HOW TO LIVE VICTORIOUSLY
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS HERE YOU HAVE AN INHERITANCE & HOPE THERE!
YOU ARE SHIELDED FROM EVIL BY GOD’S POWER!
SOMETHING WAY BIGGER GOING ON THAN YOUR SUFFERING!
Holiness doesn’t mean that you don’t have evil desires, doubts, or a struggle It MEANS YOU STILL CHOOSE GOD OVER THEM.
Mosaic Law spoke of something as “unclean” if it was unfit to use in worship to God.
THE PATH TO VICTORY
1. We NEED TO RECOGNIZE we are in a SPIRITUAL BATTLE
Satan wants you to TAKE YOU HOPE OFF OF JESUS and put it onto HUMANITY, CIRCUMSTANCES, FINANCES, FAILURES and exploit every evil desire in you to ROB YOUR HOLINESS AND YOUR WORSHIP OF GOD.
2. IT’S OK TO HURT DEEPLY AND TO FEEL EVIL DESIRES.
3. WE MUST LEARN TO TURN HURT INTO HOLINESS.
CONSECRATE OURSELVES TO GOD - TO DECLARE TRUTH OVER BELIEVING A LIE
Reality, we can blame everyone else for being broken, but ultimately we are the ones robbing ourselves of our own Holiness.
