Victory That Overcomes - with Pastor Angie Krulcik

Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast

from St. Augustine, FL.

Now enjoy this message. The spirit of faith you need to

you need to connect this morning and grab hold of the spirit of

faith. Because it doesn't matter if

you're in church. It doesn't matter if you're

serving. It doesn't matter if you read

your Bible every day, If you're not doing it and you're not

getting hooked up in the in the spirit of faith, then you're not

getting it and the devil's defeating you.

And we need to grab hold of this spirit of faith because it's

something that you catch by doing it every day, by doing it,

not just going through the motions.

But I'm talking about no matter what hits you in life that you

can say ha ha ha, I'm not moved by that.

So let me not get ahead of myself and let me go ahead and

jump into this. So believe God with me.

And the way you hear is super important because the Bible says

take heed how you hear. And why is it that some people

can sit here and not get a thing and walk out just as locked up

as they were when they came in? And one person can walk out of

here free indeed, and get more revelation.

Why does that happen? It's how you hear.

And so you got to hook up with the spirit of faith, hook up

with the Holy Ghost and say I'm going to draw, I'm going to suck

everything out of this 50 year old.

I don't care. 50 year young suck, suck me dry.

Just just say I'm going to get everything I can get this

morning from the word of God. Amen.

All right, First Corinthians Chapter 9, verses 24 through 27

1 Corinthians 9:24–27

says, do you not know that in a race, all the runners run, They

all run. OK, so we're all running.

We're all trucking. I'm not the fastest runner, but

we're all running and everybody that runs doesn't get the prize,

doesn't get it. Why don't they get it?

Because a lot of them stop running.

A lot of them, You know the song that we were just singing said

that I will, I will maintain, I will do this.

I will believe you. I will trust you.

I will, I will, I will. You know pastors been talking

about this is your choice. God is not in control, right.

This is our decision every day. The the the Lord says he sets

before you. Life and death every day.

Every day today I've said before you life and death, choose life

so that you can live and prosper and be in health and and do

everything that he's called you to do.

Every day you make that choice. So it's so all the runners are

running, but it says run that you may obtain it, run that you

will actually win the prize, Run that that you will take

possession of the prize that you will conquer.

And we're going to talk a little bit about conquering today, but

I want to read to you in the Amplified.

It says in First Corinthians, I do not flail around.

I do not flail around like one beating the air, just

shadowboxing. You know, I'm concerned that

some of us are just shadowboxing a little bit, that we're

fighting the wrong fight, that we're fighting things in the

natural, we're fighting off the symptoms, we're fighting off the

bills, we're fighting off our emotions, we're fighting all

those things, but we're not actually living and getting it

and living in the spirit of faith.

You got to quit fighting this. Same fight.

You got to quit thinking. I got.

I'm. I'm healed.

I'm healed of the Lord. I got to get these symptoms off

of me. I got to.

You're you're fighting the wrong fight.

You got to know that you know and get it on the inside and

know that God is your healer. God's your Redeemer.

God's the one that sets you free.

Did he say it? Will he not do it?

Is he not faithful? You got to get everything within

you. It's got to be in your

bloodstream. It's got to be in you that you

know that you know that he is able to perform.

He is able to do that. So, So what are we fighting?

What are we conquering? What is this good fight of faith

that we're in? The Bible says fight the good,

fight. Fight this good.

Fight of faith. No more Shadowbox.

Yeah, I want you to walk out of here today and say I'm not going

to Shadowbox anymore. No more shadow boxing.

I'm not going to be hitting the air.

I'm not going to be flailing, flailing around, just swinging

at stuff. Just just trying to get that off

of me. And you know you're not trying

to get anything from God. Quit trying to get healed.

Quit trying to get faith. Quit trying to get provision.

Quit trying to get that stuff. You don't have to try to get

anything. You already got it.

And when you realize you already got it, then you can just kind

of take a step back and sit in your little seat next to Jesus

where the Bible says that you're supposed to be seated and you

don't have to worry about a thing.

You can just sit there. And when those, when those fiery

darts come, you can say that's under my feet.

I know I've got it. I'm not waiting to see the

manifestation. I'm not waiting for the report

from the Lord, from the doctor. I know the report of the Lord.

I'm not waiting on the doctor's report.

You got to get it and know that you got it.

And my prayer for you early this morning and last night is that

we would capture this spirit of faith, that we would get this

spirit of faith. The Bible talks about different

spirits, you know? And I'm not talking about

familiar spirits. I'm not talking about evil

spirits. I'm talking about your spirit,

OK? Our year is about, is about

having a what kind of spirit? A reigning spirit.

A strong spirit, a powerful spirit, a conquering spirit, a

spirit that overcomes. The Bible talks about a wounded

spirit. The Bible talks about a broken

spirit. The Bible talks about a weak

spirit. We can faith.

We can spirit broken in spirit. How do we know?

How do you know that you have a strong spirit.

And I'm going to give you some indicators today that you know

that I'm strong in my faith, that I know that I'm strong in

my spirit. Let's get the prize.

Let's don't just run aimlessly today.

Let's get the prize. But let's not just get the

prize. Let's keep the prize.

Let's get the prize every day of our lives, all the time.

