God will always give you the victory if

you cry out to Him, and especially if He gets the

glory. That's our message. The text is

taken from 1 Corinthians15:51-58. We're living in very difficult times but are they the most difficult times

that the earth has ever seen? The short

answer is no, many have lived through

times far more difficult than what we

are experiencing today. For instance,

consider the Holocaust and the days of

World War I and World War II. Consider

the brutal years of slavery in America

for black people and yes you can imagine

that the days of the plagues were far

more difficult than our today.

You can also think about the great

Jewish revolt of 70 AD, in which 1.1

million mostly Jews were killed when the

Roman army crushed a Jewish rebellion

against Roman rule. Imagine how difficult it was for

those who went through those times.

According to scripture the times we now

live in will become even more

challenging in the years of the

tribulation looming ahead of us.

That will for sure be the worst time on

earth ever, but thanks be to God who

gives us the victory through our Lord

Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul wrote this verse

to prepare believers for the day of

death and for the day of the gathering,

but he's also telling us about the

awesome victory that the Lord God gives

us day by day, every day. Live victoriously my friend.

Father we thank you for this word, bless

it as it goes forth. Bless the listener

to the message in the name of Jesus and

enlighten them Father we pray in Jesus

name. And we pray that some will come to

know Jesus Christ as Lord and

Savior, amen. God surely gives us the

victory but there are some whose healing

or deliverance has been held back. Their

victory has been delayed because they've

refused to stop walking in sin.

There are others who've been healed and

then have gone back to their vomit and

as a result they've suffered a

relapse. I remember the warning Jesus

gave to the man from the pool at

Bethesda who had been sick for 38 years.

Later the Lord saw him in the temple and

told him to stop sinning or he will soon

face something far worse, John

5:14. If we keep sinning there's no glory

for God in our healing and perhaps this

is why something worse happens to many.

The question is what does this victory

which the Lord says He will give to us

look like? Can you see it? Can you imagine

it? And does it mean that you'll be

healed of cancer and it will never

revisit you? Does it mean that you will

no longer have to continue

dialysis? That you can pull back and

never go to another treatment? Does it mean that your loved one who lies dead before you will rise

from that spot in a few moments and will

not have to be placed in the city

morgue? Does it mean that if you are in

prison you will be set free by the end

of the week or by the very latest at the

end of the year? Does it mean that your

loved one who's been suffering from

dementia and Alzheimer's will be

restored to their former glory in a few

weeks, once again having a sound mind and

the peace that surpasses all

understanding? Not necessarily. Even though God can do and indeed does perform all these miracles

be assured my friend there is an

obtainable victory for God's faithful

somewhere in all of these situations

simply because God has promised it. When

Jesus Christ heard about Lazarus death,

He said, "This sickness is not unto death

but for the glory of God that the Son of

God might be glorified thereby," John 11:4.

In other words, God is going to give

Lazarus a victory here so that He may be

glorified and what is more Lazarus will

have nothing to do with this

victory. He was given this victory simply

that others may see and

believe and God would be

glorified. And there was yet another

similar victory given for the glory of

God. One day Jesus passed by and saw a

man who had been blind from birth and

His disciples asked whether the man had

sinned or whether his parents had sinned

causing him to be born blind. Jesus

answered saying "It was neither that

this man sinned nor his parents but it

was so that the works of God might be

displayed in him."

This happened so that God would be

glorified wherever this man went. Now

let's get back to Lazarus, four days after he died Jesus

arrived and Martha came out and said to

him, "Lord if you'd been here my brother

would not have died but I know that even

now whatsoever you will ask God will

give it to you." And Jesus said to her

"Your brother will rise again." Martha

then said, "I know that he shall rise

again in the resurrection at the last

day." And then Jesus said, "I am the

resurrection and the life, he who

believes in Me though he were dead yet

shall he live and whosoever lives and

believes in me shall never

die." After shedding a few tears Himself

He called Lazarus forth and the father

was glorified. Today in our part of the world it does

not appear that we are seeing many

miraculous healings in dramatic ways, yet

be assured that God is quietly healing

many day after day. Many believers in Christ continue

experiencing healings in their bodies

and it is important for the one who is

seeking the victory to understand what

will be a victory for the Lord in his

particular situation. And this will help

tremendously if we consider what we can

do so that God can receive glory from

our personal health dilemma, because the victory that He's seeking, that we are seeking must glorify

God. There's a story about a man who had

terminal cancer and the doctors had

given him but a short time to

live, meanwhile his church building was

badly in need of repairs. This man

decided that he was going to fix it with

the little strength that he had

left. He could not even start it right

away because of his health, but when he

gained some strength he began working on

the building bit by bit, piece by piece.

In a short while he finished the job and

guess what, God healed him of his illness

and was glorified in him. It is important

for us to be ready to exercise our faith.

