This document discusses how victory comes from chasing God's presence, honoring God, and allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us rather than relying on our own power. It argues that God can use us and give us victory when we honor Him as God, pursue His presence, and let the Holy Spirit guide our thoughts and actions rather than living with pride or impure thoughts. The document calls readers to have faith like those who stood in the water before it receded and to let God continue working through them to show His power, bringing victory and blessing them and future generations.

1. The Thrill of Victory

2. Joshua 3 and 4
Read Joshua 3:1,3,5-7,10,12,13,16,17 &
Joshua 4:10,14-18, 24

3. Romans 8:1-17

4. Galatians 5:16-26

5. Victory comes in the lives of
those who chase the presence
of God.

6. Victory comes in the lives of
those who honor God for the
great God He is.

7. As long as we don’t think we
need God, Jesus, and the Holy
Spirit and stay full of pride.

8. God can’t use us.

9. As long as we have known
impure thoughts and actions in
our lives.

10. God can’t use us.

11. As long as we try to work in our
own power and not in His power,
plan, and promise.

12. God can’t use us.

13. But when we honor God for the
great God He is, He works IN us
and THROUGH us.

14. Victory comes when someone
has the faith to stand in the
water BEFORE it recedes!

15. God’s victories in and through us
bless us and others that come
after us.

16. So the question today is:

17. Who is willing to step in the
water and believe that God is
going to continue to do His work
and show His almighty plan?

18. Galatians 6:16-18
16 May God’s peace and mercy be upon all
who live by this principle; they are the new
people of God.
17 From now on, don’t let anyone trouble
me with these things. For I bear on my
body the scars that show I belong to Jesus.
18 Dear brothers and sisters, may the grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Amen.

19. The Thrill of VICTORY!