Because I can honestly say in 50 years, I don't know where I

would be if it wasn't for him. He has been so faithful and so

good to take us from faith to faith and from glory to glory,

just by doing the Word. And so I can look at his

faithfulness on my life, on my husband's life, my family, our

church, and go, wow, God's been so good.

It's not anything that we did, but it's what he did because we

obeyed the word of God, because we just were doers.

When everything looked like it wasn't happening, things weren't

going through. We said, God, you're good,

you're faithful, We trust you will not be moved.

And you got to learn to live your life like that.

You got to learn to laugh. We had a a moment.

They took me out of town for my birthday and and my husband, I

went out in Orlando. I would not want to live in

Orlando. At all.

And the traffic is horrible and you think it's about here.

It's so much worse there. And so we went out for what we

thought was going to be a quick. We left the girls at the hotel.

We were going to go out for a quick.

Run to the store and run get some ice cream and you know do a

couple of things and so we go out and the traffic was horrible

and and one thing after another I spilled the shake in the car

and and it was just one one little furry dart after another

and and and we got in our hotel and and had a moment at the

elevator and I just said I just started laughing just first of

all by faith and then just started laughing and then we

were laughing and we were laughing in the elevator because

you can't be moved by that kind of stuff.

Get your emotions and your little stuff all in A twist and

you got to learn to not let it quit.

Be quick about it. Be quick about not letting stuff

get to you, Be quick about not living in the scene realm.

Be quick about not yielding to your emotions because they

shouldn't be sitting on the throne anyway.

So let's talk about indicators that you have a strong spirit,

that you have a reigning spirit, Ways that you can know that you

have that this spirit of faith, number one, that you're fervent

in spirit. You're fervent in spirit.

Romans chapter 12 verse 11 says be diligent and be fervent in

Romans 12:11

spirit serving the Lord. What does that mean?

What is fervent in spirit mean? It means hot like white hot like

built up like on fire that you have an on fire spirit.

You know what it makes me think of?

It makes me think of when revelation says and all the

angels constantly, day and night say holy, holy, holy is the Lord

God Almighty. And you know, I believe when we

all are together in that day that there's going to be such a

trickle effect when somebody says holy, it's just going to

holy. Glory to God.

Like you can't contain it. It's it's you're hot in your

spirit. We should be living that way

right now. Where where when things are

happening in the spirit it's a quick glory to God that that we

don't just look and go what are they doing, what's happening in

them. But then we believe that God is

faithful. Do we want to start seeing more

gifts to the spirit and healings happening and and things

changing in people's life? Well, you better get fervent in

your spirit. You better get hot on the

inside. And the way that you do that is

by building yourself up in your most holy faith.

I know Pastor Marcy ministered on ways that you can have a

reigning spirit and a strong spirit.

You've got to build yourself up in your most holy faith by

praying in the Holy Ghost. You got to be in the Word, but

you got to pray in the Spirit, and it's not.

When you feel like it and it doesn't matter what your

circumstances are saying, what your emotions are saying.

You just everywhere you are. And I'm not talking about being

weird and I'm not talking about going out in public and acting

all spiritual. There's a big, big difference.

And someone who wants to be religious and act like they're

spiritual and someone who's really got it on the inside.

And you know the difference. You know the difference when

people are really living it and when people are just putting on

a show. And Jesus was super clear with

those religious leaders who did everything according to the law

perfectly. He said y'all are dead man's

bones. You're whitewashed tombs, you're

hypocrites. And he said, let's let your let

my righteousness exceed that of those guys.

Because even though outwardly they did everything perfectly,

inwardly they weren't right. And so you know the Scripture

says you know your. Heart.

You know where you're at, and I I would admonish you today.

If you don't know where you're at in faith and you know that

you're trying to get stuff and you're laboring for it, then get

yourself in a position of faith by reading the Word and praying

in the Holy Ghost and meditating on whatever that area is that

you're believing him for. So Revelation Chapter 3 verses

Revelation 3:15

15 and 16. Says I know your works, that

you're neither hot nor cold. I would wish that you were hot

or cold. So then, because you are

lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my

mouth. Some of us are lukewarm and

we're not hot. And you need to be hot in your

spirit. And I'm going to tell you that

when I go through these indicators, you're going to know

if you're fervent. You're going to know if you're

hot. You're going to know if you're

built up in the spirit. Because I can look at some of

your faces and tell you maybe not.

You've got to be the one that says I'm getting everything that

I can get today. God, Holy Ghost, give it to me.

Everything that I can get. I receive it.

Anything you want to say to me, I hear it.

My heart is open. My the eyes of my understanding

are open. You've got to be in that

posture. Or are you just here so that you

can check a box? Are you just here so that you

can say I did my duty and I feel pretty good about myself Now, we

don't like to think of ourselves that way.

We don't like to think. But honestly, sometimes we do

appease our conscience by coming to church, by doing these works

in our own flesh, and God never wanted you to do that.

You should be here because you love Him and you trust him, and

you want to be part of a body that he's called you to.

That's why you should be here. You should read the word of God

because you love him and you trust him and you want to get

everything you can get from Him. You should pray in the Holy

Ghost because you love the Holy Ghost and you want to hear from

him and you want him to reveal things to you, not so that you

can just. I feel good about myself today.

Now, you know, if that's what you're doing and it's not that

we make, it's not that we wake up and go, I'm going to actually

check my boxes. But you know, in your

conscience, if you just feel a little bit better because you

did something, you just feel a little bit stronger because you.

