Transcript

Alright, thank you very much. And hello again radio friends, How in the world are you, you’re doing all right? Oh, I’m fine thank you, nice of you to ask. [chuckle] You and I are looking at the first John, Chapter 5. We got started in verses four and five of that fifth chapter, “Whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world.” That was the first thing that we noticed, that it is in the very nature of the Christian faith to be victorious. What the Lord Jesus bought for you on Calvary includes victory over every test or temptation, or trial, the troubles and tribulations, the heartaches, as well as everything that may threaten you… Frustrations. Victory is there, you can live above the circumstances.

A dear man who was imprisoned for years in a communist prison was beaten regularly and abused, with unspeakable indignities that simply could not be described to an audience such as this. One day he looked out through the bars of his cell at the guard who was more beast than man, it seemed, and he said to him, “You are trying to make me hate you, but… ” he said, “I choose in Jesus name to love you instead. You cannot make me hate you, because I choose in Jesus name to love you.” The man recoiled, I am told, as though he’d been struck in the face, and went away. And then not too many days later at the midnight hour, when all was quiet in the cell block, there was the stirring of footsteps outside of that locked door.

There was the turning of a key in the lock, and that same guard came in and said, “I have not been able to get away from what you said. I too am going to trust in Jesus.” You can live above circumstances, there is no power in all the world that can crush or dominate your spirit, when Jesus the Christ of God, is in charge of your life. That is the glorious truth of the Christian faith. Your body may be hurting or ill, circumstances around you may be horribly confused or distressing. Your job situation may have gone to pieces, your family situation may be filled with heart break. There may be all sorts of circumstances around you, but Jesus makes you a victor.
