1 John 5:4-5 For whatever is born of God overcomes the

world. And this is the victory that has overcome the

world—our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world,

but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

1 Cor 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the

victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Cor 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in

triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance

of His knowledge in every place.

Rom 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than

conquerors through Him who loved us.

Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who

strengthens me.

1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have

overcome them, because He who is in you is greater

than he who is in the world.

God has created an Environment of Victory!!

1. Col 2:11 In Him you were also circumcised with

the circumcision made without hands, by putting

off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the

circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in

baptism, in which you also were raised with Him

through faith in the working of God, who raised

Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in

your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your

flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having

forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out

the handwriting of requirements that was against

us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it

out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15

Having disarmed principalities and powers, He

made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over

them in it.

a. He has made us alive together with Him.

b. He has forgiven us of our sins, set us free

from the captivity of sin, and Jude says it this

way that God is able to keep us from

stumbling.

c. New Living says it this way “He canceled the

record of the charges against us and took it

away by nailing it to the cross.”

d. He has disarmed principalities and powers.

You might say it this way “No weapon formed

against you shall prosper” or maybe you like

the way Psalms 91 says it “no evil will befall

you nor shall any plague come near your

dwelling, for the Lord has given His angels

charge over me and they keep me in all my

ways”

2. Ez. 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new

spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out

of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will

put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in

My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and

do them.

a. John 14, 15, &16 The Helper

b. 1 Cor 2 The Mind of Christ

c. Roma 8 God in YOU!!!

3. We’ve can speak in tongues - Filled w/ the Spirit

4. We’ve been made Righteous

5. We’ve been given Authority, to rule and reign in

THIS life.

6. Access to the Name of Jesus

Because He has created an “environment of victory” or

maybe a “culture of winning” He can win with players

who are:

1. Too Young - David a youth

2. Too Old - Caleb was 85

3. Weak - Gideon the weakest

4. Outnumbered - Jehosophat surrounded

5. God’s won with a liar, a drunk, and a prostitute

6. He’s won with men, and women

7. He’s won with people of different race and

nationalities.

8. He’s won with friends, God has even won with

enemies!!

God has created an environment of victory!!

He has an expectation of winning!!
