YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

Team:

Have you ever Had Victory over Sin? When you do it is Incredible! There is nothing like conquering the Flesh!

Have you ever said "No?"

Maybe your friends want you to smoke pot or do some recreational drugs.

Can you say "No?"

Maybe you are in a situation where you are being tempted to have sex outside of marriage.

Can you say "No?"

Maybe it is a re-occurring sin in our lives.
Something that keeps tripping us up over and over again.

Have you ever said "No?"

The Flesh is tough to beat.
The Bible says we battle three things:

The Flesh
The World
The Devil

How do we say "No?"

(Read Eph 6 Put on The Full Armor of God!)

So Where do we start?

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

In John 3 there was a very successful Pastor that came to Jesus at night.

Why did he come at night? Because during the day he was busy?

Probably because he was embarrassed to be seen talking to Jesus in the day time.

Have we ever been embarrassed to be seen with Jesus or His people?

You see Nic had a lot of questions.

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

Nic wanted to know how to get Eternal Life and how to have Victory over sin.

All of us have questions in life.

Why am I Here?

What does the Future hold?

Is there Life after Death?

Did I Evolve or was I Created?

What is my Purpose in Life?

Nic had all of these questions and one more:

"How do I Inherit Eternal Life?"

Jesus came back with a question: "How are you a Pastor of a Large Church and don't know these things?" Jesus wasn't ridiculing him He just wanted Nic to think about it.

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

Sometimes we are all caught off-guard. We think we know everything we need to know about life but something is missing. We have a deep deep void and emptiness in our lives.

"There must be more!"

"Why do I feel so dull?"

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

Nic was putting on an Act during the day but seeking the right answers to his questions at night. Nic wanted to be the best Pastor he could be so he did everything he could do to better himself.

We are the same way aren't we? We want to be the best at what we do don't we? We know we are doing all we can do but there is "A Little Bit More!"

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

People kept asking Nic how to have Eternal Life? Nic told them what everybody else said, "you have to follow the Law and live a perfect life."

In other words: You always have to give "A Little Bit More!"

Nic and his people were getting discouraged and losing the daily battles. Nic took this to heart because Nic is a Winner. Nic is a Coach and his Team was losing. But more than anything Nic didn't have the Answer when people asked.

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

Nic knew the "Little Bit More" theory wasn't working.

Nic knew if he found the right formula his Team would Win!

HOW CAN I HAVE VICTORY OVER SIN?

What was the Answer Jesus gave?

Jesus said, "You must be Born Again!"

"Nic you are trying hard and I appreciate it but there is more.

Not your "Little Bit More" but Mine!

"Nic there is more that only I can give. You must Transition into a New Dimension and Start Over!"

YOU MUST HAVE A TRANSFORMATION!
"You must nail your old life to the Cross and Start a New Life."

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

The same is True for us. We need to Start Over! The Word say's, "if any man be in Christ he has a new beginning!"

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

Maybe it is your own life. Maybe you are a parent, child, husband, wife and you have given all you can give but it isn't enough.

JESUS HAS WHAT WE CAN'T GIVE!

Jesus said this is how you can start over and be Born Again:

"For God so Loved the World that He Gave Jesus that whoever Believes in Him would not Perish and have Everlasting Life!" John 3:16

Are you Perishing like Nic?

Are your Dreams Perishing because of a Sin or Addiction that has a hold on you?

Have you come to the end of yourself?

God sent Jesus to you! Go meet with Him at Night and soon enough your life will be Transformed to Walk with Him in the Day.
Enoch walked with God!

Noah Walked with God!

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

Nic was Amazed and Encouraged!

In the Beginning Nic came by Night! In the End He came by Day and was at the foot of the Cross when Jesus died.

Nic was Transformed and Renewed!

Jesus said, "Seek and Ye Shall Find!" Nic sought and Nic Found!

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

Nic was no longer Ashamed!

Nic didn't worry what others thought!

Nic had a New Life!

Nic had a New Confidence!

Why?

BECAUSE NIC WAS BORN AGAIN!

YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY!

Just Go! Leave Nothing Behind!
