Victorious Living

By Dr. Jack Hetzel

The reason for writing this is that Paul covered so many subjects. It seems to me that the Holy Spirit would be pleased if I wrote a chapter on each mentioned there. Not that I am smarter than any other reader, but we could see the quantity of scripture on each subject. Therefore, proving the word by the word. My idea is to see what the Bible sa

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this writing is to show that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever and that He is still doing the work He started in His three and a half years of ministry. We are to remember that in instructing the apostles He gave instructions as how to and keep his work going after He ascended back to the Father. Here are the how to and instructions He gave:

Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV)

¹⁸ And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. ¹⁹ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: ²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

When you see the word therefore you want to go back and look at what therefore is about. In this it is in proper paraphrasing take this power and put it to work on my behalf.

Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV)

¹⁸ And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

¹⁹ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: ²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Using this power and authority to assist in your teaching and baptizing. Further he said I will be with you to the end of the ages to see that it works.

Jesus knew that with signs, wonders, and miracles they could reach the nations. However, by natural man using the human way of thinking has taken this power out of most ministries. Oh yes, they still will say that God can use whomever He wills, but without the power to get the job done. So, some of the best preachers in the world can build large congregations, but where is the power we see in the great commission?

Mark 16:15-18 (KJV)

¹⁵ And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. ¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. ¹⁷ And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

¹⁸ They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Oh yes, they will teach verses 15 & 16 in the above scripture but somehow skip over verses 17-20. these verses are skipped over for fear. Fear that they might lose some members, the pastorate, or not please their denomination.

WHAT IS AN IDEA

There is nothing more powerful than an idea. Ideas created and now controlled a thought; when a thought is conceived it is called a concept. Concepts are the material that dreams are made of and they serve as substance for living and interpreting life. Everything humans have made or invented was first preceded by an idea. As a matter of fact, Inventions are often called one’s brain - child. In essence, the mind can be impregnated
