Victory Within: The Pathway to an Overcoming Life
Victorious Christian Living is meant to be the norm for every true believer in Christ.
Revelation 2:7
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God."
Revelation 2:11
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death."
Revelation 2:17
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it."
Revelation 2:26
"And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—"
Revelation 3:5
"He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels."
Revelation 3:12
"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name."
Revelation 3:21
"To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."
God actually expects us to overcome. To live victoriously.
#1 It starts with Intimacy.
THIS is eternal life that they might KNOWHim! (John 17:3)
Philippians 3:10 “that I may know Him and the power of His resur- rection, & the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,”
John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.”
If you will get this part of the Christian life right. if you will prioritize this above all, then will be well on your way to victorious Christian living!
Christians who prioritize their relationship w/ Christ through a consistent devotional life tend to live victoriously.
2 Peter 1:2-4 says “Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of Godand of Jesus our Lord. 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. 4 Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.”
As you spend time with Him you will become like Him.
The law, legalism, is contrary to faith.
The Righteous live by faith
I Jn 5:4 - “for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”
And without faith it is impossible to please God!
This is the victory that overcomes the world even our faith.
