Jesus was fully human and fully divine. As such, He knows what it feels like to be tempted and tried. And here’s the good news: He also knows what it’s like to overcome. Even better, that same overcoming power is available to us through Christ!

In this episode of Publishing Secrets, guest host Mandy Leigh reminds us that Jesus desires for us to live a life of victory, not defeat. And we can! Because — as the apostle Paul tells us in Romans 8:11 — the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us, we have been given the power to overcome. So get excited! You are not powerless in the face of trials and temptations. You are not alone in your struggle. Jesus has given you everything you need to overcome. Let Mandy’s story remind you to trust Him and keep believing until you see His power manifest in your life.
