SPEAKER 02 :
Good morning. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I’m Cherry Campbell. This morning I’m going to continue sharing with you the Christmas message that I’ve been sharing with you all this week that I preached in one of our Victorious Faith services called Why Did Jesus Come? So join me now in our live service for the continuation of this Christmas message called Why Did Jesus Come? At number 29, Jesus came to give us the victory. 1 Corinthians 15, 57. But thanks be to God, he gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. That means that we can always have the victory. We might fight battles, which we do. We will fight battles. But he always gives us the victory. Praise God. And then number 30, he came, Jesus came to be our Lord and Savior. Now those are two different things. Savior means he saves us. Lord means he becomes our ruler. Luke 2.11, the angel proclaimed to the shepherds in the field, Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord. He is our Savior and Lord. Now, just because you make him your Savior doesn’t mean that he’s automatically your Lord. He’s only your Lord when you surrender, when you follow, yield, and obey him. Amen. Now, number 31, Jesus came to demonstrate the love of the Father. John 15, 9, as the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. He demonstrates the love of the Father. Jesus, number 32, Jesus came that we might know the Father. John 17. He’s praying to the Father in verses 25 and 26. Father, righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you. And they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them and will continue to make you known. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. And John 1, 18, no one has ever seen God except the only son who is close to the father’s heart has made him known. So God, Jesus came to make known the father. Otherwise the father, God was a stranger, but he made him known to us. Hallelujah. 33, Jesus came to be the light of the world and to deliver us from darkness. Matthew 4, 16, the people living in darkness have seen a great light. On those living in the shadow of death, a light has dawned. John 12, 46, I have come into the world as a light so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. John 8, 12, when Jesus spoke to the people, he said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. Colossians 1.13, who has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear son. That’s why we should never be in darkness, either mentally, spiritually, or physically, because Jesus came to deliver us from the power of darkness. Darkness no longer has a hold on us. Hallelujah. Praise God. Amen. And then number 34, Jesus came to bring the kingdom of God to the earth. Matthew 6, 10, Jesus prayed your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And Matthew 1, 14, I mean, I’m sorry, Mark, Mark 1, 14 and 15. When Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom, he said, the time is fulfilled. The kingdom of God is at hand. It’s at hand or it is here. The kingdom of God is here. Luke 11, 20, the kingdom of God has come to you. And I have a whole series on the kingdom of God. You can listen to that on my YouTube channel. But Jesus came to bring the kingdom of God. He came to colonize earth because the kingdom of God was in heaven only. But he expanded the kingdom of God to the earth. That is colonizing earth. Just like when Great Britain went to India and other parts of the world, they colonized. Great Britain came to the United States, or came to America at the time, but we were not the United States, and colonized North America. Well, Jesus left heaven and came to earth to colonize earth, to make earth a colony of heaven, to bring the kingdom, which is the government and rule and laws of God, from heaven to the earth, and to replicate heaven on the earth. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. And then number 35, of course, Jesus came to preach, teach, and heal. And you know all those scriptures, Matthew 4, 23 and 24, Mark 1, 38, Mark 4, 18, Luke 4, 43. But Jesus came teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. He came preaching, teaching, and healing. Number 36, he came to teach us how to use our faith and authority. He came to teach us how to use the laws of the kingdom. And I have here an example of Mark 11, 22 to 24. Jesus cursed the fig tree. Peter looked and said, look, master, the fig tree you cursed has withered from the roots. And Jesus taught them how to do the same thing. And that’s what all of his teaching was. If you have a red letter Bible, all of that red letter is teaching us how to be like him, how to walk in the spiritual laws of the kingdom in faith, in authority, use our words, sowing and reaping, etc., Number 37, Jesus came to be the author and finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12, 2, let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Number 38, Jesus came to send the Holy Spirit. John 14, 16 and 17, and I will ask the Father, he will give you another counselor to be with you forever, the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him for he lives with you and will be in you. Hallelujah. John 14, 26. But the counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have said to you. John 15, 26. When the counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. Acts 1.8, but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. So Jesus came to send the Holy Spirit to us. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. And number 39, Jesus came to give us glory. 