Checked off your boxes on your Bible reading plan?

Where's your heart at? What's your motive?

Because in Daniel it says those that truly know God, he will do

great exploits through those people and we want to really

know him, really love him, really trust him.

OK, so hot fervent built up. That should be your first

response no matter what happens. Like the angels that we say holy

glory, thank you father. I'm not moved.

When when stuff hits you, what is your first response?

What is your default page set on?

What do you do when a trial comes?

Is your first response to go, Oh my God, what am I going to do?

How are we going to handle this? If that.

If it is, you got to change it. I'm tell you this is faith.

This is not fake. This is not putting on a show.

This is how you do it. This is how we do it.

This is how you do it. This is how you live it.

You want to live it or not. You can't be worried about what

people think when stuff comes at you.

You got to get down deep and say, God, I believe you.

I'm not going to be moved. Ha ha ha.

I'm not moved by this situation. You're my provider.

You're my healer. You're my Redeemer.

You're the one that sets me free.

I'm not going to be moved. You got to be that confident.

You got to have it in you where nothing can move you off.

Of that. God so good.

He's so faithful. The ministry of the Holy Ghost.

Faith is a spiritual thing. This is not something that

you're that you're doing in the scene out here.

You're not trying to get it. Faith is in your spirit.

This spirit of faith is what you've got to catch.

Second Corinthians chapter 3. I am surely yelling today and

2 Corinthians 3 · chapter mention

spitting verse 7. But if the Ministry of Death,

written and engraved on stones, was glorious, what is that

talking about? The law, the 10 commandments?

If the Ministry of Death, written and engraved on stones,

was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not

look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of

his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the

Ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?

If that was glorious, if they couldn't even look at Moses's

face, can people look at your face?

I'm just saying. How much more glorious should

this Ministry of the Holy Ghost be in your everyday life?

Not when you're here. Not that I can look at you right

now and go. The anointing's on you, and we

can all jump in it here. This is easy when we all add our

measure of faith here. Awesome things can happen.

Awesome things can happen. But what are you doing out

there? What are you doing in your

everyday personal life? This is where the rubber meets

the road. This is where you're either

living in faith or you living in doubt and you can't think that

you can just come up in here and just get faith.

Like like Saul did every time David played and he got peace

and he got relief and he felt so much better.

And then and then David left and he was no different and he was

not changed. We have to ask ourselves, is

that us? Do I is this is this Is nothing

wrong for you longing to come to church and be in this

atmosphere, but do you walk out of here and do it?

Do you walk out of here and live it?

Do you walk out of here and you actually are different.

You actually are free. You actually can do a dance in

your house. You actually can say glory to

God in the shower wherever you are, that you can actually

praise him and thank him no matter what you're going

through. Just internal questions to ask

verse. 12 Therefore, this ministry of the Spirit we're

talking about, you know, this is the dispensation of the Holy

Ghost. This is his time.

This is his time for you. And we have it way, way greater

than the Old Testament prophets and priests and kings way

greater, because we have Him within us and upon.

Us. They had the Holy Ghost, the

Spirit of God, come upon them at certain times.

We have a minute. How much more glorious should

our everyday lives be? Should we be at home wrangling,

flailing in our mind, tossing and turning all the time, double

minded and everything we do, tossed to and fro all the time?

At home, when you're in your bed at night, anxious thoughts are

coming. The fiery darts of the evil one

are coming. The Bible says be strong in the

Lord and in the power of his might.

In the spirit of faith, you got to catch this spirit of faith

and get it. You ought to leave out of here

today and go, oh Lord Jesus, I want to walk in this spirit of

faith where I know that I know that I've got it and I'm living

it, and I can do it on my bed. I can do it in the shower.

I could do it in my car. I can do it everywhere I'm at,

not. Just right here, verse 12.

Therefore, since we have such hope of this ministry of the

Spirit, we use great boldness of speech.

Now jump down to verse 17. It says.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is,

there's liberty. But we all, with unveiled face,

beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being

transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by

the Spirit of the Lord. So it says, because of this

ministry of the Spirit, we have great should have great boldness

of speech. And if you understand and we'll

and I'll talk about righteousness here in a minute.

If you understand who you are in Christ, then you should be able

to boldly approach the throne of God at any time, any day,

anywhere, all the time, and use great boldness of speech.

Meaning, I can say God. You said God.

This is what you said. You know the devil is always

trying to get you to reason in your mind and always trying to

keep you in doubt and guilt and condemnation.

You got to get free. The Bible says you either live

in this ministry of righteousness or you live in the

ministry of condemnation. One of the two, Where are you?

You're not straddling the fence, I promise.

You're living in the ministry of righteousness or the ministry of

of condemnation. You're in one or one or the

other. And if you're living in this

ministry of righteousness, the Bible says the righteous are as

bold as a lion. So that means I can use great

boldness of speech. I can approach the throne of God

and I I can say, Father, you're my healer God.

This is what you said. And I'll not be moved by snot

coming out my nose. I'll not be moved by how I feel.

You can't be moved by any of that God.

You said you meet all my needs according to your glorious

riches in Christ Jesus. Thank you, Lord.

Every bill is paid. Now this this is not kooky

stuff. This is not where I'm saying

that don't balance your checkbook and don't pay your

bills and don't work a job and say, God, you meet all my needs.

