INDEED: 04 Living in Victory - Jeff Eliscupidez

we're now ending the series indeed so again if you're a first timer sucked in the thing more because patapos so you can go out now in the joke okay you can stay because this series is really a standalone series in puma every week now then and we've been having this series entitled indeed because panuma showed them a this morning i wrote the taxi uh uh was a taxi driver completely rosario and all that so as i was asking him something i i normally talk to someone a taxi driver in the sacramento simon perez how long have you been driving a taxi sabina four years balance because 28 years that was abroad and then for 27 about how to gain eternal life and then i told him the stories across jesus the criminal because this guy never did any one good thing he was so uh uh uh bad but then this guy didn't do anything but he managed to earn eternal life because see jesus put in the video game freely because it's not about what you do so i mean there are people like him eternal life eternal life so that's why the whole series is all about assuring us and we've been talking about for the past three weeks the goal is that at the end of the series we will be assured that we have eternal life in christ not by good works not by your uh feeding the poor no no it won't earn you any salvation but only through christ as evidenced by how our belief about god not about the president about cars about guns no about god is increasingly reflected in our lifestyle so your believing will lead to right living wrong belief leads to wrong living so your right belief about god will lead you to right lifestyle so your assurance morale and salvation more can be reflected it's a lifestyle more so the more you increase about the knowledge you see you see god the more it will reflect because if it's just stuck knowledge allah god is forgiving very indica forgive her then you got it all wrong i'll get in the picture that's why today as we end this we still nothing must mind behind who this god is thereby giving us a lifestyle reflective of who we worship because somebody once says you become who you worship but here's the thing if you're worshiping god you're reflecting god's glory in everything that we do through our life that's why we've been talking about god is light so as children of life we no longer live in darkness we've talked about in two weeks ago god is righteous and we should live in righteousness and last week we had a great time talking about god is love and we should live in love and today this is some sort of a recap this is some sort of a culmination because all of these are just a picture of god as being victorious over over darkness over unrighteousness over a sin so god is victorious and incumbent for us to understand that we being his children should live a victorious life and handle punitive verses will be found in first john chapter five for everyone everybody say everyone for everyone born of god overcomes the world this is the victory that has overcome the world even our faith pakistan world and being overcome what do you mean by overcoming the world i don't mean that but nothing he overcome well we can see that in the first week in first john 2 15 it's going to overcome donald trump born again when we become the child of god it'll not overcome nothing do not love the world so there's the word or anything in the world if anyone loves the word the love of the father is not in them so basically what this verse is saying what john is saying there's this worldly force not totally against god's force so in worldly kingdom against a godly king kingdom it's god's kingdom or it's upon worldly kingdoms for everything in the world number one the the last of the flesh the loss of the eyes and the pride of life not from the father rather but from the world so the system of this world run opposite suppose a system in the kingdom so the last of the flesh number one the the last of eyes and the pride of life it's those the last of the flesh talks about your worthy passion loss of the eyes talks about worldly possession and the pride of life talks about this position you're longing for this position but in the new po every sin falls on this tree long paul you see satan you strapped virginia it's always to lure us to the last of the flesh you craving spoon of catawa now then whether it's sexual immorality whatever it is and then you loss of the eyes of the composition of world deposition at all costs you're willing to trade off just to have this wealth you're willing to trade off your biblical principles of ice more and of course the pride of life come to think of it when the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was number one good for food loss of the flesh and pleasing to the eye last of the eye and desirable to gain wisdom and come to think of it the temptation of jesus christ a wilderness burn followings attracted satan just fall on these three things and guess what the bible says as we've reviewed for everyone born of god overcomes the world you're not willing to trade you're not willing to change you your personality identity move before god for just a simple millionaire you're not willing to trade that because we have overcome the world and and believe me i've seen people pon antagonize and yet this struggle with the flesh they struggle with the last of us and the struggle with the sin of pride of life it's really hard for them we we somehow cannot win this battle because we we me nakalimu but that's just why today i'd like to tell you we love winning we love conquering we love dominating it's innate for us human beings we're rooting for her because we want to be always on the winning and that's why all those things do nothing but here's the thing how come inner