                             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?”
