You will find a joy in overcoming obstacles.
– Helen Keller
Overcoming | Joy
God has defeated Satan through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through this overwhelming victory, God has also empowered you to overcome any temptation to sin and has provided sufficient resources for you to respond biblically to any problem of life. By relying on God’s power and being obedient to His Word, you can be an overcomer in any situation.
– John C. Broger
Temptation | Overcoming
A nail is driven out by another nail. Habit is overcome by habit.
– Desiderius Erasmus
Habits | Overcoming
Nine-tenths of the difficulties are overcome when our hearts are ready to do the Lord’s will, whatever it may be. When one is truly in this state, it is usually but a little way to the knowledge of what His will is.
– George Mueller
Obedience | The Heart | Overcoming
A person who wholly follows the Lord is one who believes that the promises of God are trustworthy, that He is with His people, and that they are well able to overcome.
– Watchman Nee
Faith | Overcoming
Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.
– Thomas a Kempis
Humility | Perseverance | Overcoming
Overcoming sin, blessed though it surely is, is but the bare minimum of a believers experience. There is nothing astonishing in it. Not to overcome sin is what ought to astonish us.
– Watchman Nee
Sin | Overcoming
The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
– Helen Keller
Adversity | Overcoming
Irrespective of how we physiologically are made, even possessing special weaknesses, we can overcome our sins through the Lord.
– Watchman Nee
Weakness | Overcoming
Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that roared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.
– John Bunyan
Temptation | Overcoming
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
– Helen Keller
Suffering | Overcoming
We must learn to live on the heavenly side and look at things from above. To contemplate all things as God sees them, as Christ beholds them, overcomes sin, defies Satan, dissolves perplexities, lifts us above trials, separates us from the world and conquers fear of death.
– A. B. Simpson
Heaven | Trials | Overcoming
Habit is overcome by habit.
– Thomas a Kempis
Habits | Overcoming
It is more to the honor of a Christian by faith to overcome the world, than by monastical vows to retreat from it; more for the honor of Christ to serve him in the city, than to serve him in the cell.
– Matthew Henry
Faith | Overcoming
To be innocent is to be not guilty; but to be virtuous is to overcome our evil inclinations.
– William Penn
Virtue | Overcoming
Negligence in prayer withers the inner man. Nothing can be a substitute for it, not even Christian work. Many are so preoccupied with work that they allow little time for prayer. Hence they cannot cast out demons. Prayer enables us first inwardly to overcome the enemy and then outwardly to deal with him.
– Watchman Nee
Satan | Prayer | Overcoming
He that overcometh shall inherit all things. God has no poor children.
– Dwight L. Moody
Overcoming
Bid faith look through the key-hole of the promise, and tell thee what it sees there laid up for him that overcomes; bid it listen and tell thee whether it cannot hear the shout of those crowned saints, as of those that are dividing the spoil, and receiving the reward of all their services and sufferings here on earth.
– William Gurnall
Holiness | Overcoming
But the way to overcome is by patience, forgiving and praying for your enemies, in doing whereof you heap coals upon their heads, and your Lord shall open a door to you in your trouble: wait upon Him, as the night watch waiteth for the morning. He will not tarry. Go up to your watch-tower, and come not down, but by prayer, and faith, and hope, wait on.
– Samuel Rutherford
Overcoming | Prayer | Forgiveness
When you have overcome one temptation, you must be ready to enter the lists with another. As distrust, in some sense, is the mother of safety, so security is the gate of danger.
– Thomas Brooks
Temptation | Overcoming
Knowing the truth concerning the deep workings of the evil spirit helps the individual not only to overcome sins but to eliminate unnecessary afflictions as well.
– Watchman Nee