It doesn't work like that. Just so you know, you got to

actually really do it. You got to actually know that

the state of your flocks take care of your stuff.

Be responsible. Get a job.

Do the word actually be? Mature believers.

Right. And then when you are, you can

stand boldly before God and say God.

This is what you said, and I believe it, you know, he said.

Keep me in my in remembrance of my.

Word. It's not because he forgot it,

it's because he's saying just say it.

Just say it. Just speak it out.

By faith, he's the eyes of the Lord are roaming to and fro,

looking, looking for someone whose heart is right, someone

who's living this spirit of faith so that he can do great

and awesome things, Ephesians says he wants to show.

Out through you. He wants to do great and mighty

things through each and every one of us.

Verse 17. I just read it.

Where the spirit of the Lord is, There's liberty, and with

unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord.

We're being transformed. If you want to get this spirit

of faith, you got to actually, day by day go from glory to

glory and faith. By faith you got to do it every

day. You got to live this same day

and night, day and night, night and day all the time.

Romans chapter 4 Let's talk about Abraham for just a minute.

Romans 4 · chapter mention

Romans chapter 4, verses 19 through 21.

Romans 4:19–21

Fervent in spirit, capturing the spirit of faith, verse 19 says

Listen to Abraham and not being weak in faith.

He did not consider, He did not consider.

Let me say it again. He did not consider his own body

already dead since he was about 100 years old and the deadness

of Sarah's womb. He did not waver at the promise

of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving

glory to God and being fully convinced that what he had

promised God was also able to. Perform He did not reason, he

did not consider, he did not hesitate, he did not doubt.

Do you think any kind of doubt tried to come to his mind?

And he didn't even have the Holy Ghost within him.

He was 100 years old. And it says not being weak if he

cannot be weak. In faith, we should not be weak.

In faith, we should be strong in faith, reigning in our spirit.

Man strengthened by the Holy Ghost he did not consider.

Sometimes we consider too much. We consider our our situation,

our our circumstances, our job, our relationships.

We consider those things. We take all those things into

account. We reason in our mind why, Why

this is happening to me, why I I'm going through this.

This is such a hard season, so it will be for you.

It'll be that. If that's what you believe.

Do not consider you got to get, you know Brother Hagan got to

such a place where he said, you know, I don't even sometimes

realize they even have a body now I'm not there yet but but we

got to get to that place where we realize I'm I'm thinking

more, I'm more in the spirit. I'm more thinking about God

first. That's my first default.

That's my first go to that's my first response.

That's my first word. That's the first reaction.

That's the first everything. Seek first the Kingdom of God

and his righteousness and all those other things we want, all

those other things we consider all those other things first.

When he says, just seek me first and stand in that position of

righteousness that I've put you in.

And then you can just call those things out and they'll come to

you. And that's how he wants us to

live. But Abraham did not consider.

You know, when you're a kid, you sang that song, Father Abraham.

Many sons, many sons have father Abraham.

You know, Can you really sing that?

Because are you weak in faith or strong in faith?

Is he your daddy or not? If he is your daddy, then you

should be strong in faith. Then you should be considering

not all those things that are hitting you right now in your

life. And it doesn't mean you ignore

them. It doesn't mean you deny them.

Denying stuff is not faith. It is not faith for snot to be

running out of my nose and me to say my nose is not running, my

nose is not running, My nose is not running.

That is not faith. That is denial.

My nose is running. It's really not running, but my

nose is running. But God, you said, Father, you

said, make sure you understand and have a clear picture of what

faith is so that you can be strong in it.

And so that you can actually say Abraham is my father because I'm

strong in faith and I'm not considering.

And the Scripture says he was strengthened in his faith

because he did not allow unbelief in.

Every time you allow unbelief in, it weakens your faith, It

weakens it. Do not give unbelief.

Not one second, not one minute, not one consideration at.

All be fervent. Don't give your flesh an

opportunity. Don't give your flesh an

opportunity. Your body, your bills.

Your finances, your situation. This is life or death.

I'm telling you this is life or death, faith or doubt.

Second Corinthians chapter 4, verse 13.

2 Corinthians 4:13

And since we have the same spirit of faith, the same spirit

of say, I have the same spirit of faith.

According to what is written, I believed and therefore I spoke.

We also believe and therefore we speak.

And David. David in Psalms 116 also said, I

believe, therefore I spoke. You know, David was going

through some trials, just like if you go back up in 2nd

Corinthians 4. It says we're hard pressed on

every side, but we're not crushed, We're perplexed, but

we're not despair, We're persecuted but not forsaken,

struck down but not destroyed. It's not like stuff is not

coming at you, but you got to be so convinced and so solid that

you say, I believe, therefore I speak.

It doesn't matter what's coming at me.

I believe, therefore I speak. I'm so convinced I'm not putting

on a religious show. I'm talking about true faith,

the spirit of faith. We don't look at things that are

seen ever. We look at the things that are

in the unseen Revelations, chapter 12, verses 10 and 11.

Revelation 12:10

Let me get through this, Verse 10 says.

Then I heard a loud voice saying In heaven.

Now salvation and strength and the Kingdom of our God and the

power of his Christ has come for the accuser of the brethren who

accused them before our God. Day and night has been cast

down, and they overcame him. Now if he can.

