VICTORY

WHAT I LONG TO COMMUNICATE IN MY
MESSAGE ON VICTORY

I desire to show how Jesus alone has victory. Our only hope
for victory over the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and
the boastful pride of life is the fact that the victorious One
lives in my heart. He is the overcomer and He lives in me.
The enemy is far too strong for me to go to war with him.
Jesus did not win the victory as my example; He won the
victory as my Substitute. All that He has, does and is belongs
to me by faith in Jesus. If I seek a victory of my own, 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?”
