"A Promise to Those Who are Overcoming"
by Rick Renner
[a portion below]

"...Today I want us to look at what it means to “overcome.” The word “overcometh” comes from the Greek word nikao. It refers to a victor, a champion, or one who possesses some type of superiority, and it can be translated to conquer, to defeat, to master, to overcome, to overwhelm, to surpass, or to be victorious. This word was often used in Greek literature to portray athletes who had mastered their sport and ultimately reigned supreme as champions in the games. It could also describe a military victory of one foe against the other. The word nikao denotes a complete victory over the opposition that Christians were facing on all fronts. By using this word, Jesus was calling upon those early believers to rise up like a mighty spiritual army to defeat the enemies that threatened them on every side."... Rick Renner

So 
Warriors, Rise Up
now is the time
that God is calling us 
to be in tune with Him
to know our Father's Heart & Will
to rise up above the enemy

"The Eternal is a warrior; the Eternal is His name." Exodus 15:3 (The Voice)

to Rise up, we must Rest in Him

W.A.R.R.I.O.R – (acronym) Wear Armor of God, Resist the devil, be Righteous, and In all Occasions pray and Read the Word of God.~from a WordPress "Jesus is the Answer" site

We, too, are Overcomers in Christ Jesus!(1 John 5:4-5; Romans 8:37; John 16:33)