1 Corinthians 2.7, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden, that God destined for what? Our glory before time began. The Amplified Bible says it like this. The Amplified Classic says, God destined for our glorification. To lift us into the glory of his presence. He destined for our glorification so that we would be lifted up into the glory of his presence. Hallelujah. 2 Corinthians 3.18. We also with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory are being transformed into his likeness from glory to glory or with ever increasing glory. So he destined us for glory. Hebrews 2, 9 and 10, we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death so that he might taste death for everyone in bringing many sons to glory. So our destiny is glorification, to be glorified in his presence. Hallelujah. And I stopped there at 39. There were others, but I didn’t feel a witness to go any further. Of course, you can probably add on to this list from now through eternity, things that Jesus did. We won’t even learn them all at once. We’ll learn them through eternity, all that Jesus did for us. But I thought it interesting when I felt complete that, and that this list was complete, I had 39. And then when you think of 39 in biblical numerology, what do you think of? The 39 lashes. And so I just quickly looked it up and thought, why were there 39 lashes? The Old Testament law said 40. Deuteronomy 25.3 says that nobody was to be lashed more than 40 times to fulfill the law for punishment of a crime. But they, that’s what the Jews did. They would always kind of, the law was here. We would bring that border in a little bit. We don’t want to come close to the edge. So they always made the edge a little bit closer that they wouldn’t cross it. And so actually 39 lashes for punishment. Paul wrote in one of his, in the book of Acts, he said he received 39 lashes or 40 minus one three times. But what was that for? It was Jewish tradition that permitted 39 lashes for punishment, 40 to fulfill the law, less one to show mercy. So that shows that Jesus came to fulfill the law to show us mercy. And I thought, wow, how awesome is that? We have a list of 39. Like I said, through eternity we’ll be adding to that list. But we have a list of 39. And it was Jesus came to completely fulfill the law and to show us mercy. And that’s all of it in a nutshell, summarizing why he came to deliver us, set us free from sin and the power of sin and from Satan and death and hell and the grave and the curse of sin and death. Now, I wanted to read this to you. This is a prophetic word that was given to Tim Sheets. He’s a pastor and apostle, a pastor of a church in Ohio. But the Lord gave him a prophetic word, which was based on Acts 2, 16 through 18 and the book of Joel. This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel. In the last days, God says, I will pour out my spirit on all people. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. And actually right there, your sons and daughters, this is what authorizes women to preach. In the last days, there will be women preachers. Because God said he would pour out his spirit on the sons and daughters. In the past, it was only on the men. But now it’s on the sons and daughters. That authorizes women to preach. Not that we needed it because Jesus already authorized us. There’s other scripture for that, that we are authorized by Jesus. But this is another one. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, men and handmaidens, I will pour out my spirit in those days and they will prophesy. So this shows the spirit being poured out on men and women. And so he was asking about the Christmas story. And he writes, recently I asked Holy Spirit for fresh revelation and insight concerning the Christmas season and the Christmas story, the story of the birth of Jesus. Holy Spirit very clearly responded to me saying, prophesy from Luke’s writings on the birth of Jesus Christ. Prophesy it into your times. And he went on to look at, and he writes, in the first chapter of Luke, we read that a supernatural mega event, mega event, planned by the Godhead in heaven, had come to its appointed moment, appointed time. Woven throughout the story of the birth of Jesus, we see how the prophetic promises, and I would say that had been given for thousands of years, 4,000 years since Adam, all of these prophetic promises had to align supernaturally. And all the characters involved in the story that were to be part of this awesome event had to be born at the right time, grow into their moment. The story reveals that hell cannot stop Adam. Any purpose of God coming to the earth, hell could not stop the birth of Jesus. Hell could not stop the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Hell could not stop the resurrection of Jesus. It also shows that Lucifer, or we would say Satan and his kingdom, have no clear understanding of what the Godhead is planning. They don’t know. It’s a mystery to them. They’re confused. They’re in the dark. It proclaims that while hell’s kingdom is real, it is inferior in every way, shape, and form to the kingdom of Almighty God. Yes, hell is real. Yes, the kingdom of darkness is real. But it is inferior in every way, shape, and form to the kingdom of Almighty God. What you just heard was the continuation of a Christmas message that I preached in one of our victorious faith services called Why Did Jesus Come? And we will continue and conclude this message tomorrow. So join me again tomorrow. And remember, God loves you. You are blessed and highly favored by the Lord.
