Good morning. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I am Cherri Campbell. Today I’m going to continue sharing with you the Christmas message I’ve been sharing with you that I preached in one of our Victorious Faith Christmas services called Emmanuel, God with us. So join me now in our live service for the continuation of this Christmas message, Emmanuel, God with us. If God is… For us, who can be against us? I mean, what a statement. Who could be against us? Or you could say successfully be against us. He who did not spare his own son, but gave him up. What? For us all. See how much for us is in this? gave him up for us all, how will he not also along with him graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. I put in brackets, you can say he’s on our side. He is for us. Anybody wanting to accuse you, condemn you. God is the one who justifies and you are made righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ. God is on your side. God is always for you. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus who died. More than that, who was raised to life is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. We got the Holy Spirit and Jesus interceding at the right hand of God. For who? For us. And say for me. Make it personal. For me. You have an intercessor every day. You have an intercessor. Jesus and the Holy Spirit is interceding for you to save you and deliver you from your troubles. Hallelujah. Jesus is interceding for us. I mean, who can lose if you’ve got the Holy Spirit interceding in accordance with God’s will and you’ve got Jesus interceding? No way we can lose. The only way to lose is to quit. Give up. Don’t do it. Never, never quit. Never give up. Never lay down your life. Give your life to Jesus. Never give up in a situation. Give the situation to Jesus. Never give up in a trial. Give the trial to Jesus because he will win it for you. He will give you the victory. Glory to God. Verse 30. Let me back up. I just, that’s so good. Christ Jesus who died, who more than that, who was raised to life is at the right hand of God and is also interceding on For us, who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship? Is there anything in your life that could separate you from the love of God? What’s the answer? No. Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written, for your sake, we face death all day long. We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. No. In all these things, we are more than conquerors through him, with him who loved us. For I am convinced neither death nor life. Well, what is there between besides death and life? Nothing. This is in all situations, whether in death or in life. neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future. You can even add to it the past. The past cannot do it. The present cannot do it. The future cannot do it. No, any, not any power of Satan or the kingdom of darkness can do it. Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation. we’ll be able to separate us from the love of God. And I put in brackets for us, God’s love for us. That is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Nothing shall separate you from the love of God that is in Christ. The love that God has for you. There is nothing that can separate you from his love. Hebrews 7, 24 and 25. Again, The intercession of Jesus. But because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him because he always lives. Why? To intercede for us. Why is Jesus living today? to intercede for us, to intercede for you. Again, you have an intercessor. It is Jesus Christ, the son of God interceding for you and the Holy Spirit interceding for you in accordance with God’s will. Hallelujah. If God is what for us, who can be against us? Turn to somebody and say, God is for you. You are not alone. God is for you. God is with you. And God is with me. Amen. Amen. And the last thing we’re going to look at is God in us. Hallelujah. John 14 verses 16 and 17. And I will ask the father and he will give you another counselor to be with you forever. We looked at that already with you. The spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him for he lives with you and will be in you. Hallelujah. Now, he’s only in you. If you ask Jesus to be your Lord and savior and to come in to your heart and life to be your Lord, you have to invite him in. Remember in the book of Revelation, it says he stands at the door and knocks. He’s a gentleman. He doesn’t break down the door. He doesn’t barge in and come in and take control and take over. He knocks and waits for you to open the door, invite him in. So right now, just say, Jesus, I ask you to come into my heart, come into my life, come into every situation in my life. I give my life to you. In Jesus name. Amen. And if you’re watching online, if you prayed that for the very first time, you’re now born again, born of God into God’s family. You are now a child of God. That’s what it takes. You have to ask Jesus to come into your heart. You have to give your life to him. He will not take it. You give it to him and then he will come and live in you and abide in you forever and and give you the victory. You have to ask him in praise the Lord. And so John 14, 20 on that day, you will realize that I am in my father and you are in me and what I am in you. Jesus lives inside of us. Second Corinthians 6, 16. And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. The temple is where God dwells. In the Old Testament, it was a temple built with hands. But in the New Testament, after Jesus was raised from the dead, people… Their heart becomes his temple. God moves inside of us and God no longer lives in a temple built with hands. He has chosen that human vessels will be his temple. People, men and women, will be his temple. He lives in us. The creator of the universe, the universe cannot contain him. He is so big, but then he is so micro and macro small. He can fit inside every person. He can fit inside. What’s the smallest thing they know of a quark? Smaller than an atom, smaller than a molecule, which has protons, neutrons, electrons. The smallest thing I think is a quark. So anyway, he lives in us. And so I was reading here for you are the temple of the living God. As God has said, I will dwell what in them and walk among them. I will be their God and they shall be my people. God dwells in us. Galatians 2 20. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live. You see, that’s what happens when you’re born again. And if those of you, if you just asked Jesus to come into your heart, that’s really what happened because you are a spirit man on the inside spirit. On the inside, you live in a flesh body, but you have a spirit inside. That spirit was dead to God. It was filled with death. And when you ask Jesus to come into your heart, he gives your spirit new birth. He doesn’t remake the old. He gives you a new recreated spirit on the inside. You’re still the same person. but a recreated spirit on the inside. And then that old man, we say died or was crucified. Now you are a new creation in Christ, your spirit, not your body. You have the same body. You may like that. You may not like that, but when we go to heaven, it will be glorified and you’ll be happy. but on the inside, you’re a new creation when you receive Jesus. So I have been crucified with Christ. That’s when we get born again and I no longer live, but Christ lives where in me, the life I live in the body. I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave himself what for me. He gave himself for me. Praise the Lord. And 1 John 4, 13. We know that we live in him and he where? In us. He lives in us because he has given us of his spirit. And in other places, in Romans, it says the spirit in us lives. gives witness and by his spirit, we cry Abba father. So the spirit is a witness in us that we know we have the Holy spirit living in us. So if you don’t know that, that’s why you need to ask Jesus to come into your heart and be your Lord and savior. Then you can confidently know you are a new creation in Christ and he lives in you. His spirit lives in you. You are his child. He is in you. You are in him. What you just heard was the continuation of a Christmas message that I preached in one of our victorious faith services called Emmanuel, God with us. And he’s not only with us, he’s also for us and in us. I believe this message is blessing you. Now join me again tomorrow as we will continue this message. And remember, God loves you. You are blessed and highly favored by the Lord.