christians walk we become average christian it's one thing to lose in any game but it's one thing to lose in your christian battle if you're here today one temptation away you're living on the edge it's some temptation or some of you here you become a doorman christian and somehow you become an average christian about ohio at least but that's not the way god designed us we're not we're not designed to just merely survive god did not design you to merely a survivor christian but god decided to be a conqueror more than a survivor now barely at least christianity i can see you walking here with in the elevator physically but i can see your spirit or suppression worship and then refresh and then you're gonna fight on them on the battle and just be a doormat in satan every single week have you ever been an average christian napoleon you've settled at least we try to justify if you're here today we're not called to be just a survivor you know why let me tell you why because according to this verse which you should hold on to in genesis 1 27 so god created human beings situated human beings human being okay in his own image in the image of god he created them in the image and likeness of god that's our distinct composition we're not like animals we're not like flowers we're not like the the sun the moon no no we're distinct because we were created in the image and likeness of gods and i don't think god is an image of a loser not so if you're here today nothing born again and yet we're gonna study because in this chapter john gives us a little insight to what it truly means to be a to be a conqueror in fact more than conqueror to be a victorious christian set okay so this is uh roland 2002 is a pba or filipino captain until 1986 world champion 1998 you see the truth is listen up most people don't know and don't care you know why because in the larger in a larger sense it's irrelevant to me it's irrelevant to you it's unimportant because most people want to win in something which matters to them you want to know who's the winner you want to win in things that matters to you your marriages are character issues more and you want to win in that battle you want to win in your integrity issues for the longest time until then you want to win and those things you want to win in those things who matters to you not to see no no no no champion i don't care about them because to me it's irrelevant i want to win in things that matters to me because my father no wallana you depression is eating you up that's why you want to win in those battles and so if you're here today i'm going to offer you the three key elements of victoria's life that we're gonna learn in first john chapter five that if you're a christian you've settled if you're a christian who's barely surviving if you're a christian a loser if you're a christian about at least like a church well this message is for you now if you're a christian who served with conqueror okay and that's good for you but i'm going to be speaking to a bunch of christians here today now hindi muhammad and compromise good times i don't want this anymore so we're going to talk about our beliefs we're going to talk about our obedience and lastly our faith that we're going to see details of first john chapter 5 let's pray father we thank you for is something lord god that we have a participation allah coming participation is a salvation but in this part of our life this sanctification this being made holy lord we pray that we understood lord god that you have made us conquer our slogan victorious but we're just lord we're not marching towards victory we're marching from the stance of victory that's why kai and i'm into lord god so help us lord human to the last of flesh last of the eyes and the pride of life i pray father that you give us wisdom today to understand that we're already victorious in these three arenas so father help us to understand this and lord help me to speak effectively to your people today in jesus name amen in verse one it says everyone who believes so that includes you you you you submission everyone who believes that jesus is the christ remember the january belief week this time john wrote this letter to address human gnostics false teachers because they're they're they're teaching hindi preparing making jesus jesus because the body is sinful your spirit is good so there cannot be it cannot be in a young god in jesus name worship no savior because it but then john addresses the issue everyone who believes that jesus is the messiah that jesus is the savior that's why it all boils down literally they make us what we are because your theology determines your biography will determine whatever is written there is based on who how much you know your god as a distant god then if you can't relate to your father in heaven as a loving father then you will be a person full of sin what we believe will dictate the way we live your view of today will be the realities of tomorrow that's why it's important i remember the story is an eggnog eagle you know the story right so thinking he was a chicken the eagle did what the chicken does among chickens they scratch dirt for seeds and insect they fly few meters so you eat he's thinking he was a chicken and one day he saw this huge bird the lumilipad he looked up into the sky and and high above the sky he saw this magnificent bird hanging with graceful majesty on the powerful current air wow don't you think don't ever think or don't you give it another thought that you will be like him because we're all chicken so the ego for the rest of his life an insect never able to sword the heights never able to to really uh the acceleration of flight and the majesty which was his by birthright indian experience and tragically a lot of christians