<div class="SSN_title">"OUR PLACE OF VICTORY."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. WE ARE IN A WAR.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Our enemy is one of the most powerful of all God's created beings.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. As a created being, not an opposite of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He is opposed to God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. This is a serious error in Mormon theology as they view Jesus and Lucifer as brothers.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. As brothers they would be opposites.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. It could never be said of Satan, "In the beginning was the devil and the devil was with God and the devil was God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">3. It could never be said of Lucifer, "That which was in the beginning with God and though it not robbery to be equal with God". Trying to be equal with God was the cause of his fall.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. There is an infinity of difference between Jesus and Satan.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Our enemy is on the prowl.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "Your adversary, the devil goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Jesus said to Peter, "Satan has desired to sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you." Imagine Jesus saying, "I have prayed for you."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. You as a child of God are one of his prime targets.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Being battle-wise, he attacks you at your weakest point, your flesh.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. He seeks to arouse your fleshly lusts.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. He desires to draw you from the life in the spirit to a life in the flesh.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He is relentless in his attacks.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. OUR ENEMY IS NOT INVINCIBLE.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Sometimes when you have been defeated, so often you despair of ever being victorious.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Michael and his angels fought against him and cast him out of heaven.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. How was Michael victorious over him? On another dispute between the two over the body of Moses, Michael said, "The Lord rebuke thee."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He came against him in the name and the strength of the Lord.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Verse 11, "They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. My testimony is "I am crucified with Christ."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. I am therefore a debtor, not to my flesh.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. "They loved not their lives to the death."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. We must reckon our old nature to be crucified dead with Christ.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. This is the only place where he can attack us, for he has been defeated.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">3. He tries through your flesh to get to your spirit.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Satan was thoroughly defeated by Jesus. <a onClick="return mV('Col',2,14);">Col. 2:14</a>,<a onClick="return mV('Col',2,15);">15</a>.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The cross of Jesus is the place of victory.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. There, He spoiled the principalities and powers. Life's redeeming work is done, allelujah. Fought the fight, the battle won, allelujah.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The problem many have is trying to fight the superior enemy in their own strength with carnal weapons.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. "I am determined," "I promise," "I vow."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. "Positive thinking" Moral Rearmament Movement of thirties. "Every day and in every way the world is getting better and better and better."</div>
