Praising God In 1 John 5 (Apr 24)

We Have Victory In Jesus

Eugene Bartlett was born Dec 1885
in Missouri & grew up in Arkansas.
He was educated as music teacher
at Hall-Moody Institute in Tennessee
& 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.
Although dealt with physical strains,
Bartlett looked towards the eternal
victory he knew was approaching.
During this difficult time, Bartlett
wrote the words Victory in Jesus,
which was the final song he wrote.
The hymn is an optimistic reminder
of the hope of heaven; and in the
second stanza there are references
to the healing ministry of Christ.

Lord, we present the Covid crisis
to You & we claim Victory In 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).
Now this is the confidence that we
have In Him, that if we ask anything
according to His will, He hears us.
And if we know that He hears us,
whatever we ask, we know that
we have the petitions that we
have asked of Him (v14-15). Amen

Heavenly Father, we thank You
for Your Word of proclamation
that whoever is born of God
overcomes the world through
our faith in Christ Jesus. And so
We claim Mark 11:24: Whatever
we ask for in prayer, believe that
we’ve received it & it will be ours.
All Praise and Glory to the Lord
for the Victory in Jesus. Amen!

Lord, we recognise loving You
and abiding in You is important
in order to see answered prayer.
So, we purpose to know You God
intimately & abide in that intimacy.
Your word say In John 15:7 that:
If you remain in Me and My words
remain in you, ask whatever you
wish, and it will be given you.
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. Amen.

Friends, who need healing pray:
Lord, Your mighty word proclaims
You are the God who forgives
all my iniquities; who heals
all my diseases (Psalm 103:3).
You promised You will restore
health to me & heal me (Jer 30:17).
Above all, Jesus was bruised for
my iniquities; and by His stripes
I am healed (Isaiah 53:5).
So, I proclaim that by the blood
of Jesus, all sickness, bacteria &
virus to go in Jesus’ name! 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…
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. Amen.