today are like that eagle barely surviving a lot of christians today are like that an average christian in fact indica average krishna you're a poor type of christian that's why indie woman reached out to christianity if you are a christian here and living like that eagle you're never meant to be like that you're an eagle you're not barely surviving you're not living on the edge you're not easily frightened by circumstances you're not easily lured by the flesh and by the last of flesh eyes and pride of life you are an ego the bible says in isaiah 40 31 but those who hope in the lord see the ritual you're hoping in the lord for something healing blessing whatever you're hoping for is habit those who hope in the lord will renew their strength it doesn't mean it come again eagles but they renew their strength and look at i like to look at these action words they will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not go weary they will walk and will not fade meaning to say whether you're flying whether you're walking whether you're running you'll never be stopped you will always not grow weary you will not grow faint because god will sustain you so if you're a christian here you've given up on your beverage you're a chicken but you're never meant to be a chicken you're an eagle because everyone who believes that jesus is the christ has been born of god and everyone who loves the father loves his child that's what means to say believe more towards this god do you believe that you're a chicken or you're an eagle because you're a child of god we believe that we are child of god so we have to love jesus and love is killed in australia christianity so let's move on now by this little paul now that's your belief we know that we love the children of god when we love and obey love and obey hindi if you love you will obey his commandments now here's the problem with us i am a human being we have a problem with obedience we have a problem with obeying isn't it you an employee to her employer as a soldier officer and we this problem with us whether it comes to our obedience and it's innate in us submits authority but then jesus was saying remember when jesus was about to die his last meeting some of the disciples yeah he said if you love me you'll obey my commandments so it's always like that you're loving and obeying no problem we have a hard time obeying because indeed in the end you love the father who wants the best for you who's selflessly living out his life for you sorry wow throughout the bible we see important truths illustrated put it over and over again when we obey we are being empowered by god let me start any joshua kelly joshua see joshua when he was about to cross the jordan river but then god commanded them you crossed that river how was he joshua okay so um but then the moment they took that step of faith the water started to resign and sometimes we need to step out in obedience we need to step out in faith ka singapore god required us imagine imagining you feeding up the five thousand but now he might be getting a few breads and and and fish at least small mustard seed and faith that god can work on to salvation definitely but in our sanctification we have to make effort in fact eight times in the bible it says make every effort in fact this love this is love for god to keep his commandments and his commandments are not burdensome because the problem is we don't believe him that's why we cannot obey him we don't believe that he's loving that's why ayurnation is not for example let's say it's a case in pointless for example is it burdensome bear with each other wow and forgive one another if any of you have grievance against someone forgive as the lord forgave you you see it forgives believe guess what when god commanded something it's for your own good because sin because unforgiveness will kill you we've said this many times here before unforgiveness is for your own good because the more you forgive there's this heavy load that is being lifted up you can do it but but bear with each other and forgive one another but then this verse is saying bear with each other and forgive one another why because god has forgave you first you name is the reason why you can forgive other people because god has forgiven you um are you getting the picture so if you are here today this is one commandment that's why i'm saying it's like eating it's for your own good diabetes that's why these verses are made for your own advantage the more you forgive the more you're released the more you forgive the more god is being glorified it's a buhay more and people will see man i'm going to forgive you but i'm going to forgive you i've been forgiven by god first that's why i can forgive imagine if all of us here nasa mm-hm imagine imagine for a moment if all of us here will go out of this room i i forgive you thai feed wow this is going to be a better world but imagine for a moment he william bitterness it's not good for you having a princess elsa let it go let it go because that is moral for you let it go let it go you see obedience unlocks god's power mabaliba magtis yes because when you and when you obey god's commandment it unlocks the provision of god it unlocks the power for you to trust in this god that never will i leave you nor forsake you that when you so something you know what it doesn't make sense because that's designed that way for you to trust him god waits for you to act first listen up don't wait to feel powerful or unable or confident move ahead in your weakness do the right thing in spite of your fear and doubt just do it god if you said it i'll do it as i've said while effort has nothing to do with your salvation in your sanctification your spiritual growth eight times in the bible it says make every