Accuse you day and night, if he can accuse you day and night all

the time. Do you think you ought to be

living by faith day and night all the time?

You think you ought to be speaking out boldly day and

night all the time. You think you ought to be

singing praises and Thanksgiving to him day and night all the

time. So day and night has been cast

down, and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the

word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to

the death. Now that that scripture is not

talking about your testimony like what God delivered you out

of. It is not talking about that

when it says they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.

And the word of your testimony, that word of your testimony

means that you're speaking prophetically, the word of God

every day that that whatever comes to you, let's say it's a a

symptom. This symptom comes, I can say I

overcome by the blood of the lamb.

And because God, you said by your stripes I'm healed.

God, you said That is the word of your testimony.

It is you speaking prophetically, what God said.

So if you want to overcome, you got to overcome by declaring the

word of God and not consider and love your life.

More than that, you got to be laying your life, your life.

Down. Not, not considering your life

be fervent. Be strong, be quick, you

believe. Therefore you speak.

Now let's go to #2. #2 An indicator that you have a strong

spirit, a reigning spirit, is that you have victory.

Spirit of faith is a spirit of victory.

Now we can walk around here and I can look at some people and go

you got victory and some people I go you got defeat.

There's. Something else going on?

You If you have victory and we're going to talk about it,

you ought to have joy and you ought to have peace no matter

what, no matter what. And if something knocks you

down, the Bible says the righteous man gets back up.

He keeps getting back up. If it knocks you down, you get

up and wipe your brow and wipe your mouth off and say God, you

said I'll not be moved. You've got to have this victory

on the inside first. John chapter 5, verse four says

1 John 5 · chapter mention

for whatever is born of God overcomes the world and this is

the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

This is that spirit of faith. It says whatever is Are you born

to God? Whatever is born of God

overcomes the world. And this is a victory that

overcomes the world. The spirit of faith.

I want to read it to you. In the Passion translation, it

says you see every child of God overcomes the world.

For our faith is the victorious power that triumphs over the

world. It's your faith, your faith.

You conquer, you prevail. You run to get the prize because

you have this. The Spirit of faith on the

inside. First John 4/4.

It says You are of God, little children, and have overcome them

because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the

world. He who is in you is greater than

he who is in the world. You got to ask yourself, when

you get up every morning, do you look in the mirror and go, oh,

or do you go? Do you see in the Spirit 1st and

go greater is he that's in me than he that's in the world.

This is the day that you've made God and I rejoice.

I'll be glad in this day. I trust you.

I trust you. Holy Ghost, you've conquered

the. World in the spirit.

That's why you've got to get in the spirit and stay in the

spirit. Live in the spirit, Second

2 Corinthians 10:3–5

Corinthians chapter 10 verses 3 through 5 says.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the

flesh. For the weapons of our warfare

are not carnal but mighty. They're mighty in God for the

pulling down of strongholds, casting down arguments, and

every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of

God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of

Christ, the Scripture says, for we don't war against the flesh.

We don't war we. Here's what the Scripture says.

Let me just read it. For though we walk in the flesh,

we do not war according to the flesh.

We do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of your

warfare are not carnal. But what are they?

They're mighty. They're mighty in God for the

pulling down of strongholds. This spirit of faith is

happening on the inside of you, and if you're not pulling down

those strongholds and pulling down those fiery darts that come

at you constantly, then you're not going to conquer.

You have mighty weapons in the spirit.

The word of God is the sword of the spirit.

When those things come at you, be super quick to say no.

God, you said when thoughts of defeat, when thoughts of

depression, when thoughts of lack, when thoughts of worry

come to you. You got to be so quick to take

take captive that thought and say God, you said my weapons are

mighty in you Holy Ghost, this is what you said, this is how

you overcome in life. This is how you sit there and

not be sad. Everybody smile.

Good job. OK, first John chapter 2, verse

1 John 2:14

14. It says I have written to you

fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning.

And I've written to you young men, because you are strong.

And the word of God abides in you.

And you have overcome the wicked one.

You have overcome the wicked one.

Do you have victory? I don't you?

You can answer me right now, but I internally want you to ask

that question. Do you have victory no matter

what? No matter what's coming at you?

Are you living in a state of victory when it comes?

Do you know I've conquered this? And the Spirit.

So let me get over in the spirit.

Let me get over into God. What you said.

I've conquered this. I have the victory.

And you've got to remind yourself when those things come,

go. I have the victory.

What? What could this church

accomplish if all of us were really on the same page?

If we were really in unity? Because that's where the Bible

said God commands the blessing. He commands the blessing.

When we're all unified and that's that doesn't just mean

that we can all come up in here and be unified.

Because just getting us unified in here sometimes is hard

because some of you are hooked up, some of you are drawing, and

some of you are going. So just getting unity here is

one thing, but Can you imagine what we could conquer?

As a church, please just let me be your coach right now.

Can I come down and slap a few of you?

I would love to do that right now.

It'd be totally love. It would be totally love.

It really would be. What was I saying?

Yeah, unity. Unity.

If we go, oh, what could we do as a team, as a body, if we all

got in unity, not just here, but can we start here, can we start?

And you bring, you know, when you come in here, you bring a

supply of faith or you don't. It's one or the other.

So when you come in here, are you just like sliding in?

You know, just like, oh, I got to get here and get set, sat

down, find my seat and you know, we.