We need to have a picture of God being

glorified by our healing, by our

deliverance. In some situations, through

revelation from God believers may know

what the will of God is for

their specific situation. Whatever they are being faced with at that time. For instance in Matthew 9:29,

Jesus healed two blind men and first He

asked them, "Do you believe that I'm able

to do this?" They both said "Yes." Then

He touched their eyes and said,

"According to your faith let it be to

you." Yet strangely He told them to tell

no one about it, but they went everywhere

in that country telling people about it

anyway because God must be

glorified. They could not keep quiet

about it. God has faithfully promised to

give us the victory and there are many

ways that He tells us this.

For instance, in Psalm 60 and 12, He says,

"Through God, we will do valiantly for it

is He who shall tread down our

enemies." This word doing valiantly

means prevailing with courage, prevailing

with victory. Believe it my friend, through God

we will be given the victory and we will

overcome the enemy. Then in 2nd Corinthians 2:14, the Apostle Paul tells us that God uses us to spread

the knowledge of Him throughout the

earth. We are His envoys. Here's what the word

says, 'Now thanks be to God who always

leads us in triumph in Christ and

through us diffuses the fragrance of His

knowledge in every place.'

So this means that He causes us to gain

the victory so that we can spread the

sweet fragrance of His love, the sweet

fragrance of His power, of His

mercy and the wonderful fragrance of His

glory, that all may know

Him. Then in 1 John 5:4, we are told that

believers in Christ gain the victory

over the world.

The apostle Paul wrote that whoever has

been born of God overcomes the world and

this is the victory that has overcome

the world, our faith. It is therefore our faith that

gives us the victory, because our faith

causes us to be rooted and grounded in

Christ Jesus our Lord when we are born

of the Father, and it is our faith that

makes us overcomers.

And then Romans 8:37 says "Yet in all

these things we are more than conquerors

through Him who loved us." Yes friend

the evidence is there, the people of God

are a victorious people of an

extraordinary nature no matter how bad

it looks for them. Wait for Him and you

will see. There are many treacherous

waters in our lives and we must navigate

all of them, our very life depends upon

it. Hang in there, be encouraged, God will

give you sweet success over the enemy. He

will cause you to prevail time and time

again, but do not relax your guard, do not

lose your focus, do not take your eyes

off the road. Be ever vigilant especially

after a victory.

Many have died and gone to the grave and

have not received their healing. What

about them? Here's a personal

testimony. My mother died of cancer in

2008. She went into a coma three times

before she died and when she came out of

the coma I asked her, "Mom where did you

go?" She said, "I do not know son but it

was the most beautiful place I've ever

seen."

And then one day 3 o'clock on the morning of

her death she was in her room walking

around with her hands raised praising

the Lord. I came in and asked what happened?

The Lord had told her that she was going

to be with him that very same

day. She went to be with the Lord at 5

p.m that very same day. She was not

healed physically here on earth yet she

was victorious and God was

glorified. When Christ cried out at the

resurrection He said, "It is finished." A

great victory had been wrought for all

mankind for you and for I. The great

highway to forgiveness of sins was

opened wide for the first time in the

history of the world. The streets of this

highway are not paved with gold but are

paved with the blood of Jesus Christ on

every square inch. It is a glorious

thorough affair, and there's an endless

stream of stories of the victories won

by the saints of God over Satan and the

world on every inch of that glorious

highway leading to heaven. At His resurrection Christ

triumphed over sin and death and showed

us how we can also obtain the

victory. Whoever is born of the father

overcomes the world and this is the

victory that has overcome the world even

our faith. May God increase your faith

and bless you eternally, and may he be

glorified in your life. God bless and

keep you in Jesus mighty name,

amen. You've been listening to this

message and perhaps you do not know

Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Well we

want to give you an opportunity to make

this commitment. In these troubling times

we need to be close to the cross of

Christ. Please say this prayer after me

and the Lord will give you the victory.

Father I am a sinner and I'm sorry for all my

sins. Dear Lord I crave your

forgiveness, I need your

forgiveness. Thank you Lord for your

mercy. Today I invite Jesus Christ into

my heart. Dear Lord Jesus, please make my heart your home. I give you the key to my heart because I

now belong to you forever. You have my permission to keep the key. Please give me the Holy Spirit to

lead me into all truth. Thank you Lord for saving my soul,

amen. The Lord bless you my friend.

Welcome to the kingdom of the most high

God. There are many of us here awaiting

the return of Jesus Christ. In the

meantime we encourage you to become

water baptized as quickly as possible, let

your pastor know that you'd like to be

baptized. Begin reading the word of God

every day. Begin in the book of John and

then go to Matthew Mark and

Luke, reading audibly as often as

possible because faith comes by hearing

the word of God. Pray daily, attend at

your local church and one glad morning

the Savior will come and receive us all

unto Himself and we shall be forever

with the Lord. God bless and keep you in

Jesus mighty name, amen.
