On August 22nd in reading my website's daily devotional, I came across the "18 Overcoming Arrows to Place in Your Quiver" that Matthew Nolan with Torah to the Tribes shared in his teaching on Romans 12. I enjoyed reviewing the list, and thought you would also. The link to the full teaching on Romans is at the end of this blog which is most definitely worthy of review...especially chapter 12!

Rom 12:20 “Instead, if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him a drink, for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head.” Pro_25:21-22.
Rom 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Overcome: From the Greek word ‘nikao’ meaning to mightily prevail over, to master, to be victorious. We have a choice in every situation to either be a victor or to be vanquished. Too many of us are failing to experience consistent victory over our anger, fear and self-centered responses to adversity.
Overcome with praises to יהוה: that you are already a conqueror through Messiah who loves you. Romans 8:37
Overshadow any opposition with His mighty power.“Then the angel said to Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you like a shining cloud and so the holy offspring will shall be born of you.”Luke 1:13
Overlook others faults. Proverbs 19:11, “A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.”
Overflow with love, hope, joy and faith. The Greek word is ‘hyperperisseuo’, which means to abound more exceedingly. To overflow means to extend beyond the limits by going over the brim of vessel. David wrote, “My cup overflows.” (Psalms 23:5,6)
Overpower with Messiah’s mighty power working in and through you. Paul wrote, “I can do everything יהוה asks me to do with the help of Messiah who gives me the strength and power.” (Phil. 4:13)
Overrule with the power of the Holy Spirit’s presence, power and perspective. Yahusha said, “In the world, you will have tribulation but be of good cheer as I have overcome the world. I will send to you another comforter who will be with you.” Satan dwells in the arena of magnification and imaging.
Do not over inflate negative pressures.
Do not over react to problems.
Do not overstate your difficulties. “No temptation that has taken you but such as is common to man. But Elohim will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able. With each temptation He will provide a way of escape so you can be able to bear it.” (I Corinthians 10:13).
Do not go overboard by showing extreme fear, intimidation or anger at the enemy. Greater is He who is in us than He who is in the world. (I John 4:4).
Do not be overwhelmed by what you’re up against. “Whatever is born of Elohim is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. Who is it that is victorious over the world and who conquers the world, but he who believes that Yahusha is the Son of Elohim, who trusts, adheres and relies on that fact.” I John 5:4,5.
Do not be overly critical of evil people. יהוה opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Submit to יהוה, resist the devil and he will flee from you.” James 4:2.
Do not overemphasize hardship (wilderness murmurings).
Do not demand to understand why bad things happen to good people: Deuteronomy 29:29 says, “The secret things belong to יהוה our Elohim, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
Do not dwell on the negative. We’re to rejoice always, pray without ceasing and in everything give thanks for this is the will of Elohim in Messiah Yahusha concerning you. (I Thessalonians 5:16)
Do not hesitate to take the offensive: Joshua and Caleb went up at once and took The Land. David said to Goliath “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin but I come against you in the name of the יהוה Tzevoth, the Elohim of the armies of Israel, whom you defied’.
Finally; be overjoyed in יהוה: “Rejoice in יהוה always, again I say rejoice”, Paul wrote in Philippians 4:4. “Trust in יהוה and do good. Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in יהוה and He will give you the desires of your heart. Trust also in Him and He will bring things to pass. Commit your way to יהוה and He will do it.” (Psalms 37:3-5).