effort towards becoming like jesus we're no longer victim but victors we don't have to be victim that's why if you're here today you're living a christian like nataluna m are you getting this because of the loss of the eyes the loss of the flesh the pride of life is you are the daughter you are the son of the king of kings and the lord of lords what more can you ask for regardless of congress in the sight of god you are higher than those positions because he sent his son to die for you that's how precious you are so never settle for anything less position more in the sight of god you're a precious son i've seen ceos of companies and here you are and that's why guys we have to really understand this you're a child of god our belief our obedience and lastly as we end our faith now jeff young i i'll try to segmentize this a bit let me believe it's a starting point we all believe in god i mean coming from a catholic nation like but i we believe that there's god right parent you really have faith that he can carry you through a cancer situation do you really have faith you see if you just believe in god well guess what in james 2 19 you believe that there is one god good even the demons believe that so i got at park okay because so believing is one thing but having having faith wow that's a higher level it's full trust faith is being sure of what you're hoping for and certain of what you do not see for example do you believe nasi president president right but do you have faith in him yeah that's the point we all believe generally about this god but do we have faith in him there's a story of this guy you know james blanding or charles blandin remember see charles blandin james mandian see james blanding he is a tightrope walker sort of 1859 1860 for the first time he walked on top of the niagara falls so it's like a one thousand one hundred feet long hundred sixty feet above niagara river and then made juveton town like the tightrope great type of lightroom walker sabinia do you believe i can go back there again yeah you know the great asher the greatest fight rob walker we believe okay we'll borrow it do you believe that i can carry a man okay we will volunteer we will volunteer you see we believe in the guy but you have faith that he can really do it so some of you here you have so much belief in your god but you really believe you really have faith that they can restore that marriages do you have faith in pornography adultery that you're into right now do you believe that if you forgive you for you do you really have faith that just believe remember another story see jairus he went to jesus jesus jesus my daughter is dying would you come with me and he said jesus somebody a bleeding woman a delay and all to make the story short but then the the daughter was dead somebody came to jail as jairus don't bother the teacher your daughter is dead see jairus that's why if you're here today somebody said first gen fight for for every for everyone who has been born of god overcomes the world and this is the victory that has overcome the world our faith our fame the world is offering me this the last of the flesh the loss of the eyes the pride of life but i know my god will want more for me in the bible loves me i believe in this god who loves me i'm a son i'm his daughter i'll never settle for anything less because that's my faith in my god faith is the cause of victory the means the instrument it's the spiritual armor by which we will overcome the word victory the word overcome has something to do with this their god is in nike sydney were the nike that they're overcomers they're victorious that's a greek word for it cannon verse five sabinya but this faith cannot be faith on yourself because a lot of us here today if i ask you we all have faith we all may feta is a stock market you have faith in your bank account you have faith in your connection you have faith in your last name you have faith in who's who in the government let the mentality may fade to someone or to something but that's at the faith that john is talking about he's talking about this faith that is anchored on one person alone who is he that overcomes the world only the one who believes that jesus is the son of god so his faith our faith should be anchored on jesus not faith and faith because some of us were hyper faith we have faith on faith it won't last only the faith in christ can be overcome if you're going through tough times today if you're going through an average spanning lifestyle of a christian if you're a christian about them barely surviving if you're a christian who's always been a big name if you're a christian and guess what god wants you to be more than over to be more than just a surviving christian and in this story this this this couple danielle and marie gonzalez so similarly the one in blue and that's me and my wife we had a talk with her a few weeks ago and they're attending church marie was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 3 in 2008. now they believe they obey the world and they have faith in god so to make the story short she was declared cancer-free after a year wow imagine that's that's god's grace right i mean being cancer-free stage three after a year wow that's good news but guess what four years after 2013 bumalic metastasize and it's now stage four cancer much worse and it would require three kinds of therapy the oral therapy the thomas therapy and the radiation type of therapy so sovereign damage therapy you worship september of last year up until april today 2014. effect it's secreting fluid smelly every three hours half of her body so to make a long story short she was declared palliative care it became mama taken a long time because she's useless here's a woman who's trusting god obeying his