THE SPIRITUAL NATURE OF OUR BATTLE
Eph. 6:12; II Cor. 10:3,4

The victory is ours through Christ.   Rom. 8:32,37; I Cor. 15:57.   It is true that there will be many
battles, apparent defeats, set- backs, closed doors, spiritual failure and yes, deaths.   Get the whole
picture.   Do not be taken up too much with individual or isolated events.

  1. God Is Still Sovereign And In Control.   Isaiah 40:15; Dan. 2:20-22; 4:35; Job 12:14-
    23; Ps. 75:6,7; Jerm. 27:5; Prov. 1:24-31; Ps. 76:10; 62:11; Heb. 13:8.

  2. God Has Never Ever Failed In His Promises.   II Cor. 1:20; II Pet. 1:4.

    There are over seven thousand promises in the Bible - one for every need of the believer.
    Joshua 21:45; 23:14; I Kings 8:56; Heb. 6:13-18; Acts 7:5; II Pet. 3:9.   Related promises.
    Heb. 2:3; Isaiah 30:18; Ps. 34:8; Prov. 16:20; Jerm. 17:7,8.

  3. Victory Is Assured Because Of The Lord's Mandates.

    With each commandment that the Lord gives, He gives sufficient grace to fulfill or carry it
    out to completion.   II Cor. 9:8; Eph. 3:20; II Cor. 12:9.

    To the obedient church, the Lord has promised:

    1. His power - Authority - Matt. 28:18.
    2. His presence - Matt. 28:20.
    3. His provision - Phil. 4:13-19.

  4. Victory Is Also Based In The Lord's Coming.   II Thess. 2:8

    In Glory with His own.   Rev. 1:5-8; 19:11-16; Phil. 2:9-11; Eph. 1:19-22; Matt. 16:18;
    Isaiah 11:3-5; Job 4:3-9; Ps. 91:14-16.

    It Is True!   Do You Believe?
