"Is the Enemy Any Less Defeated Because You Had to Crawl?" Jebus Victories are dirty, cold and dark. Jebus Victories are humbling. Jebus Victories are not the ones we like to brag about. Yet, why should we complain if the Lord strengthens us to climb through the gutter to obtain victory?

Signs will not only follow the Believer but they will also follow the Unbeliever. The Apostle Paul lists those signs in his Epistle to the Galatians and we refer to them today as “The Works of the Flesh”. There are 17 works of the flesh listed in Galatians and all of these are clear signs of a person living a life for themselves and NOT Christ.

Victory is not based on how you feel or the situation around you. Victory is in Christ our Lord. Paul & Silas sang and gave praises unto God after being beaten and imprisoned proving to the jailer and all the other inmates that despite their circumstance they were still free.

We were created with the capacity to love by a loving God. Love is the one attribute that grows by sharing with others. You can give all of your love away and then when you look you will have more than you gave. Love multiplies with giving.

We are a Body, we need one another. Just as surely as my hand cannot function separated from the rest of my body, an individual Christian will not be able to function long without an attachment to the Body. Anyone separated too long from the Body risks decay and eventual death. The analogy of the Body leaves no other option. What is true of the natural is true of the spiritual.

God set the landmarks for the Church and no one has the right to move them.

Have you ever wondered why everything seems to be so hard for you? This message will reveal to you that our victories do not always come easily but they are worth the struggle. This is a message meant to encourage the Church.
