Pastor Trish Gregory - Victory
“Victory: Heir Force Won”
What’s so celebratory about this occasion?
Opening Text:
1 John 5:4-5 KJV, 1 John 5:4-5 TPT
Victory = nike = conquest, the means of success.
World = kosmos = from the root word (kolumbao) meaning to tend, take care of, provide for an order of arrangement; system of inhabitants.
I. HEIR
—A person legally entitled to the property or rank of another on that person’s death.
—A person who inherits or is entitled to inherit the rank, title, position, etc. of another.
—A person who legally succeeds to the place of a deceased person and assumes the rights and obligation of the deceased, as the liabilities for debts or the possessory rights to property and privileges.
1. Position
Hebrews 9:15-17 MSG
- As Christians, your social, economic, racial, cultural, or intellectual status does not matter. You have been assigned to high, dominating, conquering positions for not other reason because you believe in the One who is Supreme in Authority. HE died so that you can have all that HE had and walked in.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 KJV
- Who you were before Christ is not an issue with HIM.
1 Corinthians 1:30-31 TPT
- Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good but invite dead people to live.
- 2 Corinthians 1:20 KJV
- 3 John 1:2 KJV
- 2 Peter 1:3-4 TPT
Hebrews 9:17 KJV
- Christ died so that this position and power can be yours. And HE came back to enforce it! In doing so, Jesus established and cemented the our identity and the keys to obtain all that is in being an HEIR.
1. Privilege
It’s one thing to be an HEIR but then there’s the taking. We are excited about the winning because there’s a prize that goes along with it. But one must take the prize.
Matthew 11:12 KJV
- Since John started preaching about the Realm of Godly Living (Kingdom of Heaven), many had pressed into it seizing onto its power.
Luke 16:16 TPT
With power comes authority and responsibility.
1 Corinthians 6:2-3 KJV
Mark 16:15-18 KJV
1 Corinthians 15:54-58 TPT
Psalm 20:7 TPT; Psalm 109:27 TPT
1. Peace
John 16:33 KJV
Peace = be at one again; prosperity; rest.
Tribulation = pressure; anguish; burdened
Have overcome = nikao = prevailed, gotten the victory, conquered.
John 14:26-27 KJV
-vs. 27 MSG = I don't leave you the way you're used to being left-feeling abandoned, bereft. So don't be upset. Don't be distraught.
IF we’re not walking in the victory that Jesus has provided for us, then we suffer unnecessarily...denying HIS sacrifice.
