VICTORY IN JESUS
REV 12;10&11
Jesus Christ said: These things I have spoken
unto you,
That in Me Ye might have peace.
In the world Ye shall have tribulation: But be of good
Cheer; I have overcome the world
Hearing this We probably would say WOW!!
JESUS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU’RE
TALKING ABOUT.
Yes I have problems and YES I NEED HELP. And
Through Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ We have all
The help that We could possibly need!!!
People from the Old times had their share of problems too.
They had Financial problems. If they were caught
Having Faith in Christ, Everything they owned was
Sold and the person turning them in Got 10 % !!
That is a financial problem if I have ever heard one!!!
They also had emotional problems.
They had STRESS
That was caused by RULERS,
KINGS, LIONS, WILD ANIMALS & TORTURE..
They knew loneliness, which was caused by exile
or deportation into slavery, or Imprisonment.
This is a testimony from a great saint who was
Later be-headed.
But of course He is now in the place We are
Working toward being also!!!
ROMANS 8;35-39 Says:
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ???
Shall tribulation, or distress or persecution. Or famine
Or nakedness, or peril, or sword??
As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us..
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor
Angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come
Nor height nor depth nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord!!!!
You see We cannot be separated from God’s Love,
because it’s set forth in a person who is God himself,
Jesus Christ , our Savior.
God’s desire to redeem believers cannot be frustrated because He is infinitely greater than any potential enemy!!
We as Christians WILL realize his plan because it
IS HIS PURPOSE!!!!!
REV 12;9
DEFINES AND DESCRIBES THE ONE DEFEATED, He is the old serpent called the devil and Satan who deceives.
Or better known as YOU KNOW WHO!!!
Now there is four Key things I would like
to point out to you.
#1- SALVATION – is a reference to the great
act of rescue
and resulting in safety, For us as believers
in The Lord
JESUS CHRIST!!!
#2 – STRENGTH – Effected this salvation, Through
the miracles of Incarnation and resurrection
it belongs to US AS BELEIVERS!!!
#3 – KINGDOM – The rule of grace by God in the
lives of those who experience His Salvation!!!
#4 – POWER – Is the Word OF Authority.
This is the Authority spoken of in Matt 28;18
All power is given unto me in heaven and In Earth
He is the one who deceives – He tempts us to do evil
By deception.
NOW LISTEN CLOSELY!!!!
If We Allow Him to BE SUCCESSFUL
HE THEN IS
OUR ACCUSER, AND ONCE DECEIVED – HE
BROADCASTS THE NEWS OF OUR SINS AND DEMANDS GOD’S JUSTICE FOR OUR PUNISHMENT DAY AND NIGHT…
The Devil has been cast down and then we enjoy
HAVING VICTORY IN JESUS!!!!!
As a Christian We have the ultimate Victory in Jesus.
Our spiritual war is WON, THE BATTLE IS DONE!
But we still must give it our BEST ALWAYS
WE WILL have CHALLENGES AND TEMPTATIONS
And problems, and Tribulations. And they
Not be a minimum, BUT JESUS SAID:
Be Of Good Cheer!!!
WE MUST HAVE ON OUR SPIRITUAL ARMOR!
Apostle Paul describes the Christians Armor
In The book of Ephesians chapter 6. There’s The Truth-
There is the helmet of salvation,- the Sword of the Spirit
She Shield of Faith -The Gospel of Peace, -The Breastplate of Righteousness and so forth
This isn’t armor that you can see with fleshly eyes
It’s a spiritual armor.
Nevertheless
It’s the armor that every Christian must wear
If WERE going to have victory over SATAN
And VICTORY IN JESUS!!!!
EPHES 6;12&13 SAYS:
For We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against Principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the Darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand!!
Let me back up just for a minute and show you that
Eventually We will learn this lesson that will allow
Us to have Daily Victory!!
REV 12;10&11
Explains to us very simply that we can be assured
That we can overcome any Problem.
IT SAYS in verse # 10
And I heard a loud vice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and Night.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives unto the death!!!!
The starting point is in
1st John 1;7
But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all SIN!!!
WHAT DID IT SAY???
THE BLOOD!!! It doesn’t say – some blood or the blood plus something. It Says THE BLOOD!!!!
Some people think that because they hear Salvation
Is Free, Think that its to Easy!!! It is EASY, and its FREE BUT ITS NOT CHEAP
Jesus Christ Paid the BIG PRICE!
And all for us – Just a Bunch of Sinners!!!
You know the devil himself has attacked the basic fact that THE BLOOD Cleanses Us.
He will attack the Word
Of God and Us with Everything he has
He will cause us to water down Gods word or
Live this verse and leave that one out
Or He will cause us not to get the full
understanding or Full meaning that God is
trying to get across to us!!!!!
So here is a question at hand!!
Is your armor fitting good tonight?
Or has it gotten loose?
Have you got going in the same direction as Saul??
Get your armor back in place
EPHESIANS 6:13 SAYS: WHAT???
Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to STAND!!!!
Little David wasn’t depending of physical armor
All he had was his staff, a sling and five smooth rocks!
He was standing on The solid Rock and didn’t
Even know it!!! The solid Rock of JESUS!!!
Everyone thought that Goliath was too big to kill
Little David knew that He was to big to miss!!!!
When Goliath saw Little David He Mocked Him
David was depending on his Spiritual Armor
And The guidance from God!!!
Goliath couldn’t see David’s armor
If he could have seen it He would have run for his life!!
David had on all the pieces mentioned in Ephesians chapter Six…
They were all in place and fitting perfectly!!!!!!
Is your armor in place and fitting perfectly??
Do you have Mega Strength in God??
Remember The Blood of Jesus Christ was shed for the forgiveness of our Sins on Calvary, And is applicable to all the lands on Earth.
The Angels of the Lord have beaten the Fallen Angel
The Old devil himself, By the Blood of the Lamb.
A great spiritual battle was fought for You and Me
At the cross.
The Two Supernatural’s of the universe met there!!!!
Christ Won this Awesome battle for your soul and Mine
At The Cross!!!!
DO YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH OF GOD???
Or do you have sin in your camp??
Moses led the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years
If I remember correctly It was only a 12 mile walk.
But they kept missing God, Because there was
SIN!!!! SIN IN THEIR CAMP!!!!!
There are many weak saints today
They hardly ever get their prayers answered,
They seldom see any spiritual movement in their lives
And then they wonder why!!!!!!!!!
Do you think it’s maybe because they don’t have the strength of God in their lives???
I CAN TELL YOU WHY!!!!
THEY HAVE SIN IN THEIR CAMP!!!!!
LISTEN TO ME TONIGHT CHURCH!!
IF YOU ALLOW FORNICATION, ADULTERY,
TAKING OF THE LORDS NAME IN VAIN,
SMOKING, DRINKIN ALCOHOL, SHACKIN UP,
INSIDE YOUR HOME,
THEN YOU HAVE SIN IN YOUR CAMP!!!!
YOU HAVE TO OBEY GOD!!!!
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO HAVE
VICTORY IN JESUS???
There is 10 ways to further your Victory!!!!!
