Being an overcomer positionally does not translate into experiential victory

Evidence

Positionally, it’s absolutely true that we are overcomers the moment we believe, because Jesus Christ is in us and He is the true overcomer (John 16:33). But experientially, (in actual fact), how many of us are actually overcoming in our everyday lives? In truth, most of us haven’t the slightest idea how to really gain victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil. — Chuck Missler, The Kingdom, Power and Glory, 1246