Live in this culture of entertainment.

We we scroll, we watch, we stare.

We zone out. We want to be entertained.

We want things to come to us. We want to, you know, we want to

sit back and go. Come on, Pastor Angie, what you

got? Show me something.

What you got? You got anything?

We're conditioned that way. You got to get out of that.

You got to get out of that. You got to quit coming in here

and sitting and expecting to be entertained and expecting for

somebody to to come out and grab your spirit man and say come on,

you got this, get out of that. Be a team player.

Be somebody that comes in here and brings your spirit of faith.

Be somebody that comes in here and says, I'm believing God for

a word. I'm believing for people to get

delivered. I'm believing God that you're

bringing people from the north, east, South and West.

I'm believing you, Lord, that you're speaking to me.

I thank you, Lord, that you supply everything that I need.

Come in here and bring something.

Quit being dead weight in here. I'm not saying you are.

I'm just, you know. Just trying to tell you

something for a minute. OK, #3 let's try to wrap this up

#3 Joy and peace in believing. These are indicators.

These are indicators. You're fervent.

You're you're a conqueror. You conquer things right away.

You're quick to speak the word of God. #2 was you've got the

victory, you got the victory, you've got the greater one on

the inside of you got the victory.

And #3 is Joy and Peace in believing Romans chapter 14

Romans 14:17

verse 17 says for the Kingdom of.

God is not eating and drinking. It's not the same stuff.

It's not just talking about right here, food and drink.

It's talking about the scene. Realm for the Kingdom of God is

not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace and joy in

the Holy Ghost, in the spirit, the spirit of faith.

You're not going to have peace and joy in the Holy Ghost if you

don't understand your righteousness, if you don't

understand. This is a gift.

You know Righteousness is a gift.

It's not anything that you did on your own merit.

It is a gift. That is why in Romans chapter 5

Romans 5 · chapter mention

it says that you can reign in life because of the gift of

righteousness. He literally did not just take

all your sin, he did not just take everything for you.

It's not innocence that gets you in the Kingdom of.

God. He He not only took all that,

but he actually imputed or transferred to your account his

righteousness. That's why you can stand boldly

before him, before the throne of God, because you're in him.

You're literally hidden in him. The Bible says you died with

him, you rose with him, You're buried with him, you rose with

him, you're in him. And so you should walk.

Around all the time it's in him that I live.

It's in him that I move. It's in him that I have my

being. It's in him I'm I'm hidden.

It's no longer I that live, but it's Christ that lives in me.

If you understand that position of righteousness, you'll have

peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. If you're living in the spirit

of faith, if you have a reigning spirit, if you have a strong

spirit, you'll have peace and you'll have joy in the Holy

Ghost Romans. 1513 says Now, may the God of hope fill you with

all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by

the power of the Holy Ghost. It says that he may fill you

with all hope and all joy. And peace and believing it.

Should you have joy and peace in your believing?

I'm going to tell you, if you think you're believing and you

don't have joy and peace, you're not in faith.

You are not in faith if you do not have peace and.

Joy and the minute you discern. I'm going to read Hebrews

Hebrews 10 · chapter mention

chapter 10 in just a minute. The minute you discern that that

anxiety is trying to hit you. You got to have enough maturity

and enough strength on the inside of you that you can

recognize that right away and say, I will be anxious for

nothing. Not one thing.

But through prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving,

I make my request known to you. And the peace of God that

surpasses all understanding guards my heart and my mind.

You got to be mature enough in your faith and have this spirit

of faith that you can recognize those things when they come.

God's first covenant people when He established the feasts and He

and and He established them when they were bringing their tithes

and offerings. There's multiple places where He

commanded them to rejoice. I want to read one to you,

Leviticus, chapter 23, verses 40 through 43.

Leviticus 23:40–43

It says. And you shall take for

yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees,

branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and the

willows of the brook. And listen, you shall rejoice

before the Lord your God for seven days.

He literally told them they were going to rejoice.

So if I walk down here, if I walk down here and said, Sabrina

Indolent, I need you to rejoice right now, I need you to do it.

You don't have to do it, but but I need you to rejoice for seven

days straight. OK, I like the response.

But I could walk to some of you and say I need you to go rejoice

for seven days right now. And you'd be like, don't tell me

what to do. Tell me.

What to do? God told them to rejoice.

He didn't ask them how they were feeling.

He didn't ask them what their circumstances were.

He didn't ask them if they had conquered anything yet.

He didn't ask them any of those questions.

He said, Now here's what you're going to do.

You're going to rejoice for seven days.

This is not the only place where he told them to do that.

And in the New Testament, he tells us to do that.

This is a choice. God's not in control.

It's not about when you feel like laughing.

It's not about when you feel like being thankful.

It's not about when you feel like rejoicing.

It's not about when you feel like it.

You've got to do it. You've got to just choose every

day. When our girls were little, we

didn't give them a choice of whether or not they wanted to be

happy. They didn't have a choice.

We literally told them you're going to have a thankful heart.

We didn't ask them. We didn't give an option if they

got pouty or teary or whatever. I said get yourself together.

You have a thankful heart and you have a happy heart.

Be glad for what you have. That's an easy way to start.

It was a veggie tale song. We used to sing it.

And that was it. That was, that was their only

choice. And that's how some of our our

parents here, that's that's a nugget for you.

