There are 3 stages in the life of an Overcomer
There are 3 stages in the life of an Overcomer, the third stage causing them to enter into the walk of a mature Overcomer. All three stages can be related to in anyone’s experience if they desire the Lord alone in their lives and if they have learned to not lean upon the arm of flesh or anything of man’s systems.
****************************
The first stage is that of COMING to the Lord for salvation. This stage may have come about by certain pressures brought to bear upon the individual so that they learn both the calling and the need to surrender to God’s hand upon their lives. For the Overcomer, the life they have lived can often be related right back to their childhood where one or more experiences of their lives can be related to God’s drawing power. There are certain points in the childhood of the Overcomer that they can recall which shows them that God has had His hand upon them from the beginning of their lives. These memories are precious yet fraught with danger as the life so separated unto God is often attacked by the powers of darkness that abides upon mankind.
The drawing of the Overcomer to come to Christ for salvation is unique. It is not according to the systems of christendom or by what men call “salvation”. In the systems, man is brought to the Lord at some altar call or crusade only to be mortared into a brick structure of man’s system and distorted revelation. Although the Overcomer may have come through a denominational church for a time, they would not last long there, but would eventually come apart unto God to seek His Face alone. The person who is thus drawn this way will learn very quickly that they cannot lean upon parentage, or pastorships or any other such thing that comes from the help of man. They learn very early that God is their true source, that God is all they need and that in coming to God they have all the tools and promises of His spirit in them to carry them through their lives.
“But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:” Galatians 1:15, 16
