So child of God doesn't have to walk around bound and hopeless, bound to things that prevent you from doing the will of God, bound from attitudes and emotions and habits that militate against God's plan and purpose for your life.

You don't have to be in that state because Christ came to give us freedom.

You may have forgotten it or maybe you never knew it at all, but there's a war going on,

and if you're a believer in Jesus Christ, you're in it.

Hello and thanks for stopping by for today's

Destin for Victory with Pastor Paul Shepard. You know, Satan declared war on God a long time ago,

and if you've been born again, you were born into that battle. What are the obstacles to you

winning this war, and how do you overcome them? Well, stay right here to find out, but remember,

you're always invited to come see us at pastor Pastor Paul.net, where you can listen to any recent message on demand, including today's.

That's Pastor Paul.net.

Today's Destined for Victory Message is called When Jesus Comes, and it starts right now.

John chapter 1, when it's talking about the work of Christ, it says he came to his own,

speaking of the fact that he came to the nation of Israel.

Some did, but most did not.

But it goes on to say, but as many has received him, and that includes not only the

receiving, believing Jews, but also Gentiles later on, as many has received him, to them

gave he power. If you read King James, you'll see power there. That's why you've got to do

some deeper study, because King James often translates power,

but we use the word power for a lot of different things.

Greek is a more specific language.

When you look at it, it means to them gave he exusia.
