I think that *throughout* all of *history*, *God's people* have had to *face conflicts*.
Whether it's *brother against brother* - like w~/ Cain & Abel, or *nation against nation* or even *Adam & Eve against Satan* in t Garden.
There has been a *continual conflict between* t *kingdom of God & Satan's evil kingdom*.
*God* is *rising* up t *Church* to *operate* in *His power*, & *Satan* is *warring against it* like never before.
*I*.
There has been *time after time* that when *God's people faced an enemy*, t *Lord* would *show Himself strong & deliver His people*.
*A*.
*God* has *always provided* a *way* *for* His *people* to *receive His Power & might for* t *battles* they faced.
*1*.
*God is showing Himself strong* *to those who choose* to *follow Him closely*.
*2*.
*David understood this*.
*a*.
Look at *ACTS 13:22*
*i*.
*David* had a *heart after God's* own heart.
*ii*.
We need to *be like David*.We know that *David wasn't perfect*, *but* he *truly loved t Lord & followed* after *Him*.
*b*.
In (*1KI 14:8*) It says that *David followed* t *Lord with all his heart*.
*B*.
*Not only* did *David understand* t *importance of following* after t *Lord*, but *he knew* that it was *essential to have victory*.
*1*.
*PSA 24:7-10*
*a*.
"T *LORD Mighty in Battle*."
*i*.
He *understands your battles.
& He will be mighty in your battles*.
*2*.
But there is a *prerequisite*.
These *Vs* that we just read *imply*, we *need* to be *putting* t *Lord 1st* in our lives.
*a*.
When I say *putting Him 1st*, I *don't* just *mean* *in words, but in action*.
(MATT 15:8)
i.
Following Him w~/ our whole hearts.
Praise, worship, love, service.
(Essential)
*b*.
*When* t *Lord* does *go into battle in our behalf*, He will *not* be *defeated*.
*i*.
He a *God of Victory*.
*ii*.
He *doesn't know defeat*.
No *enemy can stand* against Him.
*c*.
When a *football team* wins a game, they might say that it was a *glorious victory*.
*i*.
T word *glorious comes from* t word *glory*.
*ii*.
Well, *our Lord is, t Lord of Glory*, that means that He gets t *victory all t time*.
*iii*.
*PSA 37:25*
*C*.
?Then *why* are *so many Christians defeated*?
*1*.
There's a *number of reasons*, but *1* of t *reasons* is that they're *not* being a *channel for t Lord's glory*.
*2*.
Back in (*PSA 24:7*) It said, "Lift up your heads, O ye gates & t King of glory shall come in."
*a*.
When you lift up your head to *see Him & His glory, & to follow after Him*, you *become* a *door for His glory* to come in.
(Moses)
*i*.
& *that means victory* when Satan brings His attacks against you.
*ii*.
(*HEB 12:2*) Says, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of /{our}/ faith."
*3*.
But *there are* those *times* that we do *get* our *eyes off of Jesus*.
We get so *consumed w~/ t attacks* of t enemy, *we forget to "Lift up our heads*."
*a*.
*Peter went thru t same thing* when he *walked on* t *water*.
*i*.
We could *talk about what Peter did*, but it does us *more good to look at it*.
*4*.
*MATT 14:22-31*
*a*.
In (*V 30*) it says that *Peter saw t wind boisterous &* that he *was afraid*.
(Greek "*phobeo*" where we get "*phobia*")
*i*.
*Peter got* his *eyes off of Jesus* *& on t storm*, *then fear came*."
*ii*.
When you get your *eyes off of Jesus* your *opening t door to fear*.
& when your *in fear your doubting* t Lord & His Word.
*b*.
Look at *V 31* again.
*i*.
In (*V 30*) it says that "Peter cried, saying, *Lord, save me*."
*ii*.
*Peter* *got* his *eyes back on t Lord*.
*iii*.
*If* you've got your *eyes off of t Lord* & you're beginning to sink or being overcome, *turn your eyes back to Jesus & he will not let you drown*.
*II*.
*Too often*, we are trying to *do every thing in our selves*, We've got to *let go & let God*.
Let Him be mighty in our lives.
*A*.
Sure we need to *do all we can*, but *we need our Lord involved to have victory, VICTORY in JESUS*.
*1*.
*If we don't learn to trust in t Lord* to always make t difference in our lives, *there will come a time* that we're *up against a wall* & *nowhere to turn*.
*2*.
But I'll tell you this, *If* you *keep* your *eyes on t Lord*, t *Lord will fight for you*.
*a*.
*EXO 14:13-14*
*b*.
*Things seemed hopeless*, there *back's* were *up against a wall* w~/ *no place to turn*.
*i*.
Look at what God said in *V 16*.
*ii*.
We *know* t rest of t *story*...
*B*.*Throughout*
