Derek finishes this week discussing how our will must be submitted to God’s will—even before we know just what that is. As we commit ourselves to this, God will unfold His will and it will be our place to walk it out, as Jesus did, and thus glorify God in our lives.

Today Derek looks at how Jesus resolutely set His face to go to Jerusalem where He knew His crucifixion awaited. He knew this was His Father’s will and that suffering and death were to be the way. But through it all, redemption for mankind would be accomplished. Jesus knew what He had to do, and did not turn from it.

To illustrate Jesus’ commitment to God’s will a little further, Derek points to His willingness to set aside His own will —no matter what that may have been —and do His father’s will instead. This death to self brings life to others. Jesus always looked to the end of something, the finished work He saw set before Him.

Today we look at some events in the life of Jesus where He practically worked out His commitment to do God’s will, and the results that followed. Jesus experienced physical restoration and a proper vision of the situation in his encounter with the woman at the well. His judgment was just because He sought God’s will first and so received discernment.

This week Derek asks us if we know what God has planned as our objective for living. He looks at the supreme example of Jesus—what motivated Him to fulfill God’s plan, that which was written about Him in Scripture. Derek then shows how our motivation should be the same, to find and do God’s will for us.

Today Derek finishes this study on overcoming evil by providing you with several testimonies to add to your arsenal. The blood of Jesus sprinkled in heaven cries out for mercy for YOU. Appropriate it; apply it to your life; and never forget the blood cries out continually for you!

Jesus was crucified outside the city gates of Jerusalem. Why? So that He might sanctify the people through His blood, as the Scripture says. In today’s broadcast, Derek looks at what it means for us to be sanctified, made holy, set apart to God.

Today Derek describes that justification is “to be made righteous.” At the cross, Jesus made an exchange on our behalf. The sinless, spotless, righteous One became our sin and took our judgment. Then He gave us His own righteous, sinless perfection. It’s now just-as-if-we’d never sinned and it comes by faith in Him.

To be fully cleansed from all sin necessitates that we are walking in the light of God and having fellowship with other believers. This is not something that is done once, but it is an ongoing, day by day process that we continue to pursue.

In this second week of looking at how to overcome evil, Derek takes various passages that speak about what the blood of Jesus does for us, and turns them into personal testimonies for us. Through the blood of Jesus, we have been redeemed, our sins have been forgiven. We need to declare this boldly.
