Victory in Jesus
Backgrounder: Eugene Bartlett
was born in December 1885 in
Missouri and grew up in Arkansas.
He was educated as a music
teacher at Hall-Moody Institute
in Tennessee and William Jewell
College in Missouri. In 1918,
he established Hartford Music
Company. Over his career, Bartlett
wrote more than 800 songs.
In 1939, Bartlett had a stroke
that left him partially paralyzed.
After the stroke he was bed ridden.
Bartlett continued to study his Bible
during this difficult time. Although
he dealt with the physical strains,
he also looked towards the eternal
victory he knew was approaching.
During this difficult time after his
stroke, Bartlett wrote the words
to Victory in Jesus, which was the
final song he wrote. The hymn is
an optimistic reminder of the hope
of heaven. In the second stanza,
there are references to the
healing ministry of Christ.
Lord, we claim Victory in U Jesus:
For whatever is born of God
overcomes the world. And this
is the victory that has overcome
the world – our faith. Who is
he who overcomes the world,
but he who believes that Jesus
is the Son of God (1 John 5:4-5).
Dear loving Heavenly Father,
we thank you for your precious
Word of proclamation that
whoever is born of God
overcomes the world through
our faith in Christ Jesus.
And that when Jesus laid down
himself during his passion,
by His stripes we are healed.
Lord, we recognise that Loving
You God with all our heart, and
abiding in You is so important
in order to see answered prayer.
So, we purpose to know You God
intimately & abide in that intimacy.
For your word say: If you remain
in me and my words remain in u,
ask whatever you wish, and
it will be given you (John 15:7).
And we believe it according to
John 16:23, that whatsoever we
ask You, Father, You will give it
to us and we receive it, and
so we account this done.
Jehovah Rapha, grant unto us
individually & the body of Christ,
that with boldness we may speak
The WORD and for You to stretch
forth Your Hand to heal, that signs
and wonders may be released
in the name of Jesus Christ.
Give us we pray, gifts of healings,
special faith and manifestations
of Yourself among us in notable miracles
and ways that only the Holy Spirit can accomplish,
in our personal lives as your disciples.
Lord, as we obey Your commands
to go into the world and preach
this gospel, signs will follow us,
and we lay hands on the sick and
they will recover to Glory of God!!
Friends, who need healing pray:
Lord, your mighty word proclaims
You are the God who forgives
all my iniquities; who heals
all my diseases (Psa 103:3).
You promised You will restore
health to me and heal me
of my wounds (Jer 30:17).
Above all, Jesus was bruised for
my iniquities; and by His stripes
I am healed (Isaiah 53:5).
We claim Mark 11:24: Whatever
we ask for in prayer, believe that
we’ve received it & it will be ours.
So, we proclaim that by the blood
of Jesus, all sickness, bacteria &
virus to go in Jesus’ name! Amen.
All Praise and Glory to the Lord
for the Victory in Jesus! Amen!
I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Then I repented of my sins;
And won the victory.
Refrain:
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him,
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood
I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing power revealing.
How He made t lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, “Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,”
And somehow Jesus came
and brought To me the victory.
I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory.
& I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing,
And the old redemption story,
& some sweet day I’ll sing up
there the song of victory.
