Walk, Stand, Sit: Three Sides of Spiritual Victory

My subject title real briefly today is called the three sides of victory. Alright. So look at somebody and say, here's how you maintain victory. Here's how you maintain victory. See, thanks be to God. He's already won the war. And he said, I give unto you the victory. So he's already won the war. So as believers, as we mature in Christ, we find out we don't have to lose a battle. Yes. I know in the natural, ma'am. That's normal. You ain't gonna win every war, I'm a say that one more time. In Christ, we can be undefeated. [01:22:37] (41 seconds)  #UndefeatedInChrist

The influence one allows others to have determines to a large extent one's spiritual destiny. The walks, stands, and sits seems to suggest a progression of influence. In other words, who's influencing you? Do you know whose influence you are under? Because every day, we are under one influence or another. Who are you listening to? Whose report are you believing? I I told you, this is enough out here to drive you crazy. [01:30:18] (38 seconds)  #WhoInfluencesYou

But what is promised to those who read and meditate on all the song is this word blessing. In the Hebrew, it's plural blessings, and it's equivalent to the Greek, and the Greek word says blessed or happy. It causes us English scholars of the Bible to use the word happiness, and I break it down and said, oh, the happiness of the man who walks not, who stands not, nor sits not.

So we could be such under the wrong influence that we sit right in church judging our sisters and brothers while we're church. And then don't realize why you're judging them, somebody's judging you. That's right. Mhmm. And guess what? And it's God. And he's always right. He's always right. If a preacher and a pastor was to look and respond back to the way people be looking at them most of the time, it'll make you wanna run out and quit preaching.

So we can do great things, but you ought to be able that's why I said every every baptized believer ought to have at least prophesied at least one time. Yeah. Right. Why not? Why not? It's the spirit of the the holy spirit that brings that gift, that don't make you a prophet. That don't make you a prophetess. You're not in the office of the prophet. That's right. No. That's not what that mean. That means that the spirit of the lord moves and you yield yourself, you ought to prophesy. [01:27:36] (61 seconds)  #YieldToProphesy

And he and he said to his children in the old covenant, somebody said, well, we're a new covenant. We just heard you say that. Right. And we are. But guess what? Titheia was before the covenant. Yes. Yes. Yeah. See, we don't know why. We don't know how. We don't know when. God established tithe and offering with the people that was in the earth then.

God God fed the children of Israel for forty years Mhmm. In the wilderness. Right? Every day. Every day. He gave them manna on on on on Friday. He gave them double portion So they didn't have to work on Sunday. Their Sunday was the Saturday, which is Saturday. But now but now, soon as they got into the promised land, you read it, it's in the book of Joshua. The Bible says, soon as they cross over into the promised name. Soon as they cross over the Jordan, the very next verse said, the manna ceased. [00:48:22] (36 seconds)  #MannaProvisionEveryday

And then you won't be causing people to be turned off by the gospel. Right. We wonder why folks don't wanna be saved. Well, look what the gospel is doing. We act like the world. We look like the world. We talk like the world, so we must be the world. So what's the difference? I'm just asking a question. [01:39:59] (20 seconds)  #LiveDifferentlyForTheGospel
