I will be frustrated and disappointed. The battle over my flesh is His
and not mine!

The Indispensable Principle

Once again as we come to prepare to look into the word of the Lord
I remind you of an indispensable principle; total reliance on God’s
Holy Spirit. The Bible is like the Lord Jesus. It’s both human and
divine. There’s a human side and there’s a divine side. If we only
see the human, we miss everything. Only God can show us the divine
side. Romans 8:32, “He who did not spare His own Son, but
delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely
give us all things?”

God doesn’t give His Son and something else called “peace”. He
doesn’t give His Son and something else called “power”. He
doesn’t give Himself and something else called “joy”. If you have
Christ you have peace. If you have Christ you have joy. If you have
Christ you have power. If you run after joy, peace or power you’ll
find nothing. You’ll only get frustrated. Let’s pray together and ask
the Lord to focus our eyes on Christ.

Heavenly Father, we thank You that you have put Your Holy Spirit
in our life, a Bible Teacher living in our hearts, One who searches
the depths of God and reveals Him to us. Take the veil away, Lord.
Take the veil away. Enable us to see Christ in a living way. In
Jesus’ name. Amen

We are looking at the great foundations of our faith. What I’d like
to share now is the truth of victory in Jesus. What could be more
foundational than knowing how we can have victory in Christ Jesus?
Some people, when they think about victory, only think of
indwelling sin, “I’m a Christian and I still struggle with sin. Is there
victory over indwelling sin? Of course, the answer is yes but there
is victory that is larger than that.
