This is a Powerpoint of "Victorious Vision", a message about victory over life issues such as alcohol, drugs, being victimized, depression and many others. It is controversial, but encourages faith and hope. I truly hope you are blessed by it. Text follows below.
~Pastor Sharron
Those waging war will target the most threatening to them--not the weakest. They go after those who have the capability of doing them damage, and do everything they can to usurp their power.
We are in a war of the Spirit. When I am in a room full of people who are "In Recovery", I want to tell them that they are the most powerful people in the world. How do I know that? Because the enemy has waged war on them since (for some of them) before they were born.
Abuse, neglect, molestation, addictions of every kind are evidence of a darkness in this world. That darkness has whatever power we choose to give it. Our circumstances and our decisions or the decisions of others directly effect us and how we live our lives. Many of us grew up not knowing we had the option of saying "NO".
Imagine every believer who is currently struggling with addiction, abuse, neglect, depression, anxiety, fear, hopelessness, helplessness, and any other negativity the enemy can throw at us, all in one place at one time. I know....no stadium would be large enough! Sadly, as Christians, we are not immune to these things.
Now imagine if EVERY CHRISTIAN had unshakable faith in God's Word; believed what it said, believed that God doesn't lie, believed that He loves us unconditionally; believed that God's Holy Spirit was truly sent to us as comforter and companion.
Imagine if EVERY CHRISTIAN realized that with their baptism came the HOLY SPIRIT POWER Christ Jesus promised, and that we are given AUTHORITY TO USE IT. Even the RESPONSIBILITY to use it.
In my vision, every person before me became filled with PASSION. Filled with HOPE. Filled with CONFIDENCE. Filled with the realization that they do not any longer have to be "In recovery", but that Christ has had victory in that battle and they are TRULY HEALED.
The nerve, you say? I know. It's controversial. But remember, one of the strongest lies of the enemy is that we can never be free from addiction. We will always be alcoholics. LIES.
I teach that IF YOU BELIEVE and have received Jesus Christ as your Savior AND You walk FORWARD in your faith, learning and remembering what you believe AND Surround yourself with others who lift you up, not tear you down AND Learn who you were created to be, and BELIEVE and WALK in it AND Learn what it is God is calling you to do that no one else can do as you can AND You TAKE A STAND on your faith, refusing the lies of the enemy, AND Learn to wage spiritual warfare, defeating the enemy's efforts AND REFUSE TO ANY MORE SEE YOURSELF AS A VICTIM and learn to NEVER AGAIN ALLOW FEAR AND ANXIETY in your life, guess what?, YOU WIN. You cry VICTORY!
Because Jesus shed his precious blood and died on the cross, went to hell and took the keys away from the enemy, and rose again, and ascended to Heaven, leaving us the Holy Spirit, HE OBTAINED VICTORY FOR US.
You see, the enemy doesn't want you to believe this. But we can show you in black and white (and red, in some bibles!), proof of God's love for you. AND what his plans are for you.
Maybe you have had a pretty good life, or don't struggle with addiction. But you feel unsatisfied, or worry. Don't you see, we have the courage of the Holy Spirit to pull from? We have his power to use? WE ARE WORLD CHANGERS, and the enemy is scared to death of us!
Now, imagine if every Christian TRULY BELIEVED, TRULY TRUSTED IN GOD, and accepted the authority God gave us. If we learned use that authority as it was intended.
EVIL WOULD NOT TOUCH US. IT COULD NOT. We are God's sleeping army. Warriors in need of fortification and training, that don't know how powerful they are!
I say it's time to rally the troops and take back our own lives, our faith, our marriages, our families, our relationships, our schools, our churches, our towns, our counties, our states and our COUNTRY! How much longer are we going to sit back and do nothing, whining about how bad our lives are and that nothing changes for the good?
Remember, not using God's power means you are enabling the enemy. THE ENEMY HAS NO POWER OTHER THAN WHAT YOU GIVE HIM. He is nothing but a fallen angel. He has no kingdom. He has no minions. He's just a pitiful, frustrated, selfish spirit who messed up big time, and is freaking out. How do I know this? Because:
I READ THE BOOK, AND IN THE END HE LOSES. AND WE WIN.
Now how about it? Would you like to know more? Would you like to gather together and see what a difference we can make? Call me or reply. Let's do this thing!
