The Spirit Unleashed

Last Week: Prayer gives our human mind clarity and direction—sharpening our conscience to recognize the Holy Spirit's leading.

Big Idea: Jesus didn’t come to be admired—He came to reproduce His life in you.

Colossians 2:9 (HCSB) For the entire fullness of God’s nature dwells bodily in Christ, and you have been filled by Him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.

The Spirit That Conquered All Now Lives in You

• Silenced Satan in the wilderness—victory over temptation.
• Cast out demons with a word—victory over darkness.
• Spoke and sickness vanished—victory over disease.
• Forgave sin and broke its chains—victory over bondage.
• Carried the cross and crushed its curse—victory over sin.
• Entered death and walked out alive—victory over the grave.

Romans 8:11 (MSG) It stands to reason, doesn’t it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he’ll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life.

Jesus didn’t just win your victory—He gave you the power that won it. Will you walk in it?

Romans 8:37 (KJV) In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Philippians 4:13 (NIV) I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

1 John 4:4 (ICB) My dear children, you belong to God. So you have defeated them because God’s Spirit, who is in you, is greater than the devil, who is in the world.

2 Corinthians 2:14 (BLB) But thanks be to God, the One always leading us in triumph in Christ, and through us in every place making manifest the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.

• You can't have a testimony without a test.
• You can't have a victory without a battle.
• You can't conquer if there is no struggle.

Joshua 1:9 (NLT) This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

• We are not just overcomers—we are conquerors like Him.
• We conquerors through the power of the Spirit, the Word, and obedience.

Acts 2:33 (NIV) Exalted to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

• Jesus’ ascension was not an exit—it was a coronation.
• Through His glorification, His Spirit became omnipresent.
• The same Spirit that conquered everything in Him is now in you.

You were never meant to live defeated. The Spirit in you is the same Spirit that crushed Satan, overcame sin, healed the sick, and conquered death.

How to Walk in the Spirit’s Victory

1. Recognize you have the same Spirit that conquered everything.
2. Stop fighting for victory—fight from victory.
3. Walk in the power of the Spirit through prayer, not just the knowledge of It.

1 Corinthians 4:20 (NIV) The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

The Spirit wasn’t given just to be acknowledged—He was given to be walked in.
