is none righteous.

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:18.639
No, not one.

00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:20.399
Yes, that's true.

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.639
It didn't say our righteousness.

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.160
It said our righteousness was of God.

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.240
We were born of God.

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.959
What got born when we got born of God?

00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.800
Sort of bad English, but what what who got born?

00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:45.279
It was our spirit man, was recreated, created anew in Christ Jesus, in the Messiah, in the man from God.

00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.480
Jesus said he was the Son of Man, but he also said he was the Son of God.

00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:52.720
You have both.

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.439
When we become Christians, we become sons and daughters of God.

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.240
God in the spirit.

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.240
And one must worship God in spirit and in truth.

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.079
John 4 24.

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:12.560
Being born of God will affect your physical conduct, and we are as children of God.

00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:20.160
A lot of the time, look at the other's physical behavior as a measuring rod of someone's spirituality.

00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:28.959
One gets into all kinds of troubles or difficulties if we try and determine who is saved or not saved by his behavior.

00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:37.039
One necessary item that is so often overlooked is due to the fact that we don't know our Bible, God's Word.

00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.919
Jesus is the Word made flesh, personified.

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:59.600
Because of not knowing God's Word or Jesus, we attribute a lot of things that God does not, God does that is not of his nature or desire or would ever do.

00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:08.159
Putting sickness or disease on someone, abortion, white lies, and cheating, or just to mention a few.

00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.399
Plain and simple, God is love.

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.879
Read 1 Corinthians 13.

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:26.639
I understand that a lot of what I'm writing is difficult to understand, but you ask it but ask yourself, if God is love, why would he give someone a disease or sickness?

00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.279
The short answer is he won't.

00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:38.000
So this week, contemplate on God's goodness, his love, compassion, and learn to memorize 1 Peter 2.1.

00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.480
Let's take a minute and go there.

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:52.320
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.

00:09:52.720 --> 00:10:03.120
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:12.080
So this week contemplate on God's goodness, his love, compassion, and learn to memorize that, 1 Peter 2.1.

00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:20.639
If you haven't given your life to Jesus Christ, then by default you are living in agreement with the devil, who is an enemy of God.

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:26.559
And he, you know, God and the devil are not close or anything like that.

00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.000
The devil is a fallen angel.

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.039
He doesn't even come in the same ballpark.

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.080
That's why he's going around looking for a body all the time.

00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:41.840
He's trying to destroy God's creation, and he's got to have a body on this earth to do it.

00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:49.360
Ask Jesus to come into your heart and make you a new man or woman in the eyes of God.

00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:54.159
Just say with me, Lord Jesus, I confess with my mouth.

00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:55.919
Jesus is Lord.

00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:04.320
And I believe in my heart that God raises Jesus from the dead, or that raised Jesus from the dead, and I will be saved.

00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:12.080
For it is with my heart that I believe and I'm justified, and it is with my mouth that I confess and say are saved.

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.399
Romans 10, 9 and 10.

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:43.840
If you're ever going to mount anything, if you're ever going to get up in anything, especially in the kingdom in the kingdom of God, you're going to have to change your focus and quit looking to yourself as broke, poor, sick, wore out, and of no value to God, and just sitting around waiting for him to come back eating Hershey bars and watching football on TV, and maybe having a beer or two and a cigar.

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.080
That's not the kind of life that God has for you.

00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:50.080
You're his child.

00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.559
You are a child of God.

00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.159
You need to be doing godly things.

00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.960
Number one, love your neighbor as yourself.

00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.840
Love, love, love.

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:10.720
When people pull out in front of you in the highway, say a prayer for them and bless them that they get where they're going safely.

00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.360
When somebody treats you wrong, forgive them.

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:14.639
Forgive them.

00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:15.759
Forget about it.

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:16.559
Go on.

00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:17.919
Well, what if they do this?

00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.039
You don't know what they did.

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:20.240
Yes, yes, yes.

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:21.600
I understand all that.

00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.279
Been down that road.

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.360
Carry it around, as they say.

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.000
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.799
Grow up above it and get on top of it.

00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:38.879
To where you're not being reacted by everything the devil does to you and throwing a fit and a hissy fit and missing the thing to God.

00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.919
Because that's what happens when you start listening to the world and the devil.

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.879
Jesus is Lord.

00:12:47.279 --> 00:13:02.320
If you're not seeing that in your lifestyle, you need to change it, change your focus, get into that word and read it till it starts talking to you, and let Jesus mold you and make you into a child of God.

00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:04.639
He's coming back soon.

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.360
Are you going to be scrambling to get things ready before he shows up?

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.440
Are you going to be sitting there waiting when the trumpet blows?

00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.440
I, for one, want to rest and wait.

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.759
The grasshoppers kept the Israelites out of the promised land.

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.879
It says them people over there are giants.

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:26.559
We're like grasshoppers.

00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.200
It wasn't the giants that kept them out.

00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.320
It was their grasshopper vision.

00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.679
Get rid of your grasshopper vision today.

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.240
Put on the full armor of God.

Be like Jesus.
