I’d like to share from the Word of God with you tonight on the subject of Victorious Living. As a Christian believer, your believing dare not be based on gold. It has to be based on God. They say that man’s best friend is his dog. Man just got it backward, like man always does. No born again one conquered the adversary. It was Christ Jesus who conquered the adversary for every believer, and we were completely identified with Christ in his complete work.

Galatians 2:20 I [was] crucified [that’s the text – I was crucified] with Christ:

So when Christ died, we died with him (the believer, the one who is to be a believer, the one whom God knew from before the foundations of the world would believe the Word when they heard it) for that individual, that individual when Christ was crucified, that individual went with him.

Verse 20 continued I [was] crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.

Christ liveth in me. Ladies and gentlemen, if that is true, this has to be a victorious living reality.

Verse 20 continued Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh [in the senses category, in this world, the life I now live in the flesh] I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and who] gave himself for me.

Isn’t that fantastic? You see, the adversary, he is the keeper of the “prison house of death,” but our God blew the doors off in the resurrection. That’s right.

In Romans, chapter 4 (talking about Abraham who is the Father of all believers the Word of God) says, verse 20 of chapter 4).

Romans 4:20 - 22 He [Abraham] staggered not at the promise of … [God] through unbelief; but was strong in … [believing is the text, strong in believing], giving glory to God; 21 [he was] fully persuaded [fully persuaded – no doubt left in his mind – fully persuaded] that, what he [God] had promised [him], he [God] was [also] able … to perform. 22 And therefore [therefore because Abraham didn’t stagger at the promises of God through unbelief but was strong in believing, therefore] it was [set to his account, accounted] imputed [means accounted]

It’s like somebody going to the bank and putting money in the bank for you, set to your account. That’s this word. It was accounted

Romans 4:22b-24 to him [Abraham] for righteousness. [His believing was accounted to him for righteousness.] 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was [accounted] to him 24 But for us [the born again believers, the body of Christ] also, to whom it shall be …[accounted, set to our account], if we [do one thing] believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

You see, (the adversary being the keeper of the prison house of death) the only one that ever got up from the dead so far was the Lord Jesus Christ – that’s why I said, in the resurrection God just blew the doors off of that prison house that the adversary thinks he had everybody locked up in. God raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Romans 4:25 Who was delivered [delivered to death - Jesus Christ - delivered to death. The adversary took the advantage and had him killed. He was delivered] for our offences [our sins], … [but] was raised again … [when we were justified].

Boy oh boy, tremendous truth. Jesus Christ laid down his life because of our sins. The adversary really socked it to him, and he stayed dead until everything was completely covered, everything was completely fulfilled. That’s why three days and three nights was the legal requirement (Christ was the end of the law, the fulfillment of it), and he stayed dead. But, he was raised again when we were justified – when it was completely paid for in all the requirements of God, Jesus Christ paid for, then God raised him from the dead.