We should be that way with our kids.

We let our kids decide way too much, way too much.

Let them choose how they want to feel.

What's this little gentle, soft parenting?

I'm telling you, that's not our parenting class.

That will not be our parenting class at all.

It's no different with your father God, though.

And it's not mean. It's life.

It's life for you. So when you wake up in the

morning, you ought to go. I'm going to rejoice.

I don't care how I feel. That's how you get the victory.

And that's how you go from strength to strength.

And that's how you go from faith to faith.

And that's how you go from glory to glory.

That's how it happens. I don't care what you think

about it. That's how it works.

That's how the spirit of faith works.

You choose to rejoice. You choose to believe.

You choose every day whom you're going to serve.

Either you're going to serve yourself or you're going to

serve him. A lot of people in our culture

today serve themselves. Whatever they want to do, they

do, Howard. They want to feel.

They feel we should not be that way.

We've overcome the world. And if you look the same as the

world, you should not, you should not look the same as the

world. So he required them to rejoice.

And that word rejoice means to be cheerful and to brighten up.

Get happy. Don't wait till you feel like

doing it. Just do it.

Just do it. You know we're supposed to have

faith like a child. What is it?

What is a child do when when a song comes on, they dance.

They don't take them anytime and take them anytime to dance.

Don't take them anytime to sing. Don't take them anytime to jump.

Don't take them anytime to do that.

How come we're so dignified? How come we can't just quickly

jump in? How come we can't just quickly

respond? The scripture says You foolish

Galatians, You foolish anchor Faithians.

How come? How come you started this thing

out in the Spirit and now you want to continue in the flesh?

How come you got to get out of you?

It's not you. It's not about you.

It never was about you. I'm not trying to hurt your

feelings, but it's not. It's not about you.

And you got to just every day make a decision that you're

going to live in this spirit of faith, no matter what.

Proverbs 1722. Everything the Lord tells us

requires a response. Everything that He tells us.

A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit

dries up the bones. It literally affects your

health. If you don't have joy and peace,

it happens in your body. Your chemicals get off.

Things happen in your brain that throw every chemical off in your

body and cause you to be unhealthy.

When you are sad, when you are worried, when you are anxious,

when you are depressed, when you allow the spirit of fear to come

in your life. It changes what happens in your

physical body. It doesn't matter how often you

go to the gym. It doesn't matter how healthy

you eat. That is part of it, and you need

to do that. But it's about where you're at

on the inside, what you're believing, what you're trusting,

what you're putting your faith in.

Every single day, James, chapter one, verses two and three, says

my brethren. Here we go.

In the New Testament, he's telling us what to do.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various

trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces

perseverance or produces patience.

Count it, joy. He didn't give you an option.

He didn't ask you. He didn't ask you how you felt,

he said. Brethren, sister.

And when something comes at you, count it, joy.

Count it, joy. You got to get good at this.

I'm telling you, you got to get good at it.

It's not a personality thing. It's not a pastor Angie thing.

It is not that. It is a faith thing.

It doesn't matter what you're feeling, what your personality

is, You've got to choose to count it joy all the time.

Emotions are always. Going to be there.

They're always going to hit you. They're always going to come at

you. Deuteronomy chapter 31, verse

Deuteronomy 31 · chapter mention

six. Before we go there, let me read

Proverbs 2128 real quick in the world.

You will have tribulation, but be of good cheer.

Be of good cheer. Deuteronomy 3126 says.

Be strong and of good courage, and do not fear nor be afraid of

them. For the Lord your God He is the

one who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake

you. He will not leave you or forsake

you. Can you realize that God?

It's in him. Everything was made.

You were made. You were created.

He formed every one of your days out before one of them came to

be, and that you're just supposed to walk this out by

faith and yield to him Revelations 27.

I'm going to just give you these references.

These are multiple references in Revelations that says to him who

overcomes to him who overcomes to him who overcomes.

It's your choice whether you're going to overcome.

It's your choice whether you're going to live in this spirit of

faith. Or a spirit of doubt.

Revelation 27 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit

says to the church. To him who overcomes, I will

give to eat from the tree of life which is in the midst of

the paradise of God. Revelations 211 He who has an

ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.

Revelations 217 He who has an ear, let him hear what the

Spirit says to the churches. To him, whoever comes, I will

give some of the hidden manna to eat, and I will give him a

whitestone. And on the stone a new name.

We We sing that song, a new name written which no one knows

except him who receives it. Revelation 226.

And he who overcomes and keeps my works until the end to him I

will give the power over the nation's Revelations. 3/5 He who

overcome shall be clothed with white garments, and I will blot

out His name from the book of Life.

But I will. I will not blot out His name

from the book of life, but I will confess His name before my

Father and before his angels. Revelations 312.

To he who? Overcomes.

I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall

go out no more. I will write on him the name of

my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem,

which comes down out of heaven from my God, and I will write on

him my new name. Revelations 321.

To him who overcomes, you see the the consistent thing, this

consistent theme here To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit

with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my

Father on his throne. Revelation 21, Seven and eight

To him who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will

be his God, and he will be my son.

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the abominable,

murder sexually immoral sorcerers, idolaters, and all

liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire

and brimstone, which is the second death to him who

overcomes. Whose choice is it to overcome?

