  • V is for Victory – in ALL areas of your life
    Jesus is victorious
    Jesus gave us His victory
    We have everything we need to live a victorious life
    Victory = Jesus is the victor – for me!
    1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT)
    1 Corinthians 15:57 NLT
    57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
    57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
    Don’t settle for less than Christ’s best

    Public victory begins with Personal victory

    We are only as victorious publicly as we are personally
    You can only teach others what you know
    you can only give what you have
    1 John 5:4 (NLT)
    1 John 5:4 NLT
    4 For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.
    4 For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.
    The early church changed the world - even before the entire Bible was written. We should have at least the same results as they. Unfortunately, we do not. It’s time to plug fully into Christ, so the world can see him through us.

    Positional truth- are you living what Jesus has given?

    In Christ, the price for everything you need has already been paid. We have a covenant with God that guarantees us everything we need to live a victoriously in every sphere of life. The child of God has every advantage possible known to man. Our limitless advantages cover every sphere of our life to include the spiritual, natural, mental, social, and financial areas of our life.
    There are reasons for failure and the Christian, but there are no excuses. Jesus has paid the ultimate price, not only for our salvation for the afterlife, but also for victory in this life.
    But in order to live victoriously, we must apply God‘s victory to every area of our personal life, or His sacrifice will do us no good in that particular area.

    Paradox – defeated Christian

    You already have victory – but can live without
    For example, the stripes on Jesus body were for the healing of your body, but yet you can remain sick.
    Jesus became poor so that we might become rich, but we could still live as poor as an unsaved person.
    It is not God’s will for His children to be sick, sad, broke, lonely, defeated, weak, ineffective, passed by, dominated
    There are two main reasons for failure = ignorance or unbelief
    · Ignorance - you have never been told.
    · Unbelief - you did not apply what you were told

    Victory in Spirit = dominant

    Victory through authority
    Victory in the Spirit means to Maintain Authority in Christ, even when attacked, like Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days
    Jesus gained your victory for you by defeating the devil and then giving you His authority through His Name!
    Jesus defeated the devil in the wilderness so we could have his victory in our world
    It is written
    We now have authority in Jesus’ Name
    Who is dominating in your life?
    When push comes to shove, who is the first one to give in?

    Victory in Soul = Joy

    3 John 2 (NLT)
    3 John 2 NLT
    2 Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.
    2 Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.

    Victorious Mind- godly thoughts

    Philippians 4:8 (NLT)
    Philippians 4:8 NLT
    8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
    8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
    Jesus’ payment – crown of thorns
    His torture – your Peace of mind
    His Word, your thoughts
    Reject ungodly thoughts – cast down imaginations
    2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (NLT)
    2 Corinthians 10:4–5 NLT
    4 We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.

    5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.
    Your face reflects your feelings, and your feelings reflect your thoughts
    Confession
    I bind my mind to the mind of Christ
    ​

    Victorious Will – godly actions

    As Jesus gained victory over HIS will, then Thy Will becomes my will
    Before Joyce Meyer, was released into a worldwide ministry, she had to gain victory over a sink full of dishes
    I bind my hands to the work of Christ

    Victorious Emotions – godly feelings

    happy, optimistic, oil of joy
    His Joy = your strength – Nehemiah 8:10
    Nehemiah 8:10 NLT
    10 And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!”
    I bind my heart to God’s heart

    Victory in Body = Health

    Jesus's payment - His stripes
    1 Peter 2:24 (NLT)
    1 Peter 2:24 NLT
    24 He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.

    Victory in Wealth = Prosperity

    Jesus was wealthy all the days of His life – kings brought Him chests full of gold when He was a child. Jesus was never bi-vocational.
    Jesus supported the entire apostolic team – even while Judas was stealing from him! Even His final seamless robe was of gambling value.
    Yet Jesus laid everything down for your victory, including financial.
    His poverty = my prosperity
    - he became poor so that we might become rich – Paul was referring to literal money in this context as it related to him receiving a financial offering to his ministry from the Corinthian church.
    2 Corinthians 8:9 (NLT)
    2 Corinthians 8:9 NLT
    9 You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.
    9 You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.
    Do you have victory in finances? Are you striving to be debt free? Are you chasing banks or are banks chasing you?

    Victory in Knowledge = Power

    education / learning
    Knowledge is power – Bible verse
    Thus, ignorance is weakness, and defeat
    What you don’t know will hurt you
    God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Jose 4:6.
    Lack of knowledge is ignorance
    We should always be learning, both spiritually and naturally

    Victory in Society - His favor

    Jesus grew in favor with God and man
    Luke 2:52 (NLT)
    Luke 2:52 NLT
    52 Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.
    52 Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.
    Know people who know people.
    Makes things happen quickly and more efficiently.
    Don’t be poor in friends
    Loneliness has become an epidemic
    ​

    Personal Inventory

    Sad – we have every advantage possible yet can be defeated, even in multiple areas!
    Broke sick and tired
    What areas do you need victory in?

    Action Items

    Don’t let anything Christ died for be in vain – for you
    Exercise the victory you do have.
    Obtain the victory you do not have-
    by finding the Scripture
    Apply the scripture as needed
    Example – if you need a new attitude, dig into the word until your thoughts change for the positive.
