“Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the
one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on
the other, with my flesh the law of sin.” How do I get out of Romans
7 and into Romans 8? I say, “Thank You.” That’s it; you just say,
“Thank You.” He’s done it all! He’s the overcomer! He has
overcome everything between you and the will of God.

To enjoy victory is to enjoy Jesus. Now, that’s the theology. Let
me give you an illustration from the Old Testament. I’ll set it up
with a verse from the New Testament, Colossians 1:13, “For He
delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the
kingdom of His beloved Son.” There are two kingdoms; the
kingdom of God and the kingdom of the devil. He said, “I translated
you into the kingdom of God.” He gives us a picture of that in
Daniel 2.

Daniel 2 was that great dream of Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel 2:19, 22
& 23, “Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a night vision.
Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven… It is He who reveals the
profound and the hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness,
and the light dwells with Him. To Thee, O God of my fathers, I give
thanks and praise, for Thou hast given me wisdom and power. Even
now Thou hast made known to me what we requested of Thee, for
Thou hast made know to us the king’s matter.”

Remember that Nebuchadnezzar said, “Tell me the dream and the
interpretation.” Daniel’s only hope was to call on the Lord and he
called on the Lord. Here is the dream. Daniel 2:31-36, “You, O
king, were looking and behold there was a single great statue; that
statue which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing
in front of you, and its appearance was awesome. The head of that
statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its
belly and its thighs off bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron
and partly of clay.

You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and
it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and crushed them.
