5 PRINCIPLES OF VICTORY

1 Corinthians 15:57 “But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Prayer: Father it is Your Word I ask you to anoint these lips of clay let every word that I speak be that which You have quickened in my spirit let no boy child man or woman leave here the same way they came do what man cannot do and take all the glory in Jesus name I have prayed.

The 5 Principles of Victory

Victory is not an accident...

God does not run this world on miracles. God runs this world on principles. Principles that produce the miracles.

“Anything that is not built on principles is built on assumption.”

If it is built on Principles you know it will happen.

But if it is built on assumption you think it will happen.

When you read Psalm 103:7 the Bible is saying Moses knew the ways of God, but Israel knew the acts of God. The acts of God were the miracles of God. The ways of God were the Principles that produced the miracle.

No wonder in Exodus 33:11 God spoke to Moses as a friend. Because this was a man who knew God’s ways...

Victory is not an accident, Victory is a deliberate event orchestrated illustrated by God but it is man that will actualize the Victory.

This year is the year for victory for you.

God did not create you for defeat, He created you for Victory! But you must learn the principles so you can walk into victory. From victory to victory for it is God’s will for you to live a victorious life.

Do you feel this Victory thing in you now?

4 of these 5 Principles you can find in 1 Corinthians 10:13

1 Corinthians 10:13 YLT

No temptation hath taken you—except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear it.

Principle Number 1

The Bible says there is no temptation taken you that is not common to man. In other words whatever you are facing or whatever challenge you will face this year has happened before. Understand that fact!

Nothing going on in your life is new. And if somebody went through it before and God brought them out of it, I promise you He will do it for you.

1 Kings 19:13 Elijah a man of God that killed 850 prophets was hiding in a cave!

And God said to Him what are you doing in here? (v14) Elijah said to God,” I am the only one left.” What he was saying is no other person had this kind of problem before.

But in (v18) God said to Elijah,”that’s a lie! There are 7000 men who have gone through what you are going through what you are going through now and they did not bow their knees to baal.”

In other words Elijah what you are going through somebody has gone through it before!

It’s not new and if it happened before, and God solved that problem that same God is alive today, He will do it for you.

But if you back up to (v16) something very strange happened, God said to Elijah,” He said now Elisha will take your place.” Why? because Elijah did not have the stamina for Victory.

This year nobody must take your place. (Raise you right hand: say Lord in the name of Jesus this year ........... nobody will take my place!)

Samuel took Eli’s place, David took Saul’s place, Mathias took Judas’s place...

What am I saying the Bible says it has happened before.

I’d doesn’t matter what we are facing, the matters we will face this year (As a servant of God I promise you, you will step out of trouble.)

That God will bring you out, you serve a mighty God!

It has happened before. There is nothing new about your problem. Wipe your tears

The Bible says,” many are the afflictions of the righteous BUT the Lord delivereth Him from them all!”

You are coming out of trouble. Whatever you face this year…(that devil is a liar.)

Principle Number 2

The Bible says,”God is faithful!”

January February March April May June July August September October November December GOD IS FAITHFUL!

The word faithful means: reliable, dependable, unmoveable, unshakable, consistent, constant THAT IS THE GOD YOU SERVE.

If you must live in Victory this year let it sink into your whole being GOD IS FAITHFUL!

When you read Malachi 3:6 God spoke for Himself He said,” I AM THE LORD I CHANGE NOT! THAT IS WHY YOU SON OF JACOB YOU HAVE NOT BEEN CONSUMED.”

In Hebrews 13:8 the Word of God says,”Jesus Christ is the same, the same in January the same in July the same in December… Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forver.”

Numbers 23:19 The Word of God says,”God is not a man for Him to lie nor the son of man for Him to repent did God say it, will He not do it? Has not God spoken will He not make it good.”

The God whom you serve He is here something is about to happen. (that devil is a liar he has no power over your life he cannot stop your Victory.)

GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL!…HE CANNOT LIE!

GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL! GOD IS FAITHFUL!…HE CANNOT LIE!

MY GOD IS FAITHFUL!

Principle Number 3

He will not allow you to be tempted above that which you are able.

What does that mean: It means God is aware of what you are going through. He knows.

Number 2: If God allows you to go through it, it means He has put the capacity in you to Win.

You might say I do not know what you are going through… I don’t need to… How does God release a 16 year old boy to stand before a giant?

Because He put something inside of him he just knew that David had the capacity to bring down goliath. (39.23)

God will never allow you to go through anything that He already knows will defeat you.

The fact that He allowed it is the fact He knows you will win.

It looks ugly but you will win.

Why did God put Esther in the palace? Because she was beautiful?

God put the capacity in her to win.

God already put the capacity in you to win every month from January to December.

(prophecy) that sickness will not kill you, you will win! Your church is not going under, you will win!

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God little children and have already overcome them, for greater is He that is in you...

(what is in you is greater then what is out there.)

I don’t care what the devil throws at you this year, the capacity to win is already in you.

You are not a loser, you are a winner. Victory is upon you.

This is your day, this is your hour, this is your moment.

I don’t need to know you, the capacity to win is already in you.

Joy is a product of what you know.

Philippians 3:1 (Paul says,” finally lets conclude this thing.”) He said,” Finally rejoice in the Lord.”