It's ours. Whose choice is it to have a

strong spirit? Whose choice is it to reign in

your spirit? Ephesians Chapter 6 be.

Ephesians 6 · chapter mention

Strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. 1st

Corinthians, 1613. Watch Stand fast in the faith.

Be brave and be strong. I want to read it to you in the

Amplified. Be on guard.

Stand firm in your faith in God, respecting his precepts and

keeping your doctrine sound. Act like mature men.

And be courageous. Be strong.

I'm telling you the spirit of fear is just that.

It is a spirit, and you better recognize it when it comes.

When that spirit of timidity and fear comes to you, you better

take authority over it right away, because you'll live in

doubt. You'll live in anxiety.

You'll live in fear if you allow it in.

Anything that you recognize that you've allowed a spirit of fear

to gain access, you better get strengthened in your spirit and

take dominion. Take authority over that.

Thing Hebrews chapter 10 and I'll close with this.

Hebrews 10 · chapter mention

For though by this time you ought to be teachers.

You need someone to teach you again the 1st principles of the

oracles of God. And you've come to need milk and

not solid food. For everyone who partakes only

of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a

babe. But solid food belongs to those

who are of full age. Please listen to this.

Please listen to this. Solid food belongs to those who

are of full age. Who, that is by reason of use,

have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

First of all, it says if you don't understand who you are in

Christ. If you don't understand that

you're the righteousness of God in Christ, you're a baby.

And it says if you're mature, then you can by reason of use.

By practice, you're able to discern clearly between good and

evil that you have full discernment.

When things come at you, you can easily discern because you're

mature. You're strong in your faith.

I can go. Nope, That's evil.

I recognize that, and I take dominion.

I take authority over that. By reason of use, we take

authority. We recognize we discern those

things that try to come against us having a strong spirit.

Proverbs 1814 says the spirit of man will sustain him in

sickness. Not just sickness, everything,

everything in life, but a broken spirit who can bear.

Hebrews chapter 10 verses 38 and 39 says the just shall live by

Hebrews 10:38

faith, and if anyone draws back, my soul shall have no pleasure

in him. But we are not of those who draw

back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the

soul. You've got to be like David, you

know, in in the Psalms, David said.

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why are you so distraught within

me? You got to talk to your soul.

It's OK to talk to yourself. In that kind of way.

You got to say why? Are you downcast?

Oh my soul? Why are you worried about many

things? Why are you flailing around?

Why are you shadowboxing Oh my soul?

Why? Are you trying to get things

from God? Why are you trying to figure

things out? On your own.

You got to be like David and say, why are you doing that?

Oh my soul, Why are you downcast?

O my soul, put your hope in God. That's what he says in the

scripture. Why are you downcast, O my soul,

put your hope in God, for despair is a waste of time,

don't you know? Put your hope in God.

You got to talk to your soul. You got to take dominion.

And Luke, it says in your patience or in your

perseverance, you possess your soul.

Nobody's going to possess it for you.

You've got to do it. And I'm going to end with this

scripture. Psalm 2714.

Wait on the Lord and be of good courage, and He will strengthen

your heart. He will strengthen your spirit.

Wait, I say, on the Lord. You've got to internally ask the

question with these signs or these indicators, do I have a

strong spirit? Am I fervent?

Do I? Quickly default to the.

Spirit of God, do I quickly speak the word of God?

Do I quickly jump over in faith, or am I more quick to side with

the scene realm? Am I fervent?

Am I hot? Am I stirred?

Up? Am I built up on the inside?

That's one indicator that you have a reigning spirit, a

strong. Spirit, do I have the victory?

Do you have the victory? Do you live in victory?

Do you live conquering? Do you conquer on the inside?

Is the greater one on the inside of you?

Can you conquer anything that comes at you?

That is an indicator that you have a reigning spirit.

And then the last one was joy and peace and believing.

You better recognize if you have joy and if you have peace in the

Holy Ghost. Because if you don't, then I

would, I would venture to say you're not in a position of

faith because faith sees it done.

The spirit of faith has victory and knows it's already taken

care of. Doesn't matter what I see, all

those things are under my feet. I can stay positioned in my seat

of authority. I can yield to what the Word of

God says and what the Holy Ghost is telling me about every

situation. Oh, my prayer for you today is

that you be strengthened in your faith, That you capture this

spirit of faith on the inside that we leave out of here,

Father God. And we ask ourselves the

question, do I have joy? Do I have peace?

Am I fervent on the inside? Am I quick to boldly speak the

word of God? Do I walk around like I have

victory? That we ask ourselves these

questions and we do an inventory and we don't walk out of here

and just walk right back into our everyday situations and the

heaviness and the anxiety and the cares of life.

But we're quick to cast those things.

Off. We're quick to get the victory.

We're quick to speak what you said, Father.

We're quick to choose joy. We're quick to choose peace.

We're quick to live this thing out.

And I thank you, Father. God, as this church gets in

unity, Hallelujah. As this church gets in unity and

the Spirit unity, not when we're just in this building, but when

we're in our homes. She's speaking it over there and

he's speaking it over there. And I'm speaking it in my home.

And there's a there's an anointing that begins to build

and begins to to draw people into this church so that

sicknesses can be broken off of them and and heaviness can come

off of them because we're in unity and we're in unity in our

homes, not just here in the church.

And I just thank you, Father God, that we'll do this thing

that we're. Quickened.