command and have faith nagalinxa and now nakasi effective therapy as in it's very easy that's what the doctors say but they held on to these three verses isaiah 53 5 jeremiah 29 11 and romans 10 13 yellow point verse the legendary declare then it declared that everyone who holds in the name of the lord you'll be saved unbearably young pain wounds with continuous fluid ah i don't i i cannot imagine the thought wow it's a good thing you know it's a nurse so you i have your kind of faith because sometimes my faith all my faith until this kind of things happen you will really be tested and my hope and prayer in the average christian morons this woman have three wishes long or three prayers like i got number one something yeah to give her peace or kindness lord just give me peace just give me peace number two requesting i got to give her the wisdom to understand the situation lord help me to navigate you're thinking and victorious life is that's not a sign of victorious life i mean if you look at the early christian people and all that's not a picture in good life that's not part of a package in fact the bible says you'll have many troubles having given the wisdom to understand the situation and to turn this event in our life as an opportunity to glorify god wow a dying woman is a parent request well indeed her life becomes an opportunity for god to be glorified for whatever reason and that's that's her right now and on may 20 wow i don't know but that's our faith and i hope you have that kind of faith as well guys all of us are going through tough times means i'm feeling something guess what there are more people will trade places with you that's a reality we're so focused on our needs we're so focused on the last of the eyes millions of people will trade places with your situation you just have to be thankful in god that's why something is my body feels good or bad i keep my attention focus on god's healing his promises situations and circumstances may change but the word of god will never change that's by mark brazier that's her favorite quote let's all stand on our feet today if you're here you're saying jeff i'm that kind of christian i'm settled i'm average let as you as your pastor you know what i i love you enough to tell you this god didn't create you god didn't just save you to just barely survive god didn't create you to be a chicken god didn't create you to just scratch dirt god wants you god wants to be to use you for his glory for his kingdom wherever you are in your offices in your campuses god wants you to prosper to thrive and guys it won't work i know assurance nothing in first gen 4 for you dear children imagine the word beer on you dear children and from god and have overcome them you've overcome the word you know why because the one who is in you is far far greater than the one who is in the world that's why you need to overcome that's why you can overcome because the one who is in you is greater than he who is asking us to be lured by the last of the flesh the last of that man because i have a far greater sense of fulfillment with my god that's why if you're here today you're playing religion guess what it won't work but that's not the assurance so if you're a christian you're trying to play religion guess what life is too short be used by god be an eagle that's soaring i'll end in this verse john 16 33 and we'll pray i've told you these things jesus speaking when he was about to die the last days of his life so that in me you may have peace in this world you have many troubles but take heart jesus said i have overcome the world wow this is the god we're worshiping it's done two thousand years that goes across it's done it's finished your last your craving for sin it has been overcome by jesus christ death and sin that's why there's no more craving supposed to be if you focus more on jesus how do you unlock that read this word indicating the bible how can you overcome the world you're not reading your bible every day you're not praying you're not meditating guys we cannot win this battle by wishful thinking hello we cannot win this battle by attending sunday service we win this battle on our knees every single day praying lord help us today a marriage just the lord is staring apart because they call themselves a christian and yet they cannot obey your word father in the name of jesus we just give them this greater understanding that you want the best for them in the name of jesus we pray for restoration of marriages lord god we pray father some are rebellious killed into their parents i pray that they will honor their parents lord god because that's your commandment lord god there's no special clause or anything love honor your parents period but i pray that you'll just give them lord a higher sense of purpose in their calling but the calling is not just to attend here every sunday this is just a fellowship lord god of your people christianity is practiced outside this building lord i praise them out compromise and faith left and right in the name of jesus we just give them the wisdom the grace to say no to ungodliness because you have not called them to be chickens you have called them to be like eagles lord god soaring so father we pray because in higher perspective lord that they never settled lord god that they're not called to be barely survivors lord god but we're called to be conquerors so lord christian compromised the lord in the name of jesus we give give them lord god the peace the pakistan they will be better off i don't know whether it's financial malpractice whatever it is lord in the name of jesus give them the grace to understand that you are our provider never will you leave us or forsake us that's why we cannot settle for anything less lord god lord jesus the doubt