(v4) He said,”rejoice always and again I say rejoice.” Don’t forget Paul wrote that letter in prison...

A man in prison is writing to people outside prison and telling them to “rejoice.”

I don’t know your name but I know this God… You will not go under...

The God who you serve is a Mighty God, He put that capacity within you. You will rise above that situation. You will rise above that trouble.

You will rise you will rise you will rise, you will arise. Power is on the inside of you!

I feel chains breaking, wipe your tears.

Weeping may endure for a night. Which means you are only allowed to cry for one night. If you cry for two nights it’s illegal.

If you cry for one night, okay. Wipe your tears, because joy is here...

you can’t lose something is on the inside of you… this thing will not overcome you...

Principle Number 4

The Bible says,” wait the temptation, He has already made a way of escape.”

In other words: “Beside every visible problem is an invisible solution.”

If hell creates the problem, Heaven creates the solution.

Beside every impossibility that is visible, is an invisible possibility … He said,” wait the temptation...”

they are like twins… the problem is visible, the thing is, the solution is invisible… but it is there!

God needs to open your eyes...

Victory is not an accident.

In Genesis 21:14 Abraham gave Hagar a loaf of bread and a bottle of water for herself and her son in verse 15 the wondered in the wilderness and in a little while it was finished. In verse 16 they wept, but in verse 19 the Bible says and God opened her eyes and she saw a will of water.

are you telling me that well just appeared … no, its been there all along but she just couldn’t see it.

This year God must open your eyes… to see the well of water… its been there.

In Genesis 22:9 Abraham put Isaac on the alter in verse 10 he took his knife and was ready to stab him to death. In verse 11 God said stop! and then in verse 13 the Bible says Abraham lifted up his eyes and he saw a ram...

Are you telling me a ram just appeared…? No, its been there…the ram has been there...

This is that year God will open your eyes… to see… to see what will make you better then your equals… its been there all along...

2 Kings 5:15 the servant of Elisha woke up in the morning and saw horses and chariots surrounding them and he said alas my master what do we do we’re in trouble? And then in verse 16 Elisha said They that are with us... are more.

And he knew what the young man was thinking because in verse 17 Elisha said Lord open the eyes of this young man that he may see… and the Bible says and God opened his eyes and he saw...

Your life is the way it is not because victory has not been given to you, it is the way it is because you can’t see.

Put your hands on your eyes and prophecy on your own eyes and say God open these eyes to see.

IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME ! YOU WILL SEE !

Raise your right hand and say Lord this year i will not be blind I will see what will make me better then my equals take me higher then the highest make me greater then the greatest, O Lord open my eyes to see in Jesus name.

Principle Number 5

1 Corinthians 15:57 This verse says and thanks be to God who gives us the Victory through Jesus Christ our Lord. And if you look at the next verse it says wherefore be steadfast and unmoveable.

“Thanksgiving is the seal that seals your Victory in every battle of life.”

Philippians 4:6 The Bible says be careful/anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known to God...

1 Thessalonians 5:18 The Bible says in everything give thanks… it didn’t say for everything it said in everything...

In everything give thanks for this is the Will of God concerning you.

this is the seal, the seal, the seal...

2 Corinthians 2:14 thanks be to God who causes us to triumph always

when you look at John 11 you know the story in verse 41, Lazarus was dead. But in verse 41 Jesus lifted up His voice and gave thanks…He gave thanks.

In verse 43 He lifted up His voice again and He called Lazarus! come forth!

The voice that gives thanks is the voice that can call the dead...

Whatever is dead. Because when you look at verse 44 the Bible says and he that was dead came forth. But it began with thanks. Thanks giving...

This year is the year for Victory. But you must learn to seal it seal it with your thanks giving.

When you give thanks then you can begin to speak to dead things… dead ministries, dead jobs, dead businesses, dead relationships, Lazarus! come forth...

But that voice must first give thanks...

Thanks giving can be in words, in songs, in a dance,sometimes its in your material substance...

Thanks giving is an expression of our appreciation to whom God is, for whom God is...

You can’t die while you are giving thanks. That dream can’t die while giving thanks, that actualizing of your faith can’t die while giving thanks...

Those who knew you will not know you anymore....

THIS GOD IS TO GOOD.

Thanks giving can be in substance it can be in anything 1 Chronicles 21:1 The Bible says satan provoked David to number Israel… every time you do something wrong against God it is the devil trying to separate you from God to expose you so he can kill you.

Be careful this year, be careful what you do and in verse 7 the Bible says and God was angry, was displeased. In verse 14 the Word of God tells us that 70 thousand men died in 3 days… but in verse 18 and angel came to Davids pastor and said to him tell David to build an alter… In other words tell him to give thanks, and in verse 26 David built an alter and he put a sacrifice on it…

A sacrifice is something you normally can’t afford. something that will touch you that will move you...

And so David put the sacrifice on the alter and then he called upon God and the Word of God say and God answered by fire...

There is an answer coming… to every unanswered question, to every unanswered prayer, there is an answer coming… this is you year.

And in verse 27 God said to the angel of death, STOP!

THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS STRONG, VICTORY IS NOT AN ACCIDENT. ITS SOMETHING THAT COMES DELIBERATELY INTENTIONALLY. GOD PROVIDES FOR IT BUT MAN ACTUALIZES IT.
